[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 21st, Park Ji-won, a member of the Minsheng Party, criticized the United Future Party's shift in stance on emergency disaster relief funds from providing to all citizens to only the bottom 70% by income, saying, “Former United Future Party leader Hwang Kyo-ahn absolutely opposed using taxpayers' money like this, then promised to give 500,000 won per person during the general election, and now opposes it again. Is that even a party?”

Park said on YTN Radio's 'Noh Young-hee's Start of a New Morning' that “That is nonsense, and that's why the United Future Party was defeated.”

Regarding the Minsheng Party's future course, Park said, “I don't know either. I don't care,” adding, “If a party that had 20 seats now fails to gain even one seat, doesn't that mean the people have abandoned it?”

Park said, “I never talked about the Minsheng Party during the election. The party should do things that help candidates on the front lines, but just talking about it became a negative factor,” and “I could hear the sound of votes dropping.”

Regarding Minsheng Party member Jeong Dong-young, Park said, “If you lose the election, you have no choice but to return to being a private citizen,” and “Although Jeong has left the political front line, I think he will be active in the second line.”
