UK response to the dissolution of the Move Forward Party
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has responded to the dissolution of the main opposition party in Thailand.
In response to the Thai Constitutional Court’s decision to dissolve the Move Forward Party, an FCDO spokesperson said:
Pluralism and freedom of speech are central principles of democracy. The dissolution of another major political party in Thailand is therefore a setback for these principles. We encourage all parties to uphold democratic rights and representation.
