The grouping has got together out of disagreement with the Red Shirts ' heavy protests in 2010 which led to several road closures and blockage of major shopping malls around the Ratchaprasong intersection . The clashes between Red Shirts and security forces caused the loss of lives , considerable damage to the national economy , and spread of terror amongst the population . The network holds the UDD alone liable for these devastating effects . The Multicolor Shirts ' agenda is to make the Red Shirt leaders accountable for the damages and crimes . Meanwhile , they supported the government of Abhisit Vejjajiva and the approach of the command of the armed forces that ordered its troops to crack down the protests . Unlike the UDD ( " Red Shirts " ) , and the People 's Alliance for Democracy ( PAD , or " Yellow Shirts " ) , the network 's adherents wear shirts in various colors . The network 's supporters , predominantly originating from the Bangkok middle-classes , customarily wave masses of tricolour Thai national flags
