Han Dong-hoon: "Democratic Party-Joguk Party Bulletproof Alliance"

Jo Guk, leader of the Jo Guk Innovation Party, responded to Han Dong-hoon, the Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, calling him a "criminal alliance" by saying, "The criminal alliance is Yoon Seok-yeol, Kim Geon-hee, and Han Dong-hoon."

At a press conference held on the 30th at Pungam Lake Park in Pungam-dong, Seo-gu, Gwangju, Representative Jo stated, "The good citizens here are patriotic citizens, and the ones we need to judge are the Yoon Seok-yeol administration, but it seems they are confessing themselves as a criminal alliance." Earlier, Chairman Han Dong-hoon had defined the alliance between the Democratic Party and the Jo Guk Innovation Party as a "criminal alliance and bulletproof alliance." He targeted the Democratic Party and Jo Guk Party by saying, "It is a confrontation between law-abiding, good citizens and the criminal alliance."

Visiting Gwangju for the third time this year, Representative Jo said, "At the beginning of the party's founding declaration, the citizens of Gwangju held our hands saying 'It's touching' and 'You endured well,' and after the founding, they said 'It's refreshing' and 'Thank you for fighting well.'" He added, "These two combined seem to have led to the current support from the citizens of Gwangju."

He emphasized, "I always think about why the citizens of Gwangju support us so passionately," adding, "In a situation where anger, disappointment, and resentment toward the Yoon Seok-yeol administration have accumulated, seeing the activities of the Jo Guk Innovation Party and pushing us forward reflects the citizens' hearts, and we will do proper politics on their behalf."

He also said, "Some people said they didn't want to vote because 'they are all the same,' but after the emergence of the Jo Guk Innovation Party, it seems that the patriotic citizens want to judge the Yoon Seok-yeol administration with their own hands," adding, "I believe this sentiment of the voters must continue until April 10."
