Handonghun: "No Time for Internal Power Struggles... Let's Stop Three Kingdoms Politics"

Han Dong-hoon, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, said on the 29th, "Our time and energy are limited, and we do not have time and energy to engage in internal power struggles among ourselves."

At the first Emergency Response Committee meeting held at the National Assembly that afternoon, Chairman Han emphasized, "Let us use that time and energy to create good policies for our fellow citizens, explain them, and stand against the distortion and agitation of the opposing party."

He added, "We should not engage in palace intrigues or form alliances like in historical dramas or Three Kingdoms politics within our party," and said, "Let us take the lead in doing what we have to do and not hold back."

Chairman Han referred to the pivot play in basketball, saying, "It is a foul if both feet move. We have gathered to win for our fellow citizens and the future of the country," and added, "In that process, we must employ every possible strategy, but I promise that one foot will never stray from the justification and principles of the public good."

The pivot play in basketball refers to a player who has possession of the ball moving one foot while keeping the other foot planted to avoid opponents trying to steal the ball.

Chairman Han said, "If we lift both feet and play by any means necessary just to win, we are no different from the Democratic Party," and added, "Our determination to win while maintaining the justification and principles befitting our society will rather lead us to victory."

Meanwhile, on the same day, the People Power Party appointed first-term lawmaker Jang Dong-hyeok as the new Secretary-General responsible for the practical affairs of next year's general election nominations.

Chairman Han explained, "Lawmaker Jang has experience in administration, judiciary, and legislature, and has also served as an education official closely related to the lives of the people. I thought he would be a great help in establishing our party's principles and standards, so we brought him on board."

Former Chosun Ilbo public opinion survey specialist reporter Hong Young-rim was appointed as the head of the party's think tank, the Yeouido Research Institute.

Chairman Han stated the reason for the appointment, saying, "To win the general election and to be seen by the public as a truly competent conservative group they can firmly trust, it is necessary for the Yeouido Research Institute to develop further as a professional organization."
