Handonghun: "Undonggwon Privileged Faction Leads Political Regression... Cheongsan Is the Spirit of the Times"

'Historical Evaluation of the Undonggwon Political Forces' Debate
Voices of Strong Criticism Against the 86 Generation Undonggwon Cartel

Han Dong-hoon, the Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, has repeatedly emphasized the need to purge the 86 Generation activist faction. He stated that "the purge of the privileged 86 activist faction is the spirit of the times."

At a forum titled "Historical Evaluation of the Activist Political Faction for the Purge of Unfairness and Privilege" held at the Korea Press Center, Chairman Han criticized 86 Generation politicians from activist backgrounds, saying they "have established themselves as the mainstream of South Korean politics over the past several decades, neglecting the people and their livelihoods while obstructing the country's development." The forum was jointly hosted by the Democratic Movement Comrades Association, the Barun Media Citizens' Action, and the New Jeondaehyup.

He said, "I always hold unwavering respect for the dedication and courage of those who participated in the democratization movement," and "I pay deep tribute, both then and now, to those who completed today's great liberal democracy, the Republic of Korea." However, regarding politicians from the student activist faction, he criticized, "The term 'activist cartel' has emerged because they have dominated key positions not only in the National Assembly but also in the government and the Blue House, maintaining their power," adding, "Instead of reflecting on past mistakes, they are desperate to survive in the upcoming April 10 general election to continue enjoying power."

Chairman Han emphasized, "Those who regard their past as activists as a privilege and lead political regression must now face the stern judgment of the people," and "We will do our utmost to present excellent figures to replace the privileged 86 activist faction so that they can fulfill their responsibilities and roles at the center of our politics as servants of the people."

On the 29th, at the People Power Party Emergency Committee meeting, he also pointed out, "Between Lim Jong-seok and Yoon Hee-sook, who do you think can revive the economy?" and criticized, "I want to ask whether those who have never earned money through their own hard work and have monopolized vested interests for decades solely based on their activist backgrounds have the right to talk about the people's livelihood economy."
