Jang Je-won: "Why Did Jisung Wook, Opposed to Integration, Unite with the Corrupt Liberty Korea Party?"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Jang Je-won, a member of the People Power Party from the same party, rebutted Ji Sang-wook, head of the Yeouido Research Institute, who showed a critical response to Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, and his proposal for 'opposition realignment,' by asking, "Why did you merge with the Liberty Korea Party, which you so vehemently condemned as a deep-rooted evil?"

On the 10th, Jang said this through Facebook, addressing Ji Sang-wook, "I have a word for Director Ji."

Earlier, Director Ji posted on his Facebook, "Five party foundings in nine years since entering politics? It is not innovation to merge all opposition forces unconditionally," advising, "You are just thinking of becoming the owner by forming an anti-Moon alliance, but stop now. It has shrunk a lot."

This expressed a skeptical stance toward the opposition unification proposed by Ahn. However, Jang responded, "Why did you merge with the Liberty Korea Party, which you so harshly condemned as a deep-rooted evil? How many times has the New Conservative Party been founded? If it’s five times in four years with the Bareun Party - Bareunmirae Party - New Conservative Party - United Future Party, then five times in nine years doesn’t seem that frequent," pointing out Director Ji’s history belonging to the Bareun Party faction, which has repeatedly merged.

Jang questioned, "Wasn’t the New Conservative Party a party that had shrunk? Since when did you become the owner of the People Power Party?" and added, "If we start digging up our distorted political histories, how many opposition politicians will actually be left to do politics?"

He criticized, "The tiresome factional politics, arrogant discriminatory politics, nauseating corrupt politics, boss politics dominated by one person, bloody massacre politics, and those who danced to the Moon Jae-in administration after impeaching the president and have only now realized and switched sides?aren’t all of them sinners who played a big role in creating the Moon Jae-in administration?"

He continued, "I insisted that the Liberty Korea Party should relinquish all vested interests even during the merger with the New Conservative Party. It is the same now," adding, "Everyone must humbly give up their vested interests."

Jang also addressed Ahn, saying, "If your proposal was made with the thought of becoming the center yourself, you must abandon that idea," and "It is time for the People Power Party and the People’s Party to engage in alliance and unification solely for regime change, not for the benefit of any faction."
