Ruling party criticizes Democratic Party: ”They should not label the people as far-right” = South Korea

South Korea's ruling party, the People Power Party, said on the 2nd that the Democratic Party of Korea (MDP) is not only ignoring the voice of the people, but is also denigrating them as far-right.
The party said it had taken action against the Democratic Party after ruling party lawmakers participated in an anti-impeachment rally held to mark the March 1st Independence Movement Day.
In response to criticism that the party is a "far-right party," he emphasized that "the political world should listen to the cries of people who gathered from all over the country yesterday in order to protect Korea's constitutional order."
In a commentary released on the same day, floor spokesperson Seo Ji Young said, "The people are against the Democratic Party, which is exerting dictatorial control in the National Assembly with the backing of a large number of seats.
"We are raising our voices in anger, and we are earnestly calling for reform and the restoration of fairness to the Constitutional Court, which is embroiled in a controversy over bias, and the Election Commission, which is at the center of allegations of hiring irregularities," he said.
He continued, "Are the hundreds of thousands of rally participants who filled the streets far-right? Are the people with such a critical attitude far-right?"
He also said, "Even if you don't agree with the Democratic Party's position and criticize them, the streets will be filled with
"If the people who have been impeached are degraded or insulted, the public's anger and outcry will only grow," he said. Based on unofficial police estimates, Mr. Seo said the participants in the "anti-impeachment" rally were "pro-impeachment" and "pro-impeachment" protests.
"Tens of thousands of people who voluntarily gathered to protect constitutional order overwhelmed the mobilization orders issued by Democratic Party Chairman Lee Jae-myung. The people are the ones who are calling for Lee to be the leader of the Democratic Party," he said.
"The Democratic Party should immediately stop labelling the people as far-right," he said, "and defeat Lee Jae-myung just because they're afraid of being labelled as far-right."
"No citizen will accept a world where the Constitution is the foundation of the nation," he emphasized. Finally, Mr. Seo said, "Constitutional institutions such as the Constitutional Court and the National Election Commission should be reborn as institutions for the people.
"Instead of hiding behind a protective wall, we must listen carefully to the voices of the people who are demanding a spirit of fairness and common sense that upholds the Constitution."
