[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] The Justice Party announced on the 24th that it has filed a constitutional complaint to invalidate the party registration of the Future Korea Party, a satellite party of the United Future Party.

The Justice Party stated, "The people’s constitutional right to vote under Article 24 has been infringed by the satellite party, the Future Korea Party, which is essentially an illegal organization. Additionally, their right to equality has been violated, and the institutional guarantee of political parties under Article 8 of the Constitution has also been infringed, which is the basis for filing this constitutional complaint."

They further argued, "The Future Korea Party, a proportional representation party, is an illegal organization whose very purpose violates the Political Parties Act and the spirit of the Constitution. Allowing such an illegal organization to appear on the ballot alongside other parties and receive state subsidies under the Political Funds Act itself violates the fundamental constitutional principle of institutional guarantees for political parties. Treating this illegal organization equally with the Justice Party and other parties violates the constitutional right to equality, which mandates 'equal treatment for equals and different treatment for unequals.'"

They also viewed that individual voting rights are being infringed. The Justice Party claimed, "Individual voting rights are guaranteed through democratic elections and the party system. However, the illegal organization called the Future Korea Party not only infringes on the people's voting rights but also undermines party democracy itself, thereby naturally violating institutional guarantees and the right to equality."

They added, "We demand the invalidation of the registration or disqualification under administrative law. If illegal acts under the Political Funds Act, Election Act, or Political Parties Act are revealed, the Justice Party will thoroughly investigate and pursue these illegal acts to dismantle the illegal organization known as the Future Korea Party."
