People’s Party leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut has warned that Thailand remains under a “blue regime” that concentrates power in the hands of elites, as he called for the creation of a new “politics of hope” through the drafting of a new constitution.
In a statement posted on his Facebook account on the 12th anniversary of the 2014 military coup on Friday, Mr Natthaphong, also the opposition leader, said that although tanks have disappeared from the streets, the process of stripping power from the people has continued in more subtle but increasingly severe forms.
