[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Lee Hyung-seok, a preliminary candidate of the Democratic Party for the National Assembly election in Buk-gu (Eul), Gwangju Metropolitan City, announced in a press release on the 15th that "the refusal to allow the use of the name Proportional Liberty Korea Party is a natural outcome."


The preliminary candidate stated, "The Central Election Commission's decision to disallow the use of the name 'Proportional Liberty Korea Party,' a satellite party of the Liberty Korea Party aimed at nullifying the semi-proportional representation system processed through the fast-track procedure on the 13th, is truly the right choice."


He continued, "Regarding the Central Election Commission's refusal decision, Liberty Korea Party Floor Leader Shim Jae-cheol said, 'The Central Election Commission has also succumbed to power as this administration, including Democratic Party leader Lee Hae-chan, pressured them,' and is threatening legal action."



He then emphasized, "The Liberty Korea Party should withdraw its undemocratic trick satellite party and show the image of a legitimate party that can fairly receive the voters' choice."
