| dc.description.abstract | At the time of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra administration, Thailand experienced a
political crisis that originated from the opposition refusal to the bill on amnesty. The
formulation of Amnesty Bill did not solve the problem, even it led to a new problem. The
problem arose from the opposition party that desired to overthrow Prime Minister Yingluck.
The opposition had lost trust in Yingluck because the policy of the bill was considered to
protect the previous PM Thaksin S. To resolve the political crisis, Prime Minister Yingluck
provided a solution to hold election on February 2, 2014. When the results showed that
Prime Minister Yingluck won back, then the opposition brought a lawsuit to Court to reject
the election results by reasons that the eleftion was not conducted simultaneously, then on
March 21, the Constitutional Court decided to cancel the results of February 2 election by
unconstitutional grounds. By the cancellation of the results of February 2, 2014 election a
wave of demonstrations in Thailand was getting bigger and bigger. Opposition demanded
PM Yingluck to immediately step down because it was found that there were many acts of
corruption and nepotism to save her sister from the law who were also involved in the
earlier cases of corruption | en_US |
