[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 13th, the Minsaeng Party submitted a constitutional complaint and an injunction request to suspend the effect of party registration against the satellite parties for proportional representation of the Democratic Party of Korea and the United Future Party.

Son Hak-gyu, Standing Election Committee Chairman, said at the Central Election Committee meeting held at the National Assembly on the same day, “We must block the emergence of the giant two parties' proportional satellite parties. We must uphold our constitutional spirit and protect parliamentary democracy,” and added, “We are submitting a constitutional complaint and an injunction request to suspend the effect of party registration against the Deobureo Citizen Party and the Mirae Korea Party to the court.”

Chairman Son said, “If the Constitutional Court recognizes the unconstitutionality of the satellite parties, the Deobureo Citizen Party and the Mirae Korea Party cannot avoid party dissolution trials,” and “The votes of the citizens who voted for the satellite parties will instantly become wasted votes. Keeping this in mind, I appeal to vote for number 3, the Minsaeng Party, excluding the satellite parties.”

Jang Jeong-sook, Co-Chair of the Election Committee, said, “No one would consider the United Future Party and the Mirae Korea Party as separate parties. The same goes for the Democratic Party of Korea and the Deobureo Citizen Party,” and criticized, “You can tell at a glance just by looking at the nomination process. However, the National Election Commission issued registration certificates to them simply because they had the necessary documents for party establishment.”

Chairwoman Jang added, “Considering the purpose of the Political Parties Act emphasizing party independence, this is unacceptable,” and said, “I believe the Constitutional Court’s judgment will differ from that of the National Election Commission. I expect a comprehensive legal interpretation to reveal the illegality of these satellite parties. If that happens, the existence of the first and second parties will become impossible.”

Kim Jeong-hwa, Co-Chair of the Election Committee, appealed, “Fellow citizens in the moderate middle who dislike both the ruling and opposition parties must unite their strength behind number 3 to make ‘real politics’ possible,” and said, “Numbers 1, 2, the trick satellite parties, and pseudo-moderate parties are all fake. Please choose number 3 for the local constituency and the top slot of the proportional representation for the Minsaeng Party.”

Chairwoman Kim said, “The Minsaeng Party is the only party that has upheld the principles of political reform,” and promised, “We will go beyond ideology and commit to politics solely for the people’s livelihood, and we promise to uphold that principle to the end.”
