Pita: Court backed him over shareholdingAttention will once again be on a Constitutional Court ruling on Move Forward Party (MFP) affairs when on Wednesday the court passes judgement on whether the party's efforts to amend the lese majeste law are constitutional. He said the petitioner only asked the court to stop any action deemed as an attempt to overthrow the constitutional monarchy, not dissolve the party. Mr Parit also said that if the court rules against the MFP, the party already has a contingency plan in place to deal with any unfavourable ruling. According to observers, Mr Theerayut's petition was based on a Constitutional Court ruling delivered on Nov 10, 2021. The court ruled that the actions of three protest leaders at a rally at Thammasat University in August 2020 were an attempt to overthrow the constitutional monarchy.
