Who Is Behind The Milk Tea Alliance?

Leonid Savin- Current events show that the protests are developing into something strange and monstrous.

The Economist writes disapprovingly that the King of Thailand, Maha Vajiralongkorn, wants to restore an absolute monarchy. The article states that way back in 1932, revolutionaries proclaimed the end of Thailand’s absolute monarchy, and a monument was installed to mark the event. But in December 2018, it was removed.
