[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Jang Je-won, a member of the United Future Party, proposed a 'Conservative Reconstruction Roundtable' gathering leader-level figures within the party.

On the 12th, Jang said on his Facebook, "Rather than the 'Kim Jong-in Emergency Committee,' I proposed a full-authority Innovation Committee involving both parliamentary and non-parliamentary figures. Separately, I propose a 'Conservative Reconstruction Roundtable' involving leader-level figures within the party."

Instead of entrusting the party to outsiders, the idea is for leader-level figures within the party to gather and discuss solutions to rebuild conservatism. Jang said, "Our party has many nationally recognized figures who have been presidential candidates, party leaders, provincial governors, and floor leaders. There are also current provincial governors," adding, "Whether they were supporters or players, can we talk about the presidency without including these people?"

He added, "These individuals have experienced both the bright and dark sides within our party and bear responsibility for the conservative decline, but they also bear responsibility for conservative reconstruction," and said, "If we see each other’s faces, talk, eat meals, and drink tea together, solutions can emerge."

Jang said, "I hear that first-term lawmakers are actively holding meetings. That is very encouraging," and added, "I hope that opportunities where first-term lawmakers bring freshness and party leaders bring responsibility to meet face-to-face and work together will be created frequently and abundantly."
