Former Justice Minister Cho Kuk announced the creation of a new party on the 13th. Former Minister Cho said, “I will fight from the front to end the incompetent prosecutorial dictatorship,” and added, “I will create a political party that is one step ahead and presents alternatives to overcome the national crisis without being obsessed with popularity.”
Former Minister Cho announced the founding of the party at Democracy Park in Busan, his hometown, on this day. Former Minister Cho said in the party founding declaration, “April 10 should be an opportunity not only to judge the ruthless and incompetent Yoon Seok-yeol regime, but also to rebuild the Republic of Korea, which is facing multiple crises,” and “I want to act together with citizens to create a completely different Republic of Korea.” He said.
Former Minister Cho said, “Although my strength is weak, I will lift a big stone together with the people. If you join me on that path, I will definitely achieve it.”
In his party founding declaration, former Minister Cho criticized the current government for failing to properly respond to the national extinction crisis caused by low birth rates and the climate crisis, saying, “I will create a political party that mediates conflicts and solves problems, not politics that exploits conflict.” “We will establish ourselves as a small, strong political party that will bring about change in the Republic of Korea,” he said.
Although former Minister Cho mentioned a ‘strong small party’, most in the political world view former Minister Cho’s new party as a ‘disposable party’ for the April general election. Former Minister Cho was a defendant who continued to be tried after the so-called ‘Cho Kuk Incident’ and was found guilty in both the first and second trials. Before the ruling, former Minister Cho said, “As a legal scholar and former Minister of Justice, I will accept the final ruling on the charges.” However, former Minister Cho hinted at running for general elections in November last year, saying, “If the legal explanation is not accepted, I think we should find a way to restore our reputation through non-legal methods.”
There are mixed views within the Democratic Party of Korea over former Minister Cho’s declaration of founding the party, in effect declaring his candidacy for the April general election. There is also a negative view that former Minister Cho’s candidacy could plunge the Democratic Party into the ‘river of the fatherland’ again, but some say, “If former Minister Cho does not join the ‘proportional coalition’ promoted by the Democratic Party and steps forward independently, the Democratic Party will suffer great damage. There is also an opinion that “there is nothing.”
