[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Son Hak-kyu, former leader of the Bareunmirae Party and member of the Minsaengdang, filed an injunction to suspend the effect of the party registration of the Future Korea Party, a satellite party for proportional representation of the United Future Party, on the 2nd.

Kang Shin-up, spokesperson for Minsaengdang, said in a written briefing on the same day, "Former leader Son submitted the 'Future Korea Party Suspension of Effect Injunction Application' to the Constitutional Court through his legal representative."

Spokesperson Kang stated, "We will continue to examine the unconstitutionality of satellite proportional representation parties such as the People's Party and the Democratic Party of Korea, which claim to be proportional parties, and take all measures prescribed by law to suspend or dissolve unconstitutional parties, including filing petitions to the Constitutional Court and urging the government to request dissolution trials for unconstitutional parties."

Spokesperson Kang added, "Satellite proportional representation parties not only directly contradict the ideals of representative democracy and popular sovereignty but also shake the foundation of party politics. It is in accordance with the principles of democracy and justice to dissolve such parties before and after the general election and to cause their affiliated members to lose their seats in the National Assembly."
