PM Anutin Orders Ministries to Address Protesters' Demands
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has ordered all ministries to hear out protesters camped at Government House and act on their demands where possible. He confirmed the government has already cut B20 diesel prices by 10 baht per litre, a key protest demand. Interior Ministry officials have been deployed to monitor and engage with the demonstrators.
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said he instructed all ministries at Tuesday's cabinet meeting to listen to proposals from protesters gathered at Government House and respond where feasible. He assigned Interior Ministry officials, including the permanent secretary and department heads, to visit and monitor the demonstrators. On the protesters' demand to cut diesel prices, Anutin stated the government has already reduced B20 diesel by 10 baht per litre. Asked if he would visit the rally himself, the prime minister said no premier has done so before and he would wait for the appropriate time.
