On August 7, 2024, Thailand's Constitutional Court is set to give a definitive judgement on the request of the Election Commission to disband the Move Forward Party (MFP). This follows a complaint made by Thirayuth Suwankaesoorn against the MFP's campaigning to change Section 112 of the Penal Code.

 

Previously, Pita Limjaroenrat, a parliament member and senior advisor of the MFP, asked ambassadors from 18 countries to monitor the case and its verdict. These events will take place tomorrow, August 7, 2024.

 

Today, August 6, 2024, national Thai media discussed the issue with Wissanu Krea-ngam, an advisor to the Prime Minister. In the interview, Wissanu said it is a regular practice for diplomats to form relationships and collect information. He said their engagement does not equate to meddling in domestic matters.

 

Wissanu has been asked to participate in talks with foreign diplomats, even after resigning from his position. He stressed that such meetings are ordinary and informal.

 

When asked if it was the government's job to make issues clear to diplomats, Wissanu said that while it's considered a minor diplomatic duty, it is standard practice for diplomats to receive news and develop relationships in various ways.

 

Concerning the apprehensions that disbanding the MFP might tarnish Thailand's reputation, particularly its legal system and democracy, Wissanu played down any significant effects. He stated it would only pertain to the specific situation of Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, reported The Pattaya News.

Section 112 amendment was never a tool for MFP to bring down the monarchy, but only to make things clear so that it could not be abused for protestors and people against Government. But because the army feels a threat they have brought false information into the country that MFP  was the culprit. Dissolution is totally unacceptable as there is and was nothing done yet. Laws were not made or even brought into the parliament. So nothing happened. It is just a power play of the army to show who really is charge in the country. 

Government is lucky that Thai people are generally ambivalent or gutless to stand up against such conduct. 

There are two big joke stories today but this is the biggest. 
The third big joke is the Thai court system.

I don’t say they are gutless, they are simply wary of the fact that the response from those they are protesting against will be deadly and brutal.

Lets see if the CC is going to do as the EC have asked or if it will back-track this time,

Thus there will never be real changes......a passive culture indeed.

If the CC finds against MFP, it finds against a constitutional monarchy wherein sovereignty of the nation BELONGS  to the Thai People. At least the sham would end.

They will never be dissolved.. they are all WEF protégés .. graduates n disciples from globalist training schools🤣🤣🤣

And Yet again Thailand's Ruling Elite cement in Autocracy guaranteeing that Thailand can never mover out of the 19th Century .

They are an inspiration to Countries like Russia and North Korea on veneering Democracy. Sad again and again.

Re; "Thirayuth Suwankaesoorn" ............................cannot find a photo online of this person. I guess he is just a very private person.

Really? there's hardly a spot on Thailand’s reputation that isn't tarnished. all the secrets are out and the kingdom is oblivious... ignorance is bliss

I agree. However, at present you see how it could be...in Bangladesh. 

Or Burma. Nobody wants this to happen in Thailand.

The last para suddenly switched to talking about Settha’s case which the old charlatan Wissanu reportedly claimed would not attract any international interest (if he is binned by the constitutional court). It would of course be poetic justice, if a PM who was propelled to power as the nominee of a convicted criminal when the people voted for someone else were to be sacked by the court, but I think it would generate at least a smidgeon on international interest.

It really is time for change the Thai people all voted for this guy and for the first time in history he won fair and square and the criminals in charge are scared that once change happens then there money machine will dry up

Of course it would tarnish Thailand's holy reputation ( . uck them all ) .

As if Thailand's reputation in the world would be sooo great ... no , it is not .

Showing the world that Thailand is a real democracy would be better for the reputation , instead of continuously implementing autocratic measures .

Let's bet ...

Will they dissolve MFP ?

I say ... no .

Will Pita be banned from politics ?

I say ... no again ...

but I'm too optimistic ...

thai democrazy at work... let's not change a thing and dissolve opponents... how do we call that?

Just another example to remind people that they live in an autocratic state that doesnt care about the will of the people,and only cares about keeping the the dictatorship at the top of the pile

Wondering about if any other "democracies" have the power to ban a political party.... too lazy to research, but I assume Germany banned the Nazi part....

I'm an old yank, but when I was a kid teachers would like to point out that USA allowed Communist Party to exist and their perennial candidate for president Gus Hall...

People are fed-up with the double standard rules and it will leading many to question the value of participating in future elections.

Remove the threat by any means possible, how embarrassing they think no one realises how the Thai system works and the sheer level of corruption that exists,  gone on for to long, too many high up at every level to ever change its never about what the people want or anything that will benefit its people or country its about complete control and lining the pockets, and you have resigned from a position it is ridiculous you still sit in on diplomatic meetings, amazing Thailand. The MFP was the 1 little hope that change would come but they fixed that

In other words: the government and its tools are allowed to tarnish Thailand, while Pattaya's bouncers are not.

The court system here is kind of like the court system in Russia. It’s already been decided before the trial starts. I liked how they elected a Prime Minister and then for whatever reason they didn’t respect the peoples vote and they put this phony baloney guy in there. that’s just a big puppet. 
it’s all just a joke TIT

     Whatever happens with the ruling, they can't dissolve a movement.  A political party?  Yes.  But not the movement driving the popularity of the party.  They can play Whack-A-Mole all they want but will keep failing.  The movement will continue, just in a different name for the next iteration of the party moving Thailand forward.

That translates as gutless to me. Many revolutions have resulted in bloodshed to achieve the greater goal. They hear one gun shot they run to nearest 7/11. 

absolute DISGRACE no democracy here and its now occuring in the UK
