[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Former Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Joon-pyo criticized the United Future Party's decision to accept Kim Jong-in as the emergency committee chairman, saying, "The fundamental cause of the National Assembly's violent chaos is because the opposition party was looked down upon."

On the 16th, former leader Hong said on Facebook, "Seeing the opposition party being looked down upon and no one resisting or rejecting demands like 'Give me unlimited authority,' 'Give me indefinite authority,' and 'I decide the presidential candidate,' they became arrogant, thinking they could do whatever they want from now on."

He argued that accepting Chairman Kim was the reason the United Future Party was looked down upon.

Former leader Hong called for a "strong opposition party." He pointed out, "It is the Democratic Party that is delighted to face not a strong opposition but a tamed opposition," adding, "This situation will continue going forward."

He continued, "They only pretend to negotiate but in the end will create a one-party dominant National Assembly that acts as they please," and added, "Except for the Busan mayoral by-election next year, there is only the presidential election two years later, so the Democratic Party has no reason to pay attention to the public's sentiment for the time being."

Former leader Hong emphasized, "The only way to survive is to be reborn as a strong opposition party," and warned, "A fashion opposition party that is only concerned with appearances will become the Minhandang of the Fifth Republic era."
