Hong Joon-pyo: "Cunning Leftists Are Being Branded as Far-Right Forces by Some Churches"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Former Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Joon-pyo criticized the government, saying it is "absurdly labeling some church groups as far-right forces."

On the 23rd, Hong said on Facebook, "The term 'far-right' refers to nationalists, totalitarians, and racists, but do those people really fit that description?"

He added, "Those people are simply opposing the Moon administration with their whole being. Of course, they have been uncooperative with COVID-19 prevention measures and led the August 15 rally during the COVID crisis, which contributed to the spread of the virus, but the political conspiracy to label them as far-right forces and isolate them from the public and opposition parties is truly astonishing."

Hong emphasized, "Do not use the infectious disease crisis for political purposes. From now on, please accurately inform the public about COVID-19 infection routes and focus on developing vaccines and treatments. Stop boasting that K-quarantine is the best in the world and have the president personally take the lead in encouraging the development of treatments and vaccines."

He also said, "The leftists are truly cunning. They incited public sentiment to impeach Park Geun-hye, who did not even have grounds for impeachment, seized power, deceived the public with a fake peace summit, won a landslide victory in local elections, and then used COVID-19 quarantine measures for the general election to achieve another big win."
