New Future and Opposition Parties Unite in 'Regime Judgment' Call

Saeroun Mirae is voicing a unified stance against the ruling party and government from the opposition camp, calling for a judgment on the administration.

On the 2nd, Lee Nak-yeon, co-representative of Saeroun Mirae, posted on his Facebook, "Former President Moon Jae-in strongly criticized the Yoon Seok-yeol administration yesterday, saying, 'In my seventy years of life, I have never seen a government perform this poorly.'"

Lee explained that former President Moon said, "'Our opposition parties, including the Democratic Party of Korea, the Jo Guk Innovation Party, and Saeroun Mirae, must achieve good results together,'" adding that this was "an endorsement of the trustworthy new party Saeroun Mirae." He also pointed out, "The Yoon Seok-yeol administration is the worst government since democratization," and criticized, "Citizens cannot afford to buy fruit because it is expensive, and even when they are sick, they cannot go to the hospital due to a lack of doctors."

Lee also made it clear that this general election should serve as a judgment on the administration. Regarding President Yoon’s public address, he said, "It was the height of arrogance and lack of communication. It showed that he has neither the will nor the ability to govern," emphasizing, "In the upcoming April 10 general election, we must judge the Yoon Seok-yeol administration and show the will of the people."

Kim Jong-min, a candidate from the same party running in Sejong City Gap district, is seen reaching out to Democratic Party members. On the recent Kim Eo-jun’s News Factory YouTube channel, he apologized for his resignation, saying, "As a politician, I acted with intention and thought, but if it hurt party members or supporters, I am sorry."

Political circles analyzed that after the Democratic Party candidate in Sejong City Gap was disqualified due to allegations of real estate gap speculation, Kim needs to target the large number of non-affiliated voters who had supported the Democratic Party. He is a former spokesperson during the late President Roh Moo-hyun’s administration and appealed to complete the 'administrative capital Sejong.'

Oh Young-hwan, Saeroun Mirae’s general election committee chairman, directly criticized the government’s price policy. Visiting near Mangwon Market in Seoul the day before, Chairman Oh said, "Because of the president, our people are suffering from high prices. We will soothe their pain and, amid the two major parties busy fighting, we will still enable them to meet and talk, so that we can stabilize prices and solve life’s problems."
