The prime minister should be open-minded to the young protesters' demands, he said. As MPs and senators met in joint session to try and find solutions to the problems, protesters plan to rally at the German embassy in Bangkok. The protesters wanted German authorities to look into whether His Majesty the King had violated German sovereignty by exercising his power on German soil.
