Move Forward given further extension to submit defence in dissolution case

13 Sept 23:57 Key points summarised by AI

The Constitutional Court granted the Move Forward party a final 15-day extension, until June 2nd, to submit its defence against the Election Commission’s petition to dissolve the party and ban its executives for 10 years.
This extension follows a previous court ruling that found Move Forward guilty of attempting to overthrow the constitutional monarchy through its proposed amendment to the lèse majesté law (Section 112), though dissolution was not ordered at that time.
