[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon strongly criticized the Democratic Party of Korea, saying, "Regardless of the election results, the Democratic Party is finished."


On the 10th, Jin posted on his Facebook, "The painstakingly built tower by Presidents Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun was destroyed by the Moon Jae-in administration. What remains is only a greedy interest group centered around pro-Moon factions," he said.


He continued, "In the past, whether conservative or progressive, people knew to feel ashamed when they were wrong, but these people do bad things and feel no shame. Instead, they create an alternative reality where crime is accepted as justice through all kinds of lies, fabrication, and distortion," he argued.


He said, "The definition of justice and common sense was already thrown away during the Cho Kuk incident. They have made injustice and falsehood into a new political ethic," adding, "Is there anything left that they haven't done that Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye did?"


Jin said, "I don't know what kind of 'reform' they plan to do next. It's fine if only they become corrupt, but through the campaign to defend Cho Kuk, they have thrown society into a 'moral panic.' We no longer know what is right or wrong," he pointed out.


He also criticized, "In the past, Saenuri Party supporters chanted 'Even if the country is sold out, number 1,' and now Democratic Party supporters chant 'Even if Daegu dies, Moon Jae-in.' Suddenly, there are two 'sukkol' parties," referring to hardline conservatives.


He said, "The offensive against the Justice Party will intensify. Some crossover voters and those disappointed with the Democratic Party may cast their votes for other parties. If those votes happen to go to the Justice Party, they will be heavily attacked," he emphasized.



He added, "If the Justice Party overcomes external attacks and internal pressure and maintains progressive principles, even if they do not gain as many seats as desired in the election, they will achieve a strategic victory in the long term?except for the Democratic Party," he concluded.
