Burdensome Ideological Dispute between the Political Parties

The ruling Uri Party and opposition Grand National Party are having constant disputes over ideology and identity on October 19. Uri Party leader Moon Hee-sang (right on the picture on the left) is carefully discussing countermeasures with fellow lawmakers at the plenary session place of the National Assembly on that day. GNP leader Park Geun-hye (right on the picture on the right) is using the term “comrade” when addressing her party members as she tries to persuade them to participate in the “Save the Nation Drive.”
