Eyes Shut to Criticism

Park Geun-hye (pictured left), chairwoman of the opposition Grand National Party, listens with shut eyes during a general conference of party members at the National Assembly on Wednesday as representatives opposed to the Administrative City Act heap criticisms on her endorsement of the bill.

Representative Jeon Jae-hee (right) of the Grand National Party, on her seventh day of fasting in protest of the passage of the Administrative City Act, appears with a scrawny visage at the “Grand National Party Debate to Resist the Partition of the Capital,” held at the National Assembly. She reiterated the illegitimacy of constructing an alternative administrative city.
