[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the 25th, the People Power Party held its first workshop since the launch of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration, discussing under the theme of "Integration, Livelihood, and a Great Leap into the Future." Joo Ho-young, the Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, emphasized, "Even if the opposition party acts lowly, we must act nobly to gain the public's trust."

In his greeting remarks that day, Chairman Joo said, "Even if there is opposition from the opposition party, we must gain momentum for state affairs through the support of the people."

He added, "If we return to our original intention and work hard, it will work," and said, "Even if the opposition party tries to hold us back, the only way is to win the people's hearts by showing that 'People Power is truly doing the right thing, so we should support them' and break through."

Floor Leader Kwon Seong-dong pointed out, "Over the past 100 days, the ruling Democratic Party of Korea, as the majority party, has been obsessed with discrediting the new government and obstructing livelihood issues by any means," and said, "During this August extraordinary session of the National Assembly, conflicts between the ruling and opposition parties occurred in various standing committees."

He continued, "I suspect that the Democratic Party is deliberately provoking conflicts," and predicted, "Once the new leader of the Democratic Party is elected, the party will raise the level of offensive against the government and ruling party to consolidate its support base while asserting the presence of the opposition." The Democratic Party's party convention is scheduled for the 28th, and the election of Representative Lee Jae-myung, who has recorded nearly 80% of the cumulative vote share, is considered certain.

Floor Leader Kwon said, "Nevertheless, the People Power Party will make this regular session of the National Assembly a great leap session," and added, "As the ruling party, we will prioritize addressing livelihood recovery tasks and swiftly promote common pledges from the last presidential and local elections, such as a soldier's monthly salary of 2 million won and tax reductions for first-time homebuyers, through bipartisan agreement."

He continued, "Our direction is solely for the livelihood and solely for the people," and added, "To repay the support the people gave us in the last presidential and local elections, we must work twice or thrice as hard as the opposition party."
