The Bareun Future Party[1][5][6] (Korean: 바른미래당, lit. Righteous Future Party), also known as Bareun Mirae Party[7][8], is a South Korean political party founded in 2018 by the merger of the center-left People's Party and the center-right Bareun Party.[5]
History
In January 2018, leaders of the party's predecessors announced their plan to merge, in an effort to form a centrist bloc and consolidate their parliamentary standings before local elections.[9][10]
The merger was noted to be a bold political experiment, as People's Party is rooted in the Jeolla Provinces, while Bareun Party is rooted in the Gyeongsang Provinces.[5]
The party founded in 13 February 2018.
Criticism
The merger was noted as being "hasty", as it was announced before the two respective parties underwent due process to confirm the union[9], and was seen an attempt to consolidate the plan amidst oppositions.[9] The merger plan faced opposition from members of both parties, citing concerns over differences in ideology and policy, particularly over differing stances on dealing with North Korea.[10]
Within the People's Party, the plan faced opposition, especially with lawmakers from the provinces of North and South Jeolla, both of which are noted to be liberal-leaning provinces.[9] Opposition within that party led to 16 of its lawmakers, including Park Jie-won and Chung Dong-young, to announce plans for a new party.[11] The lawmakers were noted to have belonged to a faction that was closely associated with late former President Kim Dae-jung.[11] The new party, named Party for Democracy and Peace, was launched on 6 February 2018.[12]
