Русская версияThai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej has vowed not to resign
despite growing pressure from anti-government protesters.
Samak
made the statement during a televised ceremony in honour of
Thailand's royal family in Bangkok. The opposition People's
Alliance for Democracy has already staged five days of protests
aimed at toppling Samak's seven-month-old government. Demonstrators
have occupied government buildings in Bangkok and disrupted air and
rail traffic throughout the country. The conservative PAD accuses
Samak of being an illegitimate proxy of former Prime Minister
Thaksin Shinawatra who was ousted in a military coup in 2006.
