A banned opposition politician, who is facing a criminal complaint of defaming the monarchy, defended on Thursday his criticism of the government’s coronavirus vaccine strategy that relies on a company owned by His Majesty the King.
Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit this week accused the government of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha of mishandling the vaccine campaign, saying it was too reliant on Siam Bioscience and will be slow to protect the public.
