Park Min-sik Rules Out Alliance with Han Dong-hoon in Election Campaign

Park Min-sik, the People Power Party candidate for the Busan Buk-gap parliamentary by-election, dismissed the possibility of an alliance with other conservative candidates on the first day of his official campaign on May 21. "There will be no alliance. I will go all the way and win for sure," he declared, expressing his determination to complete the race.

At the campaign launch held at Ssamji Park in Gupo Market, Park shaved his head and stated, "I will end Han Dong-hoon's predatory and parasitic politics and bring the Democratic Party's Lee Jae-myung government to its knees." His mother was the one who cut his hair.

He emphasized, "This fight is a struggle to end arrogant betrayal politics and to defeat the hypocritical candidates like Ha Jeong-woo and the Lee Jae-myung government. I pledge to the residents that I will win in this critical battle."

Targeting independent candidate Han Dong-hoon, he questioned, "Who is this intruder suddenly coming to our Buk-gu to act like the owner? Isn’t he the cruel traitor who imprisoned former President Lee Myung-bak, put former President Park Geun-hye in front of the judicial blade, and turned his back on President Yoon Suk-yeol to bring down the government?"

He added, "He has not only driven three conservative presidents to the brink but was also the one who, during the 22nd National Assembly elections, blamed the president and others while leading the party and comrades to a crushing defeat. What did he use to escape from his incompetence and irresponsibility? It was the party members' bulletin board," he pointed out.

Regarding the emergency martial law on December 3, he criticized, "He treated party members, who were in despair at the risk of the conservative collapse, as criminals while acting like a savior and treating our party as his trophy. How can such a person now talk about returning to the party? That itself is a disgrace to our conservatism and a deception that leads to its destruction."

He warned, "The moment we tolerate Han Dong-hoon, we complete the path of Han Dong-hoon-style conservative devastation, Buk-gu plunder, and Democratic Party parasitism. That is not an alliance but a self-destructive act that hands Buk-gu over to the Democratic Party's Ha Jeong-woo and the Lee Jae-myung government."

He concluded, "I, Park Min-sik, will surely win this battle. With my shaved head, filled with my mother's tears and determination, I will walk through the storm without faltering for a moment. I ask for your support."
