Thai court suspends Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra over a leaked phone call

  • On Tuesday, Thailand's Constitutional Court suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra following the release of a recorded conversation with Cambodia’s Senate leader Hun Sen, amidst tensions between the two nations.
  • The suspension followed a petition by 36 senators accusing her of violating constitutional and ethical standards during border tensions with Cambodia, with the court voting 7-2 to suspend her from July 1.
  • Paetongtarn accepted the suspension and assigned herself the culture minister role, which she is due to take on Thursday despite uncertainty due to the ongoing Constitutional Court probe.
  • Deputy Prime Minister Suriya and Transport Minister Jungrungruangkit stepped in as acting prime ministers, while thousands protested in Bangkok and a key conservative coalition partner abandoned her Pheu Thai party.
  • Political analyst Thitinan Pongsudhirak noted a "direct undeniable linkage" between Paetongtarn's case and her family's legal challenges, warning this represents a "critical dilution" of the Shinawatra political brand.
