[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 7th, the Minsaeng Party stated regarding the satellite party for proportional representation, “The Minsaeng Party filed a constitutional complaint on the grounds that registering a satellite party is unconstitutional, and the main trial is currently underway,” adding, “If the Constitutional Court concludes it is unconstitutional, a re-election will be inevitable.”

Minsaeng Party spokesperson Lee Yeon-gi said in a commentary that day, “We repeatedly appeal for the Constitutional Court, the last bastion to protect the dignity and honor of a democratic nation, to take action.”

Regarding Lee Hae-chan, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, saying about the possibility of the Future Korea Party forming a negotiation group, “I earnestly ask for cooperation so that the National Assembly can operate normally,” the spokesperson criticized, “It seems to be another blunder confirming the Future United Party’s trump card,” and added, “Requests should be made considering the counterpart.”

The spokesperson pointed out, “The United Party openly declared that they would nullify the law through the satellite party trick, and having easily achieved that goal, wouldn’t the belated plea of the defeated general be only sweet?” and “The reason the conflict between the two parties, who disrupted the constitutional order by engaging in self-harming politics through the creation of satellite parties, appears unrealistic and absurd.”

He warned, “If by any chance the Democratic Party attempts to accept the election results as a fait accompli together with the United Party, it will bring about greater disaster,” and said, “If you judge that ‘satellite parties are tricks, have received tremendous public criticism, and the National Assembly must be operated so as not to receive such criticism again,’ then do not waste time on unnecessary pleas and act according to that judgment.”
