[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 22nd, the Democratic Party of Korea criticized the People Power Party, which raised issues during the process of scrapping the Gimhae New Airport project, calling it 'regionalism.'

Choi In-ho, the chief spokesperson, stated on Facebook that day, "Some remarks from the People Power Party are so fierce and harsh that I am worried they will lead to negative outcomes for national unity."

Choi said, "By calling the decision to scrap Gimhae Airport a 'divide between TK and PK,' they are blatantly exposing crude regionalism. They are also completely denying a year of verification and the legal interpretation by the Ministry of Government Legislation by calling it 'gangster-like behavior.' The commonality of these harsh words is that they ultimately aim to represent specific regions."

Choi added, "The predecessor parties of the People Power Party tried to maintain vested interests through regionalism that isolated certain areas in the past. But nowadays, it is even regrettable that they seem to have shifted to a strategy of self-isolation to maintain vested interests."

Yang Hyang-ja, a Supreme Council member, also pointed out on Facebook that day, "The People Power Party is split in half over the Gadeokdo New Airport," and questioned, "Is there even a party stance in the People Power Party?"

Yang mentioned that not only on the new airport issue but also on the 'Fair Economy 3 Laws' and the apology issue regarding former Presidents Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak, there are divided opinions within the party, and she criticized, "It seems that the People Power Party's party stance exists only as 'anti-Moon' and 'anti-Democratic Party.'

Yang said, "Even a school student council has better political skills than this," and added, "How can there be any cooperation with a leadership that cannot even form a party stance?"
