[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] Kim Jae-yeon, the Progressive Party's presidential candidate, proposed a 'One-Point Debate on Ecological Constitutional Amendment and Climate Election' to the presidential candidates on the 4th.


On the same day, at an emergency debate held at the National Assembly under the theme "There is no future in a presidential election where climate has disappeared," Kim said, "It is very regrettable that seeking a new system to respond to the climate crisis is a reality rather than an issue in the presidential election."


Kim stated, "The role of progressive parties is to organize the voices of workers and farmers as the main agents of climate politics," and added, "Let us create a broad framework under the name of ecological constitutional amendment and progressive constitutional amendment in the future."


The debate was attended by party leaders including Shin Ji-hye, Standing Representative of the Basic Income Party; Kim Chan-hwi, Co-Representative of the Green Party; Oh Tae-yang, Representative of the Future Party; and Yeo Young-guk, Representative of the Justice Party, under the moderation of Kim Ye-won, Co-Representative of the Green Party.


Kim said, "I earnestly ask all the party leaders present here to promise the realization of a one-point debate for the climate election," and added, "I hope that our earnestness in this presidential election will give new hope to the people concerned about the climate crisis and help organize the main agents."



She emphasized, "I will devote myself to climate politics that realize systemic transformation without compromising with corporations and capital, and to organizing climate politics from local communities and the field."
