CHIANG MAI: The Move Forward Party ( MFP ) is unfazed by the Election Commission’s (EC ) attempts to push for its dissolution and is ready to defend itself against any allegations, according to its former leader Pita Limjaroenrat.
Additionally, Mr. Pita argued that Mr. Pita’s visit to Chiang Mai was not intended as a social stunt, even though former top Thaksin Shinawatra and Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin are both visiting the northern province at the same time.
Mr. Pita stated when he arrived in the state on Saturday that the MFP’s legitimate group had been working on the party’s proposed update of Segment 112 of the Criminal Code. He claimed that the MFP is currently gathering data to challenge the situation.
The Supreme Court’s decision against former MP Pannika Wanich, who was expelled from politics permanently after the National Anti-Corruption Commission ( NACC ) found cause to the legal team, was also being studied by Mr. Pita.
For proposing a change to Section 112, 40 MFP MPs are also facing charges of grave moral misconduct. The NACC is looking into the scenario right now.
The MFP is eager to defend its event, according to Mr. Pita. He stated that he hopes the judge will prioritize the pursuit of justice over strict adherence to Section 49 of the Constitution. This forbids any deeds that threaten the democratic king.
” We have prepared for this ahead of time, so we are not worried if the court laws to break the MFP,” he said.
” Having won 14 million votes from our followers, the MFP will keep moving forward no matter what happens”.
The MFP was ordered to stop attempting to alter the Lese- Majoreste law on January 31 and that canvassing on the issue is viewed as an attempt to overthrow the democratic monarchy.
The group’s plan to update the imperial defamation law, according to the court, “had the intention to break the monarchy from the nation, which is a threat to the state’s security.”
The court claimed that Mr. Pita and the group attempted to alter or withdraw Part 112 when its 44 Members submitted their expenses on March 25, 2021.
The court claimed that the bill, which required the Bureau of the Royal Household to report lese-majeste issues, was intended to lower the rank of the imperial organization. In slander circumstances, the institution would be in direct opposition to the consumer.
The judges said that would violate the constitutional principle, which precludes political debate by putting the royal organization at the center of all social concerns.
Mr. Pita claimed that Mr. Pita’s journey to Chiang Mai was not the most pressing issue at the moment because he was perceived as him flexing his strength. ” Fast solving the dust cloud problem is”, he said.
