However, some parties questioned the necessity of a second chamber. Constitutional reforms were also a key point of discussion at the meeting.

Siam, who sustained serious injuries, is currently hospitalized. Protesters claimed that despite filing a complaint with the police, no arrests have been made, leaving them in a state of insecurity.
