'Yellow Shirts' demand PM quit
Cape Times
|June 20, 2025
HUNDREDS of anti-government protesters gathered outside Thailand's Government House yesterday, demanding Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra resign over a leaked phone call with former Cambodian leader Hun Sen that triggered public outrage.
-
The scandal rocked Paetongtarn's coalition after the Bhumjaithai party, a key partner, pulled out this week, accusing her of undermining the country and insulting the dignity of the military.
The leaked call, in which Paetongtarn referred to the Thai army's north-eastern commander as her opponent and addressed Hun Sen as “uncle” has drawn strong public backlash.
The protest, held in scorching tropical heat, drew mostly elderly demonstrators wearing yellow shirts - the colour strongly associated with Thailand's monarchy - who accused the 38-year-old leader of “lacking diplomatic skills” and “endangering national interests”.
