The Democrat Party has rejected claims that party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva proposed cutting civil service pensions, saying his remarks during the debate on the 2027 Budget Expenditure Bill were taken out of context and distorted for political gain.
Party spokesman Pongsakorn Kwanmuang said on Saturday Mr Abhisit's comments had been misrepresented.
He said the party supported the welfare of public-sector employees, including healthcare benefits and pensions, while advocating reforms to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability.
