Rak Chart pledges relief for low-income earnersListen to this articleThe Rak Chart Party yesterday canvassed in Samut Sakhon, pledging to ease economic hardship by tackling informal debt, which it described as a major burden on low-income earners. The campaign was led by party leader and former digital economy and society minister Chaiwut Thanakamanusorn and its prime ministerial candidate Jade Donavanik. Some of them said they have borrowed from loan sharks who charge 20% interest over a 40-day cycle, with repayments demanded daily. Meanwhile, Kannavee Suebsang, the Movement Party leader, campaigned in Suphan Buri's Song Phi Nong to support MP candidate Napatsaran Chatchawalanon in Constituency 2. He said this approach would help create sustainable local income and reduce reliance on national-level economic policies.
