Does Pheu Thai-led coalition spell death for the red-shirt movement?

17 Sept 02:14 Key points summarised by AI

Pheu Thai's alliance with parties linked to the 2010 military crackdown has profoundly disappointed and shaken many red-shirt members, extinguishing their hopes for justice.
Former leader Thida Thavornseth affirms the red-shirt movement, rooted in the struggle against injustice, will persist and re-emerge independently, not led by Pheu Thai.
The movement's ideological core, focused on democratic goals and progressive change, has shifted allegiance, supporting the Move Forward Party in the recent election, demonstrating a lack of singular party devotion.
Despite feelings of betrayal, red-shirt members view Pheu Thai's actions as a lesson, reaffirming their commitment to a more just society and willingness to join new protests for shared causes.
