[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] On the 13th, the Democratic Party of Korea stated that the Central Election Commission's refusal to allow the new party to use the name "Proportional Representation" is "a natural result," and urged the Liberty Korea Party to "stop the trick politics that distort public opinion."

Hong Ik-pyo, the chief spokesperson for the Democratic Party, said in a briefing that "the Central Election Commission's decision is a natural outcome according to the Political Parties Act. The Liberty Korea Party should withdraw its plan to establish the satellite party 'Proportional Liberty Korea Party,' which deceives and distorts the people's choice and regresses democracy, and return to fair politics where voters choose based on policies and candidates."

He added, "The Democratic Party of Korea will do its best to ensure that voters' political intentions are properly reflected in the formation of the National Assembly, and that election reforms aimed at establishing an electoral system that represents the diverse lives of the people with dignity are realized in line with the original intent and purpose of election reform."
