A PROTEST movement demanding new elections in Thailand has abandoned negotiations with the prime minister and said yesterday it will instead resume its massive street demonstrations.
Jatuporn Prompan, one of the leaders of the so-called Red Shirts, said yesterday that two televised face-to-face meetings with Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and aides would not be followed up tomorrow "because both sides now have different goals."
"Our demand is for the parliament dissolution to take place within 15 days," he said. Abhisit had offered on Monday to dissolve parliament by the end of the year, prompting new election.
The Red Shirt protesters have been holding street demonstrations in the Thai capital for the past two-and-a-half weeks.
