ccbb dddd ddcccc The People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) urged the government to cancel MOUs from 2000-2001, push for lower living costs, reform state enterprises and the justice system, and expedite solutions to the energy crisis. Meanwhile, government spokesperson Ratchada acknowledged receipt of the letter, affirming that the government is addressing all beneficial issues and firmly denying any plans for casinos.
At 09:30 on 21 April 2026, the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) network, led by Mr. Phichit Chaimongkol and Dr. Tul Sitthisamwong, alongside the State Enterprise Labor Federation (SorSor), gathered to submit the "People's Agenda" demands to the government. These demands include immediate cancellation of the 2000-2001 MOUs, efforts to reduce living costs, urgent reform of the country's state enterprise system, justice system reform, and accelerating government actions to resolve the global and Thai energy crises.
Mr. Phichit said that after the government announced its policy statement, the PDRC as representatives of the public will submit proposals to guide national administration. These include restructuring energy prices, which has been a long-standing demand, and adjusting the cost of living for workers. Fuel prices and living expenses have risen, and product prices have increased, but workers’ expenses have also risen accordingly. Therefore, wages should be increased correspondingly.
Regarding the 2000-2001 MOUs, it is currently clear that the 2001 MOU will be canceled, but importantly, the 2000 MOU—which predates the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia—is still in place. Today, the Thai military has established control over a significant amount of territory returned to Thailand. If the government still adheres to the 2000 MOU framework, it means maintaining the status quo, as that MOU uses a 1:200,000 scale for territorial claims. However, the Thai military’s demarcation uses a 1:50,000 scale. Therefore, Thailand has the right to cancel both the 2000 and 2001 MOUs immediately, according to
