[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] The planning team for the establishment of Ahn Cheol-soo's new party (tentative name), founded by former Bareunmirae Party lawmaker Ahn Cheol-soo, held its first meeting on the 4th and began concrete practical work for the party's establishment.

At the planning team meeting held at the National Assembly Members' Office Building that day, former lawmaker Ahn emphasized, "The most important thing in our country's politics is the restoration of publicness," adding, "The biggest problem in our country's politics is the lack of publicness, and the very basics of politics are not being fulfilled."

Ahn said, "Why do we engage in politics? Why do we try to form a political party? I believe it is all about restoring the publicness that has fallen to the ground," and added, "Since this is the first meeting, it is important to freely exchange our thoughts, engage in earnest discussions, and if necessary, fight to bring our ideas together in one direction."

Lee Tae-gyu, head of the party establishment planning team, pointed out, "We will encounter many obstacles while pushing for the party's establishment," and said, "Although the 20th National Assembly is criticized as the worst, when someone actually tries to reform it, various negative sophistries are created to criticize and shoot arrows of criticism."

Lee stated, "The vested interests are a terrifying and high barrier, and to protect their vested interests, attacks and intrigues against the new party, especially former lawmaker Ahn, will intensify," adding, "Our political environment is filled with people representing vested interests. We must also fight against thousands or tens of thousands of invisible 'Drukings.' However, we can overcome them."

Lee said, "The practical centrist path we are taking is right, but it is not like riding a flower palanquin in a warm greenhouse to welcome spring. It is like setting a raft afloat on the cold and fierce winter sea to welcome spring," and added, "The planning team needs pride in choosing the right path and determination to overcome challenges."

Kim Kyung-hwan, a member of the party establishment planning team, said, "Existing parties have lacked communication and transparency due to their top-down approach," and added, "I am confident that through the blockchain system this time, we can enhance communication and transparency within the party, and I want to contribute to designing and implementing the specific details."

Kim said, "The new party will show the public a new political system so that it is clear that 'it is different from existing parties and distinctly distinguishable,' and we will make sure to demonstrate this clearly."
