Chung Jinseok: "We Must Completely Realign the Party's Direction... Let's Fully Escalate the Fight Against the Ruling Party"

[Asia Economy, reporter Lee Jieun] Chung Jinseok, the most senior member of the People Power Party, has suggested the need to fully escalate the party's confrontation with the ruling party, calling for a complete realignment of the party’s direction.

On November 20, Chung wrote on Facebook, "There is widespread criticism that the main opposition party is too lethargic and lacks presence," expressing these concerns.

He pointed out, "Even though public dissatisfaction and anger toward the Moon Jae-in administration are about to explode, the main opposition party is being criticized even more," adding, "This is, literally, a total crisis and total tyranny."

Chung criticized the party for being "an impotent opposition merely watching the Moon Jae-in administration, which is rushing down the path of dictatorship," citing issues such as the establishment of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) and the housing price problem.

He continued, "We can no longer just stand by and watch their unilateral actions and the destruction of people's livelihoods. Our party's stance on the Moon Jae-in administration must be thoroughly reconsidered," adding, "We need to completely realign our party's direction to determine how to stop the Moon administration's runaway and tyranny."

Chung acknowledged, "Of course, I am well aware that it is not easy to fully escalate the confrontation with the ruling party," but emphasized, "Still, we cannot just stand by and lament the situation."

He stated, "If we fail to properly represent the anger of the people, the people will eventually abandon us," and added, "It is time to once again gather our determination and wisdom on how to effectively fight against the ruling party."
