Kim Jae-won: "Yoo Seung-min and Lee Jun-seok's New Party? A Gathering of Complainers"

People Power Party Supreme Council Member, KBS Radio Interview
"Yoo Seung-min Reform Conservative? Nothing Shown So Far"

Kim Jae-won, Supreme Council Member of the People Power Party, on the 27th, regarding the rumors of a new party formation by the non-Yoon (anti-Yoon Seok-yeol) faction, said, "I do not think it is centrist, nor do I think it is conservative," and dismissed it as "a gathering of complainers."

Kim, appearing on KBS Radio's 'Choi Kyung-young's Strong Current Affairs' that day, said, "These are people who either failed to properly seize party leadership or did not win the presidential primary and were not chosen by the people, yet they have always claimed to be reform conservatives."

He continued, "Ahn Cheol-soo's new politics was at least fresh, but former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min's reform conservatism has been ongoing for a long time and ultimately has shown nothing," adding, "What kind of politics is former leader Lee Jun-seok showing? Is it just 'I am unfairly treated,' or is it nothing more than attacking others?" he criticized.

Regarding next year's general election, he predicted, "The fight between the two camps will be more prominent than ever." Kim said, "Looking at the speeches exchanged between President Yoon Seok-yeol and former President Park Geun-hye at the memorial ceremony for former President Park Chung-hee, it is possible to predict that this general election will bring about great unity among conservatives," and explained, "Similarly, the progressive left's Democratic Party and minor parties like the Justice Party and the Green Party have almost lost their significance."

Kim added, "Former President Park Geun-hye referred to the Yoon administration, which played a major role in impeaching and imprisoning her, as 'our administration,'" and said, "Then the camps have clearly unified, and the conservative coalition is now complete, but those trying to break into this fight between the two major forces to create a new space are those people (the centrist conservative new party)."
