Pheu Thai in social media storm after parting ways with Move Forward
Pheu Thai's decision to break its Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Move Forward party has triggered a massive social media backlash in Thailand.
Popular hashtags like #เพื่อไทยการละคร (Pheu Thai the theatre) reflect widespread public dissatisfaction and accusations of political opportunism.
Critics, including former Future Forward members, assert that Pheu Thai abandoned Move Forward without seeking policy compromise, prioritizing government formation over their initial alliance.
Move Forward supporters and activists now identify Pheu Thai as an additional adversary, escalating political tensions following the split.
