Government Center, Orange cheerleaders gather at the Constitutional Court, holding signs to support 'Move Forward', emphasizing that they have no connection with the party, asking the Election Commission not to overlook 14 million votes. At the Constitutional Court office, Ms. Laksika Tangchotthanavich traveled to support the Move Forward Party by holding signs that said, 'Oppose the dissolution of the Move Forward Party' and 'Support the Move Forward Party.' She also stated that she came here on her own today, no one hired her. If you remember, she came every time there was a Move Forward Party case to express the rights and freedoms of the 14 million votes. She believes that if Thailand does not have good governance or the rule of law, how will we answer to our children? Why is the country like this? From the documents that we have seen, we do not understand how the Move Forward Party's actions constitute overthrowing the government. 'We are not related to or influenced by the Move Forward Party. We are just citizens who pay 500,000 baht in taxes per year and do not receive a single baht in return. Therefore, we have 100% right to express that the EC has ignored the voices of the people in the election.' As for how to draw the line between expression and pressure, Ms. Laksika said that the two issues must be separated. She has the right to express herself anywhere, at the courthouse or on the moon. Pressure means using force to threaten to do what she wants. But today, just holding a sign to express her thoughts is just expression. The meaning must be clearly separated. We also have to look at the court's decision to see if it is reasonable and clear to the public. Source: Thai News Agency
