Democratic Party Gwangju Branch: "Future United Party, Wake Up as a Party Specializing in Abusive Language" View original image

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Democratic Party Gwangju Metropolitan City Election Countermeasures Committee stated, "The party specializing in abusive language, the United Future Party, must wake up."


Shin Sujeong, spokesperson for the Democratic Party Gwangju City Party, said in a statement on the 10th, "The relay of outrageous remarks that continued from the Saenuri Party and Liberty Korea Party eras has not stopped even after becoming the United Future Party," and added, "The public is aghast at the abusive language that goes beyond the outrageous remarks of candidates belonging to the United Future Party."


She continued, "Kim Daeho, former United Future Party candidate for Gwanak-gap, made the outrageous remark that 'everyone becomes disabled as they age,' and Cha Myungjin, United Future Party candidate for Gyeonggi Bucheon-byeong, made an unspeakable remark about the Sewol ferry incident."


She also stated, "Joo Dongsik, United Future Party candidate for Gwangju Seo-gu-gap, made the outrageous remark that 'Gwangju is a city obsessed only with ancestral rites,' and Lee Geunyeol, former United Future Party candidate for Jeonbuk Gunsan, printed campaign materials promising the establishment of a 'Chinese red-light district.'"


Spokesperson Shin emphasized, "At this point, one might suspect that the United Future Party's candidate selection criteria include 'how well one can make outrageous remarks,'" and added, "The outrageous remarks of the United Future Party hurt the people."


She went on, "Cha Myungjin, who publicly declared that Kim Jongin, the emergency committee chairman, would be expelled, received only a light punishment of 'recommendation to leave the party,' and there has been no disciplinary discussion regarding candidates Joo Dongsik and Lee Geunyeol," adding, "This resembles the disciplinary process for Kim Jintae, Kim Sunrye, and Lee Jongmyung, who made outrageous remarks about the May 18 Democratic Uprising while in the Liberty Korea Party."



She concluded, "The solemn judgment of the great people who overthrew the forces that manipulated state affairs is directed at the United Future Party," and added, "Instead of setting the stage and begging 'Please help us just once,' I hope they reflect again and again to wash away the stigma of being a 'party specializing in abusive language.'"
