[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The United Future Party criticized the Democratic Party of Korea's participation in the proportional representation coalition party as a "political fraud of the century."


Jeon Hee-kyung, spokesperson for the United Future Party, stated in a commentary on the 6th, "There is a limit even to self-denial."


He pointed out, "This directly contradicts the Democratic Party's own words after the passage of the patchwork election law, which said 'electoral reform is the cornerstone of a political structure that fairly reflects the people's will' and 'the beginning of political reform to create a fair and just country.' Ultimately, it is an admission that the one-time patchwork election law passed through the illegal 1+4 council was actually a collusion to secure seats."


Spokesperson Jeon emphasized, "The Democratic Party's participation in the proportional representation coalition party is a comedy show staged by the main culprits of the political fraud of the century," and added, "The Democratic Party and the Justice Party should never mention political reform again."


He also noted, "The Justice Party, which criticized the Future Korea Party as 'fundamentally threatening parliamentary democracy,' is now quietly revealing its true colors by saying that coalition is possible," and "Independent lawmaker Son Hye-won is openly bargaining over seats, saying 'Shouldn't the Justice Party be guaranteed more than 11 seats?'"



Spokesperson Jeon criticized, "It is truly outrageous," and said, "Those who distorted the will of the people and obstructed party elections by filing complaints against Hwang Kyo-ahn, leader of the United Future Party, and Han Sun-kyo, leader of the Future Korea Party, are none other than the Democratic Party and the Justice Party. Do they have no sense of shame at all?"
