Before the vote, FFP secretary-general and list-MP Piyabutr Saengkanokkul told the House the executive decree violated Section 172 of the constitution, which says executive decrees should be used for urgent issues. He said the executive decree did not reflect any urgency.
The armed forces were answerable for royal security, it was their main responsibility, Mr PIyabutr said.
He criticised Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha for issuing the executive decree.
"The issuing of this executive decree shows a problem with the cabinet exercising its power, and Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is familiar with possessing and exercising special power," Mr Piyabutr said.
"I reserve the right to oppose the executive decree because it does not comply with the constitution. It is not a matter of urgency, or an emergency. This is to show my disapproval of Gen Prayut exercising power exempted by the constitution in a way that will create a habit of ignoring the constitution.": https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand...ffp-opposition
