上周六下午的一场暴雨被认为是造成集会出席人数减少的原因。在双方的对峙中警方轻松取得了优势。这导致集会组织者、退役将军汶勒(Boonlert Kaewprasit)取消了抗议活动,并就参加人数较低向他的追随者道歉。据估计最多有1.5万人参加了这场集会。
'Gen. Boonlert is gone. For me it is over,' he told reporters, adding that he was worried, too, for the safety of demonstrators.
汶勒对记者说,汶勒将军不在了,在我看来他已经不复存在。他还说自己为抗议者的安全感到担忧。
In many ways, Saturday's protest, while smaller than expected, was a throwback to a series of demonstrations that began in 2005, analysts say. Back then, hordes of royalist demonstrators amassed in Bangkok to protest Mr. Thaksin and his brash, almost presidential style of government. Next year came the coup and two years after that more protests by royalists─who this time seized control of Bangkok's two international airports, helping bring down another pro-Thaksin administration. In 2010, with a military-backed government in place, clashes between Thaksin supporters and security forces in Bangkok claimed more than 90 lives.
分析人士说,从很多方面看,上周六的抗议活动尽管规模小于预期,但却和始于2005年的一系列抗议活动类似。当时,成群的保皇派示威者聚集在曼谷,以抗议他信和他领导的傲慢的、几乎带有总统作风的政府。2006年发生了政变,两年后保皇派成员发起了更多抗议活动。这一次他们控制了曼谷的两个国际机场,帮助推翻了另一个亲他信政府。2010年一个军方支持的政府执掌泰国政权时,他信的支持者和安全部队在曼谷爆发的多场冲突导致90多人身亡。
