Thailand Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha looks on during the special session at the parliament house in Bangkok, Thailand, Monday, Oct. 26, 2020. Thailand's Parliament began a special session Monday that was called to address tensions as pro-democracy protests draw students and other demonstrators into the streets almost daily demanding the prime minister's resignation.
The demonstrations by student-led groups in the Bangkok and other cities have three main demands: that Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha step down, the constitution be amended to make it more democratic and reforms be made to the monarchy to make it more accountable.Public criticism of the monarchy is unprecedented in a country where the royal institution has been considered sacrosanct and royalists have denounced the protesters for raising the issue.
“But we have to admit that in Thailand, millions, tens of millions, of people do not want to see change though chaos,” he said, referring to different points of view over the protesters and their demands. “Everyone has their own beliefs.”Opposition leader Sompong Amornvivat of the Pheu Thai party criticized Prayuth for his handling of the crisis.
They concern instead the risk of the coronavirus spreading at rallies, the alleged interference with a royal motorcade by a small crowd earlier this month, and illegal gatherings and the destruction of images of the royal family. Prayuth in his opening remarks referred to these as the reasons for holding the session.
Stand up for Equal Justice and opportunities for ALL!

Thai protesters say they will petition Germany over kingThai demonstrators said on Sunday they would petition Germany to investigate King Maha Vajiralongkorn's use of his powers while he has been staying in the European country, as thousands of people again took to the streets of Bangkok. Germany ?! Lots of luck with that! It's a messed up system. The king lives most of the year in opulent accommodations in Germany spending his country's money. Yet you're not even allowed to criticize him back home? So f$ked up

Thai PM repeats calls for calm ahead of protesters' deadlineThai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha repeats calls for calm ahead of anti-government protesters’ Saturday night deadline for him to step down, as the government and the pro-democracy movement appear no closer to resolving their differences. horrible Resolving their differences...lol..like it's just a lil misunderstanding I hope the Thai government will take a tougher stance on the illegal protest. I can see the NED will soon pull out their HK riot blue prints, with road blockade and setting fire on public utilities.
