Minsaengdang Union: "Party Leadership's Cunning Personnel Committee... Must Stop Autocratic Party Management"

"The Third Political Flag is Gone... Only the Party Leadership's Faded Stubbornness Remains"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] The Minsheng Party Labor Union criticized on the 5th, “The party leadership has worsened the ‘Central Organization Regulations’ through the Emergency Measures Committee,” and questioned, “What is the intention behind changing the Personnel Committee, which can be sufficiently formed under the current regulations?”

In a statement released that day, they said, “This revision of the Central Organization Regulations can only be seen as a trick to firmly form a Personnel Committee that suits the leadership’s taste by changing the party regulations after an attempt to issue personnel appointments without a Personnel Committee immediately following the sudden replacement of the Secretary-General was blocked by the party constitution and regulations,” adding, “Are they trying to discipline the office staff party officials through a ‘loyal dog’ Personnel Committee?”

They continued, “Although not included in this revision, the leadership’s creative idea to include the ‘spokesperson’ in the Personnel Committee instead of ‘one of the deputy directors of the Policy Research Institute’ provokes not only anger but also ridicule,” and pointed out, “Moreover, the party leadership proceeded with the Emergency Measures Committee despite being aware in advance of the authorities’ order to have all personnel who visited Seoul Samsung Hospital on the 26th undergo COVID-19 testing, ultimately resulting in the change of the Central Organization Regulations.”

They questioned, “How urgent and indispensable must their personnel appointments be that they threaten the health of party officials and even change party regulations to alter the composition of the Personnel Committee?” and added, “How much longer must we endure? How much longer must we be deceived? Ignoring the sincere advice of our office staff party officials and having acted arbitrarily so far, the leadership’s suspicion of trying to discipline office staff party officials through the Personnel Committee cannot be overlooked.”

They lamented, “Where has the flag of the third politics that we so earnestly wanted to protect gone, leaving only the faded obstinacy and stubbornness of the leadership?” and declared, “Besides this trick Personnel Committee, we cannot tolerate any attempts by the leadership to turn the Minsheng Party of the people and party members into their own hideout and safe.”

They warned sternly, “If unfair personnel actions or oppression against party officials with improper motives or purposes occur through the Personnel Committee in the future, we will actively respond using all methods that the management has never experienced before,” and said, “There is a limit to patience. The leadership must immediately stop their autocratic party management.”
