snoop1130 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 BANGKOK, April 3 (TNA) – The Constitutional Court has accepted a petition by the Election Commission (EC) asking the court to consider dissolving the main opposition Move Forward Party (MFP). The petition alleged that the MFP’s efforts to change Section 112 of the Criminal Code or the lese majeste law showed an intention to undermine the constitutional monarchy, which violates Section 92 of the organic law on political parties. The petition also requested the withdrawal of the party’s executives’ right to run for election for a period of 10 years.

Popular Post dinsdale Posted April 3 Popular Post Share Posted April 3 (edited) Court Accepts Petition, Seeking MFP Dissolution Prayut's Junta's Court Accepts Petition, Seeking MFP Dissolution No suprise here as with the already concluded outcome. The military/elite will not give up their wealth, corruption and power. If you do not support the military/elite you are not allowed to take govt. Srettha and Thaksin are well in the firing line. IMHO I think another coup is in the making. Edited April 3 by dinsdale 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ikke1959 Posted April 3 Popular Post Share Posted April 3 Silly country.... the party that won the election faces a dissolution, for fake reasons... They are not aware that it bring more instability for the current government and the economy... Thailand is already staying behind in grow on every stage a new coup that will bring more problems as the people don't accept it anymore... Thailand must enter the 21st century and with the current dinosaurs, double standards as for Thaksin and dissolute parties because they are a threat for the currents ones it will be difficult, unless the people rise 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andycoops Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 They just can't accept the will of the people or accept that they got trounced at the polls so any jumped up allegations are the only way they can get at them. A very sad indictment of the low level of democracy these people have. Instead of running the country and looking forward in the national interest they can only look back and seek revenge for their own incompetence, abit like Trump. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, why haven't they been charged? Seems like this will be difficult to prove. But the legal system here is fungible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrwest Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) I recognize this is an issue for Thai citizens, but my best advice as a friend of Thailand is that this political move against the majority party and for the stated reason brings more embarrassing discredit to a country claiming to be a democracy. The law in question does need guardrails to stop it from being misused politically to silence critics. Edited April 4 by Wrwest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
