[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the United Future Party, criticized the Democratic Party of Korea on the 23rd regarding the confirmation hearing of Park Ji-won, nominee for the Director of the National Intelligence Service, saying, "We condemn the Democratic Party's obstruction of the hearing" and urged, "Do not refuse the adoption of witnesses related to the power-type admission corruption case."

On the same day, Ha stated on Facebook, "The Democratic Party is firmly refusing to adopt witnesses essential for Park's confirmation hearing," adding, "In particular, they are blocking the adoption of witnesses from Dankook University personnel and Ministry of Education officials who are crucial to investigating the power-type admission corruption case. They are trying to cover up all the crimes they committed."

Ha pointed out, "Park, in 2000, when he was a close aide to President Kim Dae-jung, forged his academic credentials to conceal the illegal admissions at Dankook University," and said, "He used power not for the public good but to cover up his own corruption."

Ha added, "Isn't the Democratic Party, which protects such a person entering public office, afraid of the heavens and the people?" and urged, "I hope they agree to the adoption of witnesses immediately, even now."
