Bangkok: Academics unanimously urge society to give the "blue government" a chance to prove its worth, emphasizing that the future should not be judged by the "shadows of the past." Associate Professor Dr. Olar Thinbangtiao from Burapha University raised the issue of urging society to move beyond the "Thaksin regime" trap, stating that while past lessons are valuable, they should not be used as a "pre-judgement" of the new government led by Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul and the Bhumjaithai Party before they have even begun to work concretely. He emphasized that the credibility of a government should be measured by how it actually uses power and the results it produces for the people, rather than judging it through biased or outdated political lenses that may obscure the changes in the current context.

According to Thai News Agency, Associate Professor Dr. Wanwichit Boonproong, an academic from Rangsit University, expressed understanding of the concerns of senior academics, but suggested waiting for the results to speak for themselves before criticizing. He pointed out that the new government still has numerous tasks and challenges to urgently address. If, in the future, their work does not meet expectations or if mistakes occur, society can then turn to harsh criticism, which would be fairer to those who will govern the country.

This movement was sparked by Associate Professor Jermsaksri Pinthong, who previously expressed concerns online, suggesting that the Bhumjaithai Party's victory and rise to leadership could signal the resurgence of a new form of the "Thaksin regime." The subsequent actions by younger academics reflect a clash of ideas: the use of past experiences as a cautionary tale versus the call for political space to allow the new government a chance to prove itself.
