[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The United Future Party has remained silent for the 14th day regarding President Moon Jae-in's response to the sexual harassment allegations against the late Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon, stating, "We want to believe that the sincerity of President Moon two years ago and now is not different."

Kim Eun-hye, spokesperson for the United Future Party, said in a statement on the 23rd, "This government is now united in the spirit of 'One Team,' collectively victimizing the victims," expressing this view.

She criticized, "The police who clumsily obtained the search warrant, the court that dismissed the 'unwanted complaint,' the accusation of leaks, and the prosecution that has been stalling for almost a week," adding, "Even though the victim of former Mayor Park appealed to as many as 20 people over four years, they all dismissed her as 'not someone who would do that' and labeled her as abnormal."

Spokesperson Kim pointed out, "Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun said enigmatically that the president might be unable to speak because he is 'focused on other state affairs,'" and questioned, "What exactly is this 'other state affairs' that prevents a feminist president, who has been at the forefront of women's rights, from saying a single word?"

She also quoted President Moon's statement from February 2018, "I pay tribute to the courage of the victims who revealed the facts of the abuse." Spokesperson Kim emphasized, "The president, who has always stood on the side of women, would probably want to say this about the victims of former Mayor Park," and stressed, "We want to believe that the sincerity of President Moon two years ago and now is not different."

She added, "If this is not a government of hypocrisy and pretense that only pretends to care for women and protect the weak, then break the silence on the 14th day now."
