[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former Bareunmirae Party lawmaker Ahn Cheol-soo criticized the Moon Jae-in administration on the 31st, saying, "They are spending taxes like their own money to support their allies while passing debt onto future generations," and called it "the first shameless regime in the history of the Republic of Korea to exploit descendants."

At a meeting titled "Ahn Cheol-soo Discusses the Injustices of the Era" held at the National Assembly Members' Office Building that day, Ahn said, "The current government is caught up in factionalism, claiming that rule-breaking by their own side is not rule-breaking, and illegal acts by their own side are not illegal," adding, "In short, this is an unprecedented irrationality."

Ahn emphasized, "We must break down principles-less, unreasonable, unfair, and fake democracy together with the younger generation for the future of our country."

In response to the question, "How are you different from the past Ahn Cheol-soo?" he said, "Many thoughts come to mind, but in one word, I have become much more earnest," and added, "Even if I disappear forever, I believe it is my duty to follow the path I believe is right."

Ahn stated, "I thought that political difficulties or challenges that arise from coming out now are meaningless," and stressed, "Rather, at times like this, it is most important to sincerely convey and appeal the direction our country should properly take."

Regarding the criticism that "centrists are indecisive," Ahn rebutted, "That is image manipulation aimed at marginalizing and minimizing those who reject the established political order, and it is exactly the logic of vested political interests."

Ahn mentioned French President Emmanuel Macron, saying, "He gathers both progressives and conservatives to create policies. The only concern is how to come up with the best solutions, and pragmatic centrism is politics that works."
