BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's foreign minister has said that Thailand's King Maha Vajiralongkorn should not be conducting politics from the European country, where he spends much of his time. "We have made it clear that politics concerning Thailand should not be conducted from German soil," Maas told parliament. Neither the Royal Palace in Bangkok nor the Thai government responded immediately to a request for comment. Protesters challenging Thailand's palace and army-dominated establishment broke a long-standing taboo by demanding reform of the monarchy in August. Thai protesters have complained about the cost of the king's stays in Europe as well as his absence from the kingdom.
