Thailand's opposition on Monday grilled Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra on the first day of a parliamentary no-confidence motion, accusing her of being unqualified and of allowing her powerful father to wield influence over her administration.

The article discusses a political event in Thailand where Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin faced a censure motion in parliament. The opposition, led by the Move Forward Party, accused him of being influenced by former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who returned to Thailand after 15 years in self-exile. Thaksin, despite being sentenced to eight years in prison for corruption, was immediately hospitalized upon his return, raising suspicions about his influence over current political affairs. The opposition's motion highlighted concerns over Thaksin's potential sway over the government, especially given his past as a divisive figure in Thai politics. The debate was intense, with the opposition questioning the integrity of the current administration and its ties to Thaksin, while the government defended its autonomy and dismissed the allegations as baseless.
