[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Sohn Hak-kyu, Standing Election Committee Chairman of the Minsaeng Party, stated on the 13th regarding satellite parties for proportional representation, “We must block the emergence of satellite parties of the two major parties. We must uphold the spirit of our constitution and protect parliamentary democracy,” and added, “We will file a constitutional complaint against the Democratic Citizens Party and the Future Korea Party, as well as a provisional injunction to suspend their party registration, with the court.”

At the Central Election Committee meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Chairman Sohn said, “If the Constitutional Court recognizes the unconstitutionality of satellite parties, the Democratic Citizens Party and the Future Korea Party cannot avoid party dissolution trials,” and appealed, “Votes cast for satellite parties will instantly become wasted votes. Keeping this in mind, I urge you to vote for the Minsaeng Party, number 3, excluding satellite parties.”

He pointed out, “With the election just two days away, the arrogance and hypocrisy of the two major parties are being revealed everywhere,” and criticized, “Some within the ruling party have already claimed to have secured 180 seats, and Kim Jong-in, the Future United Party’s General Election Committee Chairman, said he is confident of a majority. These are all baseless rumors and nonsense.”

He continued, “Under the mixed-member proportional representation system, a two-party system cannot be maintained. That is why this system was created,” and added, “A multi-party system is an inevitable trend. The two major parties should wait humbly for the people’s choice.”

Chairman Sohn said, “The arrogant behavior of the two major parties that look down on the people must ultimately be changed through voting. If you choose numbers 1 or 2, you will be giving them a pardon for their arrogance,” and appealed, “To check the two major parties, the third party must have strength. I urge you to bring about a ‘Green Centrist Revolution’ on April 15.”
