Red-shirts will not join October 14th protest - Vice Minister Suporn Atthawong
14 Sept 03:06Key points summarised by AI
Vice Minister Suporn Atthawong, a former red-shirt leader, claims most red-shirt followers will not participate in the October 14th protest, based on discussions with current and former red-shirt core members.
Red-shirt leaders reportedly reject offers of travel expenses from former Opposition MPs, stating their refusal to join stems from the protest's focus on offending the Monarchy rather than promoting democracy.

Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul confirms the possibility of the Kla Tham Party joining the coalition government, stressing that any political move must prioritize national interest and government stability.
He acknowledges reports of a potential merger between the Kla Tham and Bhumjaithai parties, stating such a decision would hinge on public benefit and strengthening the government with competent individuals.
Anutin firmly denies any internal conflicts or “undercurrents” within the current coalition, citing cross-party cooperation on significant projects like the 165-billion-baht Pasak-Chao Phraya-Gulf infrastructure.
The Prime Minister reiterated his commitment to prioritizing the country's well-being over political considerations and praised the expertise of all Cabinet members, regardless of their party affiliation.
