[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 10th, Jeong Cheong-rae, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, commented on Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, and his proposal for a new party formation to reorganize the opposition, saying, “Leader Ahn is tactless. For Kim Jong-in, the emergency committee chairman of the People Power Party, this is absolutely unacceptable,” and added, “Mixing 3 seats with 103 seats to take the initiative himself is, in a word, a snub to the People Power Party lawmakers and Chairman Kim.”

On the same day, on tbs radio’s ‘Kim Eo-jun’s News Factory,’ Rep. Jeong said, “The word ‘innovation’ is just a phrase, and it has become too worn out by frequent use,” and “In the end, the People Power Party cannot succeed on its own. And I’m struggling too. So, let’s unite. It seems like ‘please look at me’,” expressing his view.

Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the People Power Party, said, “I checked the facts. The innovation platform was overinterpreted and led to the formation of a new party, but this innovation platform is said not to refer to a party,” and “The most important focus is the Seoul mayoral election. To win the election, two things must happen. First, the opposition must show a more bold innovation, and second, the opposition must unite.”

Rep. Ha added, “It is an innovative opposition alliance. So, in my view, this is necessary, and our party also needs it,” and said, “I am thinking of taking the lead.”
