[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the 26th, as the court ruled to suspend the duties of Joo Ho-young, the Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, Rep. Ha Tae-kyung of the People Power Party expressed his feelings, saying, "It is a very sad and painful day."

Rep. Ha stated on his social network service (SNS) that day, "The court has put a brake on our party's reckless actions," adding, "Ignoring the internal and external appeals to prevent a catastrophe and rejecting the opportunity to resolve it politically, the party's mistakes have been judged by the court."

He had previously argued on SNS, "We should not leave the party's fate solely to the court; the party must first come up with a political solution before the court's decision is made."

Rep. Ha criticized, "The party leadership, which refused a political solution to the current crisis, must take responsibility for this catastrophe," and said, "The People Power Party has been stigmatized as an 'anti-democratic party.'"

He then questioned, "How can the ruling party, born on the principles of fairness and common sense, be forgiven for thoroughly destroying fairness and common sense?" and emphasized, "Even now, fundamental changes must be made to rebirth as a democratic party."
