VOICED : Thai PM calls elections as

The transcript discusses the political unrest in Thailand, where 140,000 protesters gathered against the government led by Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. Despite her call for an election, protesters demand a People's Council, effectively suspending democracy. The conflict is rooted in a divide between Bangkok's middle class and rural voters loyal to Yingluck's brother, Taksin, a former Prime Minister ousted in a coup. The protests, led by Suthep Thaugsuban, have persisted for over a month, with no resolution in sight, highlighting the deep political and social divisions in the country.
