[Asia Economy Reporter Hana Na] Yang Hyang-ja, Supreme Council Member of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized the People Power Party by saying, "Even a school student council's political skills are better than this."

On the night of the 21st, Supreme Council Member Yang wrote on Facebook, "It seems that for the People Power Party, party positions exist only as 'anti-Moon' and 'anti-Democratic Party of Korea'."

She pointed out, "Why should there be a leadership that cannot even present party positions on policy issues and political matters? Does such leadership even exist? Without party positions, how is cooperation possible?"

She continued, "The People Power Party was split in half over the Gadeokdo New Airport issue, and the positions on public apologies related to former Presidents Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak differ between Representative Kim Jong-in and Floor Leader Joo Ho-young."

Furthermore, she said, "The amendment bill for the Gwangju Asia Culture Center City Special Act was excluded from the Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee's subcommittee discussions. It is said that People Power Party members unilaterally refused to even discuss it," and questioned, "Was it Kim Jong-in personally who knelt before the spirits of the May 18 victims, not the People Power Party?"

Supreme Council Member Yang also criticized, "This is not all. Regarding the three Fair Economy Acts, not only are the thoughts of Representative Kim Jong-in and Floor Leader Joo Ho-young uncoordinated, but even the positions among individual People Power Party members have not been settled."

She urged, "I only hope that the 'absence of party positions' will not be used as a trick to nullify everything that Representative Kim promised after the People Power Party's emergency committee ends."
