On the 27th, All Democratic Party Members Issue a Resolution for 'National Unity Political Reform'
"Ending Entrenched Power Struggle Politics, Moving Toward National Unity Politics"
"Now Is the Best Time and Opportunity for Political Reform... All Supporting Political Forces Together"

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] On the 27th, the Democratic Party of Korea announced a resolution by party lawmakers for 'National Unity Political Reform,' stating, "Now is the time to end entrenched power struggles and move toward politics of national unity," and "All political forces supporting a multiparty system and political reform should come together." This is interpreted as an effort to incorporate opposition candidates such as Ahn Cheol-soo, Sim Sang-jung, and Kim Dong-yeon through the 'National Unity Political Reform Plan' promoted by the party and presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung.


On this day, Democratic Party lawmakers said in the resolution, "To overcome crises such as the infectious disease emergency and Russia's military actions amid domestic and international emergencies, we must unite the people's capabilities. The current politics, which thrive on conflict and division, cannot unite the people's strength," adding, "The Democratic Party will first relinquish vested interests and change politics."


They stated, "The Democratic Party will reflect and change first," saying, "We acknowledge the 'winner-takes-all politics' that eliminated election reform through satellite parties, the 'double standards politics' that turns a blind eye to our own faults, and the 'consumptive confrontational politics' disconnected from the realities of people's livelihoods. The Democratic Party reflects first."


They continued, "We must move toward 'national unity politics' that gathers diverse public sentiments," asserting, "We need to abandon the imperial presidency and establish a 'national unity government,' and instead of a winner-takes-all National Assembly, we must move toward a 'national unity National Assembly.'"


They added, "This is not just the Democratic Party's or Lee Jae-myung's claim," saying, "Ahn Cheol-soo's new politics, Sim Sang-jung's progressive politics, and Kim Dong-yeon's New Wave are all in the same direction."



They concluded, "We will stake the fate of the Democratic Party on changing politics," emphasizing, "Now is the optimal time and opportunity for political reform. All political forces supporting a multiparty system and political reform should come together."
