"Must Waive Immunity from Arrest to Receive Nomination in General Election"

Han Dong-hoon, the Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, announced on the 26th that he is preparing for a showdown with the Democratic Party of Korea. Chairman Han stated, "The Democratic Party led by Lee Jae-myung is colluding with the privileged activist faction and the Gaeddal totalitarianism, and we must stop them from destroying the country to save themselves." Regarding next year's general election, Han promised to 'dedicate himself' without running for either a constituency seat or proportional representation.

In his acceptance speech at the People Power Party headquarters, Chairman Han said, "The ruling party, whose primary goal should be to prevent serious crimes from going unpunished according to the law, is recklessly destroying the present and future of this country. We must put an end to the privileged activist politics that have used this party as a host for decades, with the 386 generation becoming 486, 586, and 686, showing receipts and trying to dominate and teach the people for generations."

He added, "If things continue as they are, the difficult reality that reasonable people face?that we may not be able to stop the reckless and authoritarian actions of the current Lee Jae-myung-led Democratic Party?is frightening for all of us. Therefore, we must decide to be courageous. I have decided to be courageous," expressing his determination.

He also expressed his intention not to become a member of the National Assembly in next year's general election. Chairman Han said, "I will not run in a constituency nor in proportional representation. I will do everything for victory, but I will not take the fruits of that victory for myself."

Chairman Han called for a sober reflection within the People Power Party. He said, "Even though the Democratic Party is surreal, with its party leader facing criminal trials for serious crimes three or four times a week, why can't the People Power Party overwhelmingly defeat them? Let's reflect on this together soberly," and urged, "When the people make reasonable criticisms, let's respond and change immediately without delay."

Regarding the nomination for next year's general election, he said, "We will present only those who do not consider public office as a shield and who have no sense of privilege to the people. Our party will nominate only those who promise to give up parliamentary immunity, and although it should not happen, if anyone breaks this promise later, we will take strong measures such as immediate expulsion."

On the special investigation law concerning First Lady Kim Geon-hee, which is considered the first major task after his inauguration, he described it as a "law for the general election" but said, "We will discuss sufficiently how to respond as a party."

Regarding questions about the relationship between the party and the presidential office, he emphasized, "The president and the ruling party, and the ruling party and the government are institutions that perform their respective roles within the constitutional framework. There is no issue of horizontal or vertical hierarchy. They complement each other and have a partnership relationship. We do our work, and the president does the president's work."

About the scheduled meeting with former People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok, who is expected to leave the party on the 27th, he said, "I do not have plans to meet with specific individuals." However, he added, "Our party is a liberal democratic party, and the more people with diverse thoughts gather, the stronger we become. Once I take office, I will actively meet and listen to many people with diverse views regardless of faction."

Meanwhile, Chairman Han declared a policy direction in a declarative form, saying, "Stopping the reckless actions of Representative Lee and the Gaeddal totalitarianism and the privileged activist faction is an urgent reason why we must win, but that alone cannot be the goal of our victory, our politics, and leadership." He stated, "We must show the people sophisticated policies to prepare for the predetermined future of demographic disaster; policies that firmly protect citizens from crime and disasters; policies that help ordinary people and the vulnerable regardless of faction; policies that accelerate scientific and industrial innovation in an era where security, economy, and technology converge; policies that allow capital markets to drive private autonomy, creativity, and economic development while leaving no gaps in investor protection; policies that protect national interests within the global order, including broad and deep Korea-US cooperation; principled North Korea policies that have both justification and practicality; balanced responses to climate change; policies that improve youth lives from the youth perspective; policies that respect the elderly; policies that support regional economies; and policies that improve the convenience of life for all citizens."
