Declaración de IDEA Internacional — El 7 de agosto de 2024, el Tribunal Constitucional de Tailandia decidió disolver el Partido Avanzar (MFP, por si siglas en inglés) y prohibió a sus ejecutivos, incluido el exlíder Pita Limjaroenrat, presentarse a elecciones, crear un nuevo partido político o participar en la formación de un nuevo partido durante 10 años. Esta decisión socava los principios democráticos y supone un grave revés para el desarrollo democrático en el Reino de Tailandia.

La reforma constitucional fue un tema central durante las reñidas elecciones de 2023, en las que una participación electoral sin precedentes demostró un fuerte apoyo a los partidos democráticos y progresistas.
Thailand’s constitution was made in 2017 by the military junta government. Although it was approved by referendum, the 2017 Constitution remains highly unpopular due to its origin. Constitutional reform was a central issue during the tightly contested 2023 elections, in which an unprecedented voter turnout demonstrated strong support for democratic and progressive parties. The same demand, of amending the 2017 Constitution, was repeated throughout the 2020-2021 mass protest movement.
