[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The New Conservative Party criticized Lee Hae-chan, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, for saying that the 6th confirmed case of the novel coronavirus (Wuhan pneumonia) was "fortunate because the person works at a public health center," calling it a discriminatory remark regarding citizens' lives.

On the 31st, Kwon Seong-ju, spokesperson for the New Conservative Party, stated in a commentary, "It is certain that Leader Lee is a Democratic Party X-man."

He said, "Following a series of derogatory remarks about people with disabilities and a disastrous talent recruitment, which reinforced the Democratic Party's image as a Me Too party and a specialist in emotional manipulation, now Leader Lee has made a baseless fake news statement that the 6th confirmed case of the novel coronavirus is 'fortunate because the person works at a public health center,' thereby making discriminatory remarks about citizens' lives. Even within the party, they do not know the source of the fake news about the 'public health center worker' and have had to explain it as a misunderstanding," he criticized.

Spokesperson Kwon added, "No matter how much the opposition party wants to lower the ruling party's approval ratings before the election, it is more concerning than welcome that the X-man leader is in a state where he can conduct normal political activities. The Democratic Party should promptly apologize for Leader Lee Hae-chan's discriminatory remarks about citizens' lives and seriously consider the position of the leader who continuously provokes public anger with reckless remarks."
