Thai PM accused of being at the heart of all problems facing the nation

Thailand’s Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha is at the heart of the problems facing the nation, anti-government protest leader, Jatuporn Prompan has told Thai PBS World. He is proposing to bring Prayut down as well as write a “people’s constitution”.

Prayut might think he legitimised the military coup, which installed him, in the 2019 elections, but the junta–drafted constitution continues to draw people onto the streets, taking the country back to political division which, as the 2014 coupleader, he pledged to resolve.

Jatuporn blames the prime minister for the current aggressive deployment of the kingdom’s draconian lèse majesté law against activists, which just worsens the political crisis. He reiterated that this is all the more reason why Prayut must go.
