The hashtag #RepublicofThailand trended on Twitter in Thailand on Friday after a decision by parliament to delay possible changes to the constitution infuriated protesters in the Southeast Asian kingdom.
During more than two months of anti-government protests, some protest leaders have said they seek reforms to reduce the powers of King Maha Vajiralongkorn but not to make Thailand a republic.
Government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri said he had not seen the hashtag and declined to comment. Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha did not comment on the hashtag but told reporters national security was paramount and protesters would be prosecuted if they broke the law. “When people are desperate for reform, they’re thinking of revolution,” he told Reuters. “More desperation will lead to more aggression.”
