In Thailand, where the spread of the new coronavirus continues, large-scale anti-government demonstrations were held again following last week, saying that measures against corona were insufficient, and demonstrators and police clashed and injured. Demos are becoming more radical.
In Thailand, the infection of the highly infectious mutant virus "Delta strain" has spread, and the number of infected people per day, which was less than 100 in April, has increased to around 20,000 every day in August. Dissatisfaction with the government has increased over delays in the procurement of vaccines, and demonstrations are continuing.
Following the 7th of this month, a large-scale anti-government demonstration was held in the capital Bangkok and other areas on the 10th, and the demonstrators marched on cars and motorcycles to prevent infection and demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Prayut.
A man who participated in the demonstration accused the government of saying, "The current government does not have the ability to manage the medical system. Patients with the new Corona have not even been able to secure a bed and have not been treated."
Some of the demonstrators turned into mobs by throwing stones and flame bottles at the police officers who blocked their way and setting fire to police facilities, while the police officers fired rubber bullets and tear gas to suppress them. It seems that many people were injured, including police officers.
With prolonged restrictions on mobility and economic activity in Thailand, the number of infected and dead is increasing, and anti-government demonstrations by uncertain and uncertain citizens are becoming more radical.
