[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 17th, the People’s Party criticized the Democratic Party of Korea and the Minsheng Party, saying, “The Democratic Party promised the public that they would not create a satellite party for proportional representation because they consider themselves virtuous, but now they are creating satellite parties, betraying themselves and the people,” and “The Minsheng Party may split again internally over whether to participate in a satellite party for proportional representation, turning their backs on each other and betraying one another.”

On the same day, Ju Isaak, deputy spokesperson of the People’s Party, said in a statement, “In recent days, the political world has been suffering from controversies over satellite parties, causing our people to frown upon seeing this situation.”

Ju also pointed out toward the United Future Party, “The United Future Party claimed that the Future Korea Party was not a satellite party, but now they are in chaos, calling it a betrayal, rebellion, and coup because even their recruited talents were excluded from the proportional representation list.”

Ju added, “Ignoring the people’s concerns and only looking out for their own positions, is this the trend of politics betraying the people?” and “The vested interest parties must remember that the people are waiting for the general election, holding a whip to purge the entrenched political powers that have become as ugly as they can be.”
