Thailand’s Move Forward Party (MFP), which secured a majority in this year’s elections but faced exclusion from government, expresses confidence in a court case examining its campaign promise to reform royal insult laws. The MFP’s commitment to revising strict lese-majeste laws unsettled the conservative senate, preventing its leader, Pita Limjaroenrat, from becoming Prime Minister. The Constitutional Court is now reviewing a petition claiming that the party’s pledge sought to undermine the constitutional monarchy. Pita Limjaroenrat provided testimony in the case, expressing optimism about the proceedings.
