Mark my words, I think we shouldn’t deny the reality that the political crisis in Thailand is the crisis that was constructed and did not just happen by itself. [It didn’t exist], but was created in order to bring in outsiders (outside the parliament) to become the prime minister. When this happens, it is against Article 3 [of the 2007 Constitution] and the principles of democracy.
