[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Yoo Seong-yeop, Chairman of the Alternative New Party's Integration Promotion Committee, criticized former lawmaker Ahn Cheol-soo's demand to become the emergency committee chairman of the Bareunmirae Party on the 28th, saying, "I think this in itself is a very wrong act that goes against the great integration of the third force."

At the joint meeting of supreme council members and lawmakers held at the National Assembly Members' Office Building that day, Chairman Yoo said, "Former lawmaker Ahn's claim that 'Son Hak-gyu, the Bareunmirae Party leader, should step down and I will take over as emergency committee chairman' is very regrettable when viewed in the process of drawing the big picture."

Chairman Yoo emphasized, "Former lawmaker Ahn returned to the country, visited Honam, and through the media said, 'I apologize for past divisions and deeply feel responsible,' but the apology and feeling of responsibility were only words," adding, "True apology and genuine responsibility are shown through decisions and actions."

Chairman Yoo said, "It is truly absurd that someone who says they will apologize and take responsibility wants to take charge as emergency committee chairman and rebuild the party," and "I repeatedly request that he apologize now and ultimately show a proper sense of responsibility."
