BANGKOK — The Thai government on Thursday denied opposition claims that it faces a military coup amid intensifying street protests and ahead of expected elections.
Deputy prime minister Suthep Thaugsuban rejected the suggestion, by a politician and leader of the anti-government "Red Shirts", that the army was poised to intervene in Thai politics.
"It's not possible because I have worked with all armed forces leaders and they support democracy," he told reporters.
But he acknowledged that some in the deeply divided nation would support a military move -- which would be the 19th actual or attempted coup in Thailand since 1932.
