When Thailand’s election committee requested the MFP’s dissolution in March, Pita’s political career was hampered by the government’s best court.
Following a previous decision by the judge, the party’s commitment to reform the imperial lese-majeste law sounded like an attempt to overthrow the democratic king.
According to Human Rights Watch, the laws were intended to stifle social dissention.
Pita, however, has warned against the weaponisation of Thailand’s criminal system.
He claimed that “four key ones that were frequently elected” have been disbanded in Thailand over the past two years.
The problem is more with the pattern of weaponizing the judiciary and separate bodies, according to Pita, than with what we will do if we are disbanded. This is already taken care of and our ideas will succeed.
” I sincerely hope that the Thai people do n’t view the party’s dissolution as a standard tactic employed by the Thai elite.”
We should n’t tolerate this behavior or use politized courts as a means of annihilating political parties.
Pita said the executive of the MFP, which has 148 votes in Thailand’s 500-seat Parliament, may form a new car if the party is dissolved.
