Thanathorn: “We were robbed of victory!”
13 Sept 05:47Key points summarised by AI
Future Forward leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit declared the pro-democracy alliance was "robbed of victory" in the recent election, despite General Prayut Chan-o-cha's confirmation as prime minister.
Thanathorn framed the election as merely one battle in a prolonged struggle for democracy, expressing firm belief that the "winds of change" will ultimately bring freedom and justice.
He urged supporters not to despair, outlining the Future Forward party's plan to focus on legislative work, prepare for local elections, and strengthen the party's base outside of parliament.
