Thailand: No confidence motion against PM Shinawatra voted down

Thailand’s Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra survived a no-confidence vote that confirmed the strength of her coalition in Parliament. The no-confidence motion was voted down by 319 to 162, with seven abstaining. Local media reported that the youngest premier in Thai history, the 38-year-old Shinawatra, had been accused by the opposition of being controlled by her father, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. She was also accused of avoiding taxes and of involvement in the recent repatriation of some Uyghurs to China last month.
