[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] On the 20th, Kim Jintae, a member of the Future United Party, criticized the pro-ruling coalition proportional representation alliance party 'The Together Citizens Party' as "practically the Party to Protect Cho Kuk."

On the same day, Kim said on his Facebook, "I welcome the founding of the Party to Protect Cho Kuk," adding, "Choi Baekgeun, who said at Cho Kuk's retirement ceremony, 'You are the eternal Minister of Justice,' is the co-representative."

He continued, "The Democratic Party has decided to dedicate this election to Cho Kuk," and pointed out, "They are pushing out people like Geum Tae-seop, who opposed Cho Kuk, and are pushing through to the end."

He then concluded, "If they win the election, Cho Kuk will make a spectacular comeback. A self-proclaimed socialist could become the presidential candidate," adding, "We will have to see a face on TV every day that should be seen in prison. The choice is up to us."

Earlier, on the 18th, the Democratic Party chose 'For the Citizens,' a pro-Moon Jae-in and pro-Cho Kuk faction, as the proportional representation alliance party platform instead of the Political Reform Union, which included senior figures from civil society, and launched 'The Together Citizens Party' together with newly established non-parliamentary parties.

On the same day, Woo Heejong and Choi Baekgeun, co-representatives of 'For the Citizens,' held a press conference at the National Assembly Press Hall, stating, "We have signed a proportional representation alliance agreement with the Green Party, Basic Income Party, Transition Era Party, Peace and Human Rights Party, and the Democratic Party," and said, "These six parties will participate in the 21st general election party vote under 'one single slogan, one single number.'"
