[Asia Economy Reporter Han Seung-gon] On the 11th, Park Hyung-joon, co-chairman of the Future United Party's election countermeasures committee, stated on his Facebook post that the prospect of the pro-government camp securing 180 seats in the April 15 general election, as predicted by Yoo Si-min, chairman of the Roh Moo-hyun Foundation, means "the pro-Moon faction will completely take control of the country."

Park said, "If the pro-government camp secures 180 seats, they will protect Cho Kuk and drive out Yoon Seok-yeol," asking for the power to check this.

He added, "Since he is a key figure in the ruling party and Lee Geun-hyung, chairman of the Democratic Party's strategic planning committee, also talks about a single-party majority, it shows this is the ruling party's core analysis of the situation," and said, "The moment I saw this article, I did not agree with the prediction, but it was chilling. I imagined what would happen if this actually became reality."

He continued, "The drive to remove Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol will intensify, and investigations into various power-related corruption scandals will be covered up," forecasting the post-election political situation by saying, "As the Future United Party feared, the election will be about protecting Cho Kuk and ousting Yoon Seok-yeol. The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) will be established early, and the dance of power's sword will await."

He also said, "The failures in the past three years regarding the economy, diplomacy, security, and nuclear phase-out will not be corrected, and the rejection of pragmatism trapped in ideological frameworks will be repeated," adding, "Diplomacy will be used as a tool for domestic politics, and security holes will continue."

He further stated, "It will become difficult to do business and trade, and taxes will only increase. The world's best nuclear power industry will collapse, and the nuclear phase-out policy, which only increased Korea Electric Power Corporation's deficits, will not be changed," pointing out, "If the policy direction is not changed, the response to the COVID-19 economic crisis will be inadequate, and people's livelihoods will face an unprecedented crisis."

Park said, "Following judicial and prosecutorial control and local government monopolies, even parliamentary monopoly will be realized, and a democracy crisis will be right before our eyes," adding, "Through this nomination process, the Democratic Party has been thoroughly established as a pro-Moon hegemony party."

Earlier, on the 10th afternoon, Chairman Yoo said on the YouTube broadcast 'Alileo,' "Except for Daegu·Gyeongbuk and Busan·Ulsan·Gyeongnam, the Democratic Party of Korea will secure more seats in most regions," claiming, "Overall, the election trend is flowing toward a landslide victory for the Democratic Party."

He added, "Within the Democratic Party, they cautiously say they are striving for 130 seats plus alpha, but they speak conservatively because if they say they will secure too many seats, there is concern about losing support," emphasizing, "Including proportional representation seats, 180 seats for the progressive camp is not impossible."

Specifically, he analyzed, "The metropolitan area shows a clear Democratic Party advantage over Seoul. In the Chungcheong region, the Democratic Party will gain at least one more seat, and in Daegu·Gyeongbuk, it would be fortunate to secure even one seat." He also emphasized, "Busan is a region where you have to open the lid to know; I cannot predict, but it is not an election where the Democratic Party is overwhelmingly losing."
