The ruling Saenuri Party moved yet another
step closer to breaking apart after dozens
of its non-pro-President Park faction vowed
to leave the party.
At an emergency meeting this morning, the
group said roughly 35 of its members would
leave the party next Tuesday to seek a truly
conservative political platform.
The faction also vowed to eradicate factional
politics by establishing a new conservative
power capable of winning the presidential
election next year.
The party's pro-Park members strongly denounced
them...
called the dissenters cowards.
The conflict between the factions has been
simmering over the past year, but flared up
on Tuesday when the pro-Park group rejected
the non-pro-Park wing's candidate for interim
leader of the party's emergency leadership
committee.
