Friends,
Please help me understand the following sentence:
ฝ่ายรัฐบาลและฝ่ายค้านต่างระดมกุนซือเข้าช่วยในศึกอภิปรายครั้งนี้
Does the use of "ศึก" in connection with "อภิปราย" imply that the debate will be fractious, contentious, and difficult? If so, the result would be,
"The government faction and the opposition each mobilized their advisers to help with the upcoming fractious debates."
Is my understanding correct? Thanks.
