[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] The People Power Party's election countermeasures headquarters announced on the 13th that it has obtained the entire meeting materials from the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, which is suspected of being involved in the development of the Democratic Party's presidential election pledges. Ha Tae-kyung, the special commissioner for games of the People Power Party, revealed the materials on the same day, stating, "The reality of the election cartel with the Democratic Party as the primary contractor and the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family as the subcontractor has been exposed."


Commissioner Ha announced that he obtained the '(Ministry of Gender Equality and Family) Policy Pledge (ver.3, after the Vice Minister's meeting)' materials from an anonymous informant. The document, including the cover, consists of a total of 36 pages and contains 19 pledges developed by five departments, including the Women's Policy Bureau, the Rights Promotion Bureau, and the Gender Equality Organization Innovation Promotion Team.

Rep. Ha pointed out, "Looking at the actual content, it is clear that these are election pledges," adding, "The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family claimed that these are not pledges but merely mid- to long-term policy proposals, but the title itself is a pledge." For example, one pledge to strengthen the Ministry's role by including 'youth' in its name also presented the expected effect of "gaining support from the youth sector."



He continued, "It even specifies the effect of helping to expand the support base," and questioned, "Could the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family have done such a big thing alone without the Blue House's consent?" He added, "Is the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family the only one to have developed such detailed pledges? The Blue House and the Democratic Party should answer this question."
