The accusations against the Future Forward Party link its upside-down triangle logo to the supposed symbol of the Illuminati, which many conspiracy theorists — without offering serious evidence — claim is a secret society pursuing world domination. But legal complaints quickly piled up against Future Forward and Thanathorn was stripped of his MP status by the Constitutional Court last month. A Future Forward spokesperson tweeted hashtags in Thai saying the party was not afraid and that it would not step back. The court also said it had accepted a separate case against Future Forward for alleged illegal loans from Thanathorn. In March, the Constitutional Court disbanded another party shortly before the election, ruling that its nomination of a Thai princess as prime minister was “hostile” to the constitutional monarchy.
