[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] On the 28th, Lee Eonju, leader of Miraereul Wihan Jeonjin 4.0 (Jeonjin Party), criticized the Liberty Korea Party, which is pushing for conservative unification, saying, "The existing forces that have caused the division and conflict of the right wing, including impeachment, and the downfall of conservatism must be largely replaced by new political forces."


In a post on her Facebook on the same day, Lee said, "It is not too late even now. I and the Jeonjin Party demand this from the Korea Party."


She continued, "The people, who had been suffering from the well-being first opposition party and the secondary Bareunmirae Party, expected a new political force with fighting power and dedication to emerge in this general election, but after seeing the newly formed candidate screening committee (in the Korea Party), they seem to have fallen into despair with dashed hopes."


Lee then demanded five things from the Korea Party: △ promoting anti-Moon unification centered on fighting forces △ unified party candidate screening committee △ awarding additional points for candidate screening based on anti-Moon fighting experience △ generational replacement candidate screening △ political force replacement candidate screening.


She also emphasized, "A new party led by Pastor Jeon Gwang-hoon (Korea Christian Federation) and the Gwanghwamun fighting forces including former Gyeonggi Governor Kim Moon-soo is becoming visible," adding, "For a long time, the Jeonjin Party has insisted that patriotic forces and Gwanghwamun fighting forces, who have devoted themselves in the formation of the Innovation Integration Promotion Committee (Tongchuwi) while others remained silent, should not be excluded."


Lee further stated, "The current situation of the opposition is becoming very serious. Elections require winning the hearts of the people and rallying supporters, but core supporters are getting hurt and leaving," and added, "Some people scold me, asking 'What are you doing in the Tongchuwi?' It is like losing the home rabbit while trying to catch a mountain rabbit."



She said, "How wrong is a forced political engineering unification without chemical bonding? Haven't we seen enough from the example of the Bareunmirae Party how important the order and direction of unification are?" She added, "If this continues, the Tongchuwi will degenerate into a re-entry committee, and the unified new party will become the Bareunmirae Party. Amid the bottom-up curses and criticisms, the Jeonjin Party, which expected generational change and a strong, clear unified opposition party, now has to reconsider the destination of this unification train."
