Chapter 476
As the leader of the main opposition party declared a hunger strike, the Blue House and the ruling party naturally stepped in. Members of the ruling party, while claiming they didn't understand why she was fasting now, made a show of trying to stop her.
However, Representative Yeon Nakyeong did not bend her will.
"The security and economy of the Republic of Korea are in ruins. Liberal democracy is being ruthlessly trampled upon. What can we possibly gain from the deterioration of Korea-Japan relations? We must face the violence of this administration with the resolve to die. The only thing I fear is the potential loss of the values of the free Republic of Korea."
But at this point, OTK Company made an announcement in the name of its Vice President.
"First, we express our respect to Representative Yeon Nakyeong of the Liberty People's Party, who has embarked on a hunger strike out of patriotic concern. The hunger strike declaration by the leader of the main opposition party has become an opportunity for us as a corporation to reflect on our position. However, we believe that trying to stop the hunger strike would be to break the will of Representative Yeon Nakyeong, and by extension, the Liberty People's Party. Therefore, we would like to make a proposal. If Representative Yeon Nakyeong successfully completes a one-week hunger strike in front of OTK Company, CEO Kang Jin-hoo will personally visit your party headquarters to apologize and take the lead in seeking a new solution for Korea-Japan relations."
It was as if they were egging on the hunger strike.
What kind of company in the world would act this way? But the eccentric behavior of OTK Company's Vice President was already well-known, so it wasn't particularly surprising.
Liberty People's Party members and supporters were enraged.
- What is this, are they encouraging it or what?
