BANGKOK, Feb 7 (TNA) – Truckers planned to protest against the high diesel price early this week while the government spokesman told them the government was already capping the price; otherwise, it would have reached 34 baht per liter.

 

As the Land Transport Federation of Thailand planned to organize rallies of heavy trucks on Feb 7 and 8 to call for the ouster of Energy Minister Supattanapong Punmeechaow for the high diesel price, government spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said the government was aware of problems and was capping energy prices.

 

The spokesman asked truck operators to understand present situations and said that diesel prices in neighboring countries mostly either exceeded 30 baht per liter or were close to the level except in Malaysia that was a petroleum producing country and had an oversupply of oil.

The Freedom Convoy is applying huge pressure and is spawning similar protests around the world. The legacy media is doing their best to downplay it however.  Wait and see the mandates crumble.
