Former leader of the Move Forward Party Pita Limjaroenrat on the dissolution case against his party

epa11521024 Former leader of the Move Forward Party and former prime minister candidate Pita Limjaroenrat gestures during an interview ahead of the Constitutional Court's decision on the case that threatens the party's dissolution at Parliament in Bangkok, Thailand, 24 July 2024 (issued 03 August 2024). The Thai Constitutional Court will deliver its decision on 07 August 2024 regarding allegations that the Move Forward Party violated the constitution in an attempt to overthrow the monarchy by proposing to amend the lese majeste law during the party's 2023 election campaign. Pita argues during an interview with EFE that reforming the lese majeste law does not equate to destroying the monarchy and advocates for a principle of "proportionality of law", which currently imposes severe penalties for defaming the royal family.
