[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Kim Jeong-hwa, co-chair of the Minsaeng Party's joint election committee, targeted the Democratic Party of Korea, the United Future Party, and the People’s Party on the 14th, a day before the April 15 general election, saying, “Please vote excluding number 1, number 2, the trick satellite parties, and the ephemeral centrist parties,” and appealed, “Please choose number 3 Minsaeng Party for our future and real politics that will break fake politics.”

On the same day, Kim held a press conference at the National Assembly Communication Office and said, “Please vote for number 3 Minsaeng Party for the livelihood where my mother’s old age is comfortable, my wife leaves work early, my younger sibling easily gets a job, and my friend’s pub is bustling.”

He criticized, “The current political scene vividly reveals the true face of fake politics,” adding, “There are politicians who insult the Sewol ferry victims’ families, politicians who defend the perpetrators of the nth room case, and politicians who disparage youth, women, and the disabled.”

He continued, “Due to the proportional satellite parties hastily formed by the two major parties solely to secure seats, the ballot paper length reached a tragic 48.1 cm,” calling it “the pitiful and shameful true face of fake politics.”

Kim emphasized, “This election is a confrontation between the past and the future,” and “It is a battle between old-fashioned politics regressing to the past and democratic politics advancing to the future, and a confrontation between entrenched politicians and ordinary fellow citizens.”

Kim said, “We have given the entrenched two major parties enough chances over the past 30 years. Now it is time for change,” adding, “Good politics, kind politics, and real politics that are worthy of great fellow citizens and effective for fellow citizens must change Yeouido.”
