[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 21st, the Alternative New Party criticized former Bareunmirae Party lawmaker Ahn Cheol-soo, saying, "The adage that politics is about words does not mean that vague words mixed with exaggeration and fantasy are part of politics," adding, "If this goes too far, the public becomes weary."

Jang Jeong-sook, chief spokesperson of the Alternative New Party, stated in a commentary that day, "Former lawmaker Ahn seems to have decided to only say 'reasonable words' that won't be criticized, both then and now, but he should also keep in mind that the public's expectations are very different from before."

She pointed out, "Many critics are belittling 'pragmatic centrist politics,' saying they do not understand what it means. This is natural," adding, "What is pragmatic, and what is centrist? The debate is just beginning, but former lawmaker Ahn rather shuts his mouth at this point."

She continued, "Declaring that my thoughts and imagination are pragmatism and centrism is narcissism, and it seems more dangerous than honestly advocating and fighting for a specific ideology with an attitude of dividing people at will."

Regarding Ahn's statement that "line and direction are the most important" in relation to the third zone integration, Chief Spokesperson Jang said, "It is like answering that 'my line and direction' cannot be explained, and even if it is clear, it is not considered good, but anyway, that is the most important," criticizing, "It is just a repetition of Ahn Cheol-soo's absurd rhetoric from the past, who told reporters asking what new politics is to ask the public."

Chief Spokesperson Jang said, "The political entry of Hwang Kyo-ahn, leader of the Liberty Korea Party, is degrading Korean conservative politics to the level of a cult, and the reappearance of former lawmaker Ahn, who only desires unplanned factionalization, is causing a needless and fruitless commotion, making the already difficult situation of the country even harder."
