[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 17th, the Minsaeng Party criticized the Democratic Party of Korea, saying, “The Democratic Party’s inconsistent remarks regarding proportional representation parties are amplifying political distrust.”

Kim Jeong-hyun, spokesperson for the Minsaeng Party, stated in a commentary on the same day, “They said they would not create a proportional representation party, but then changed direction to establish one without a sincere apology. Furthermore, they have consistently held closed-door discussions about the nature and outline of the proportional representation party, making us question what the Democratic Party’s actual position is.”

Spokesperson Kim also pointed out, “Today, they showed incomprehensible behavior by giving contradictory explanations on the same platform regarding LGBTQ issues and other parties,” adding, “It is clear that the ruling party is stirring political confusion.”

Kim further said, “Just because the general election situation is turning serious does not mean you can thread a needle with a thread tied around its eye,” urging, “The Democratic Party should come to its senses.”

Earlier, Yoon Ho-jung, Secretary-General of the Democratic Party, said at a press briefing held at the National Assembly that regarding the participation of the Minjung Party, “We judge that it is difficult to form an alliance with parties that could cause unnecessary and exhausting debates on ideological issues or LGBTQ matters.”
