Goh Young-joo and Ryu Seok-chun Found the "Liberty Democratic Party"..."Syngman Rhee and Park Chung-hee Are Great Leaders"

Gangryeong "Deeply Engraving Merit (功) While Reflecting on Faults (過) and Historical Limits"

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] The "Liberty Democratic Party," led by former Broadcasting Culture Promotion Foundation Chairman Ko Young-joo and with former Yonsei University Professor Ryu Seok-chun as the chairman of the Policy Committee, has been founded. Representative Ko was convicted in the second trial last August for describing President Moon Jae-in as a communist, and Chairman Ryu, who previously served as the Innovation Committee Chairman of the Liberty Korea Party, is currently on trial for defamation after referring to comfort women as "a form of prostitution" during a lecture.

The National Election Commission announced the registration of the Liberty Democratic Party's central party on the 15th. It was formed jointly by the "Reform Liberty Alliance," created by Jeong Gyu-jae, a candidate in the Busan mayoral by-election, and Ko's "Liberty Korea 21."

In its party platform, the Liberty Democratic Party stated, "We deeply engrave the merits of great leaders, including Syngman Rhee's founding spirit and Park Chung-hee's development spirit, while reflecting on their faults and historical limitations to use them as stepping stones for individual and national development."

Regarding foreign policy, it confirmed "that the foundation of the Republic of Korea's survival and prosperity lies in the Korea-US alliance based on liberal democracy, free market economy, and autonomous national defense," and added, "Using this as leverage, we will promote future-oriented and pragmatic cooperation with Japan, China, Russia, ASEAN, and the Indo-Pacific to lead the establishment of an international order of freedom, peace, and prosperity."

The platform also included that "military experience should be compatible with careers in police, firefighting, and other public safety and security fields." In the economic sector, it stated, "We will create a fair, flexible, and dynamic society where entry and exit are easy, second chances are readily available, and positions and roles are determined solely by ability. To this end, we will revise various promotion laws, support laws, protection laws, and development laws, and exempt corporate inheritance tax that hinders social accumulation."

As for welfare, the platform proposed, "Introducing a 'Secure Income' system that provides 50% of the household median income as a 'supplementary benefit' in a 'prepayment and post-settlement' form to those below this threshold, and based on this, promoting labor reform, public reform, regulatory reform, welfare reform, and pension reform."

Regarding real estate, it stated, "We will enable high-density development in urban centers and adjust ineffective greenbelt regulations around major cities to supply various types of housing suited to life cycles and lifestyles."

It emphasized, "We will reform opportunistic conservative right-wing elements who, unaware of their own demise, complacently act as concealed collaborators of left-wing regimes."
