[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The United Future Party criticized the election commission's interpretation that prohibited the use of expressions such as 'Minsheng Disaster' and 'Lies OUT' in early voting slogans, and announced plans to file a criminal complaint.


On the 13th, the United Future Party Media Special Committee held a press conference at the National Assembly Communication Office and stated, "The election commission's interpretation is the height of inconsistency."


The committee pointed out, "The election commission disallowed 'cleansing pro-Japanese collaborators' but allowed '100 years of cleansing pro-Japanese collaborators,' disallowed 'cleansing deep-rooted evils' but allowed '70 years of cleansing deep-rooted evils.' They disallowed the phrase 'Minsheng Disaster' because it reminded them of the Moon Jae-in administration and disallowed 'Lies OUT' because it reminded them of candidate Lee Su-jin from Seoul Dongjak. This means the election commission acknowledged that the Moon Jae-in administration is a 'Minsheng Disaster' administration and that candidate Lee Su-jin is a 'Lies' candidate."



They added, "With the election commission joining as a player for the ruling party, it is already difficult for our United Future Party players to even stand on this tilted playing field," and announced plans to file a criminal complaint against those responsible for the election commission's interpretation for abuse of authority.
