[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, met with Kim Jong-chul, the newly appointed leader of the Justice Party, on the 13th and said, “After Kim assumed office, seeing him speak in a manner truly befitting the principles of the Justice Party gave me great expectations,” adding, “I look forward to seeing even more progress.”

At the meeting where Kim paid a courtesy visit, Ahn said, “When I think of the Justice Party, the word ‘principle’ comes to mind first,” and added, “In fact, anyone can keep to principles when it is easy. But I believe that keeping to principles even when it causes losses brings great strength.”

Kim said, “I first visited Lee Nak-yeon, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, and Kim Jong-in, emergency committee chairman of the People Power Party, and I mentioned three things,” stating, “The Serious Accidents Punishment Act ? many people suffer from industrial accidents, so I hope this bill is passed quickly.”

Kim continued, “The government and ruling party are promoting nationwide employment insurance, but we proposed creating a bill for nationwide employment and income insurance that includes self-employed workers,” and added, “Lastly, regarding the abortion law ruled unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court ? although the allowable period for abortion was extended, it still treats abortion beyond that period as a crime. I suggested jointly promoting the decriminalization of abortion.”
