Thailand's Constitutional Court to Decide Fate of Progressive Move Forward Party

Former chief Pita Limjaroenrat urges supporters to stay hopeful as the party faces potential dissolution over proposed royal defamation law reforms.

The Move Forward Party may be dissolved by Thailand's Constitutional Court for proposing changes to the lese majeste law.
Former leader Pita Limjaroenrat remains optimistic, encouraging supporters to continue fighting for full democracy.
The party's predecessor, Future Forward, was dissolved in 2020 under similar circumstances.
Move Forward won the most seats in the 2023 election but was blocked from taking power by the military-installed Senate.
Critics view the legal action as part of a broader effort by conservative forces to suppress progressive movements.
