Possible Move Forward dissolution worries Thai senatorsThai senator Nantana NantavaropasA group of senators has voiced concerns about the potential dissolution of the main opposition Move Forward Party (MFP), saying Thailand’s democracy may take a step backwards. Sen Nantana Nantavaropas, a leading member of the so-called New Breed group, said on Monday that concern exists not only among the Thai public but also within the international community. According to Ms Nantana, their point of contention is that a public agency should not have the power to disband a political party and shape the country’s political landscape. Meanwhile, Democrat member Rachada Dhnadirek warned diplomats from 18 countries, who recently met with MFP members that their comments regarding the MFP dissolution case could be seen as interference in the country’s judicial process. She also said the Foreign Ministry should take action to protect the country’s judicial process.
