"Don't Turn the Innovation Committee into Puppets"… Yoon Geon-young's Sharp Critique

"Full Authority Must Be Delegated to the New Innovation Organization Leadership"
"Innovation Committee Chair Should Not Be a Politician"

Yoon Geon-young, a key figure of the 'Pro-Moon (Chinmun)' faction and a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, raised his voice to the party leadership, saying, "Comprehensive innovation that lets go of everything is the answer," and insisted that the leadership must delegate full authority to the new innovation body.

On the 23rd, Yoon said through his social media (SNS), "Our innovation must start from the determination to let go," emphasizing this point.

He stated, "There is no need to emphasize the importance of next year's general election. However, the Confucian-like saying of 'winning the general election' has no meaning now. What matters is what we will do," adding, "The factor that determines victory or defeat will ultimately be who changes more. It will be visible who is more desperate through who lets go more."

Yoon said, "The role of the 'innovation body (Innovation Committee)' to be created through the Democratic Party's parliamentary meeting lies here. If it is just to make a superficial appearance and pretend, there is no reason to create it in the first place," and added, "For the Innovation Committee to succeed and lead to victory in the general election, the most important thing is the authority of the Innovation Committee. It must have full authority."

He argued that the party leadership must delegate full authority to the new innovation body to show the Democratic Party's desperation to voters. He said, "The party leadership must boldly delegate authority. They must be able to get involved in everything without hesitation or restraint," and warned, "The moment the Innovation Committee becomes a 'puppet,' the next general election will be a defeat no matter what."

He also insisted that the chairperson of the Innovation Committee should be someone who can see things from the perspective of the people, not a member of the National Assembly. He said, "The Innovation Committee chairperson must be someone capable of that. Some suggest appointing a member of the National Assembly, but that should not be the case," explaining, "Now is the time to see from the people's perspective, not from Yeouido's or the lawmakers' viewpoint."

Finally, he said, "The scope of innovation must not be limited. We must come up with measures that can transform the Democratic Party to the level of re-founding," and warned, "The moment we start calculating to preserve even a little, we must not forget that the only path to victory disappears."
