BANGKOK – When asked for her reaction to the lese majeste charge against her father, she said: “Honestly, we don’t want any more cases, but we will deal with it.

The legal team is working on this matter to the fullest extent.”

Addressing rumours that Thaksin was facing the lese majeste charge because he did not follow a deal, Paetongtarn said, “There are no deals.

There is no deal related to this case. There are absolutely no deals at all.”

Regarding the morale of the Pheu Thai Party, she said, “Everyone is concerned about my father, but I am confident that Thaksin is not worried about lese majeste.

Personally, I believe there has been a distortion of the truth since the beginning of the prosecution.

I am confident that there is no way this case will stand in court.”

“This case was filed right after the recent coup.

And the attorney-general was appointed by the NCPO, so it’s a fact worth considering,” she said.
