[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jong-hyo] Yoo Jeong-gi, former regional chairman of the Bareunmirae Party in Busan Nam-gu Eul, declared his entry into the United Future Party and officially announced his support for Representative Lee Eon-ju.

Former Chairman Yoo held a press conference on the morning of the 18th at the Busan City Party Office of the United Future Party, criticizing the current government by saying, "Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the daily lives of the people have collapsed, the economy has plummeted, and the entire country is facing a serious crisis. However, the ruling party, the Democratic Party of Korea, is obsessed only with winning the general election, completely ignoring the principles and intent of the mixed-member proportional representation system they created, and is busy creating satellite parties."

He continued, "The third party that aimed for centrist politics is once again heading toward division with the departure of Representative Ahn Cheol-soo and the merger of Honam region lawmakers to form the Minsheng Party," and explained his reason for leaving by stating, "I believe that with divided politics, the people's demand to judge the current government and ruling party can never be fulfilled."

Former Chairman Yoo declared, "I raise the flag of centrist-conservative unity high and declare my entry into the United Future Party, which is working to judge the Moon Jae-in government and overcome the national crisis," and appealed for support for Representative Lee by saying, "I pledge to definitely win by assisting Representative Lee, who is leading the charge to judge the ruling party in Busan Nam-gu Eul."

Representative Lee Eon-ju responded, "This election is one where we must definitely judge the fake progressives who falsely claim to be progressive and the group that has destroyed basic common sense and conscience," adding, "I came to Busan with the thought that we must recapture Busan, the stronghold of the Democratic Party and pro-Moon Jae-in forces. I will definitely win and repay your support."
