[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] The Democratic Party of Korea congratulated Representative Joo Ho-young on his election as the floor leader of the People Power Party on the 19th, and urged, "Now, we hope that the People Power Party will engage in ‘people-oriented’ livelihood politics focused on communication and cooperation, rather than the ‘Yoon-baragi’ power struggle."

Lee Su-jin, the Democratic Party floor spokesperson, said in a briefing on the same day, "Today, the People Power Party elected Representative Joo as the new floor leader," and added, "First of all, we congratulate Representative Joo Ho-young on his election as floor leader."

The spokesperson continued, "The newly elected floor leader mentioned ‘support for the vulnerable, solidarity with Honam, youth politics, and resolving wealth disparity’ after his election," and stated, "We hope that the ‘solidarity’ mentioned by Floor Leader Joo will become true solidarity with the people."

She went on to say, "In the midst of a severe economic crisis, policies centered on conglomerates and large corporations do not represent solidarity with the vulnerable," and criticized, "The dismantling of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family will weaken gender equality. Viewing public jobs for the elderly merely as a cost is not an attitude of solidarity with the vulnerable."

The spokesperson added, "Youth politics should be a process where youth become the main agents of their lives, not political consumption targets," and emphasized, "Honam is not a political target but a region that holds a history to empathize with and remember. Wealth disparity cannot be resolved by lowering corporate taxes for conglomerates and large corporations or by cutting taxes for the rich."
