The Democratic Party of Korea on the 24th criticized the People Power Party's "special committee for normalizing real estate policy," chaired by Jang Dong-hyeok of the People Power Party, calling it the "special committee for sweeping up real estate," saying Jang holds four apartments.
On the 24th, Democratic Party floor spokesperson Mun Geum-ju said in a written briefing, "Jang Dong-hyeok, who has four apartments — isn't he the chairperson of the special committee for sweeping up real estate?" and added, "The People Power Party, which has created a paradise for real estate speculators, no longer has even the qualification to talk about people's livelihoods."
Mun, the floor spokesperson, said, "The People Power Party's 'naeronambul' (short for 'it's romance when I do it, adultery when others do it') style of crude politics has already crossed the line," adding, "Their habit of blaming others to cover up their own greed and speculative behavior — the brazenness is sky-high."
She continued, "The People Power Party is no longer a conservative party. It is merely an interest group for real estate speculators and the main base of 'naeronambul,'" emphasizing, "(Jang) has four apartments alone, has even secured an officetel and a detached house, and has rented out an apartment in Daejeon, which is not his constituency."
Mun also said, "Isn't it now clear why the People Power Party has so loudly called for 'easing real estate regulations'?" adding, "Their politics was not for ordinary people but was greedy politics to raise the prices of their own land."
She went on, "The People Power Party is a party that grew by using the suffering of ordinary people as a stepping stone for speculation," adding, "The Democratic Party is different. We will put an end to politics that makes money through real estate and to an era of accumulating wealth through privilege."
