タイでパトン・シナワット首相が史上最年少で首相に就任した。37歳の彼女は、就任をとても光栄に思い、喜んでいると語った。国のために、そして党のために何かをする時が来たと思いました。彼女は新しい顔だが、なじみのある家族で、ある意味ではなじみのある顔だ。
I mean as you have seen from that clip She comes across as quite natural and young and excited by the job.
あの映像をご覧になったとおり、彼女はとても自然で、若く、この仕事に興奮しているように見えます。
And I think a lot of ties will like that But the Shinawat family are controversial There are many conservative ties who don't trust her father Thaksin Shinawat That is the reason almost certainly why the court ruled against his previous nominee former Prime Minister Seta So, you know for somebody who's inexperienced like Paton Tan, she's got a tough job to do She's got to watch out for the courts moving against her she has to hold together a very uneasy coalition including a lot of conservative parties that still don't like her father and She has the promise that her party's given to revive an economy in Thailand Which has been stuck with low growth for many many years now They've they've kind of run out of options And so, you know, it's it's quite a lot for a person that young and inexperienced to be taking on Yes, because you mentioned the the court intervention, but there's a recent history of Thailand is court interventions and military coups It's quite a it's quite a lot to be contending with and aside from the economy.
しかし、シナワット一族には、彼女の父親であるタクシン・シナワットを信用していない保守的な結びつきが多い、彼女は厳しい仕事をしなければならない 裁判所が彼女に不利な動きをしないように気をつけなければならない 彼女は父親をまだ嫌っている多くの保守的な政党を含む非常に不安な連立をまとめなければならない 彼女の政党が約束した タイの経済を復活させること 何年も低成長から抜け出せないでいる 彼らは選択肢を使い果たしたようだ それでそうですね、裁判所の介入とおっしゃいましたが、タイの最近の歴史は、裁判所の介入と軍事ク
What will the big challenges be for her?
彼女にとって大きな挑戦とは何だろうか?
Well, that's the biggest one it's surviving I mean three other members of her family have been prime ministers before all of them were ousted by the coups or court rulings Thailand's courts are incredibly powerful.
つまり、彼女の一族のうち他に3人が首相を務めたが、いずれもクーデターや裁判所の判決で失脚している。
They're very conservative along with other institutions They impose very very tight rules on elected politicians and you can break those rules quite easily for quite small infractions They have the power to dissolve your party to sack you as a prime minister even to file criminal charges So I think that's what will be most on her mind at the moment.
選挙で選ばれた政治家には非常に厳しいルールが課され、ちょっとした違反でも簡単にそのルールを破ることができる。党を解散させたり、首相をクビにしたり、刑事告発する権限まで持っている。
Just trying to avoid that fate
ただ、その運命を避けようとしているだけだ
