Korean Party: "Democratic Party Falsely Incites on Homepage at the Expense of People's Lives"
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The Liberty Korea Party has sharply criticized the Democratic Party of Korea's response to the novel coronavirus (Wuhan pneumonia).
Lee Chang-soo, spokesperson for the Liberty Korea Party, stated in a commentary on the 3rd, "Despite the Wuhan pneumonia situation escalating uncontrollably due to the ruling party and government's kowtowing to China, delayed responses, and incompetence, the Democratic Party continues to persist with false propaganda."
Lee pointed out, "Currently, on the Democratic Party's homepage, a popup boldly states, 'The Liberty Korea Party is demanding entry bans that no country in the world has implemented and that even the World Health Organization has expressed concern about, only using the public's anxiety for political strife.' Meanwhile, over 70 countries have imposed restrictions such as strengthened quarantine procedures for Chinese nationals, and 17 countries including the United States and Australia have already implemented entry restrictions on Chinese nationals and foreigners who have visited China."
He added, "Nevertheless, the Democratic Party distorts facts and targets the legitimate policy advice of the main opposition party for attack. Does the Democratic Party not see the determination of other countries to take any measures necessary to protect their citizens' safety? Do they not hear the voices of the 'Petition to Ban Entry of Chinese Nationals,' which has already surpassed 600,000 signatures?"

Lee further criticized, "The administration, which even filed an unprecedented complaint with the Human Rights Commission over a petition concerning the rights violations of Cho Kuk's family, seems to distort facts and reject the idea of a 'ban on Chinese entry' whenever it arises. I hope they stop misleading the public and using false information posted openly on their homepage for political strife."
