“Anutin” affirms openness to the November 5, 2026 anti-government protest, asking that it remain within constitutional rights

Today (2 November 2026) at 1:00 PM at Nong Khai Hospital, Nai Mueang Subdistrict, Mueang Nong Khai District, Nong Khai Province, Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, gave an interview regarding Mr. Mano Khruakaew, kamnan (subdistrict head) of Krabi Noi Subdistrict, Krabi Province, and leader of the southern civic network, who is mobilizing 1,000 vehicles to protest and oust the government on November 5, 2026. He stated that this is a matter for the police and local administration to handle by building understanding with the citizens.

When reporters asked whether the Ministry of Interior has spoken with the protest leaders, many of whom are local leaders, Mr. Anutin stated that local administration falls under the Ministry of Interior.

When asked whether having many legislative achievements is one thing while outside-parliamentary marches toward Government House are brewing, Mr. Anutin stated, “Let it remain within the rights, within the framework of citizens' rights prescribed by the constitution. We are already open to it.”
