Lee Jun-seok "Reform Party Will Address Real Debates Like Abortion and Dignified Death"

Lee Jun-seok, leader of the Reform New Party, stated on the 6th, "We will face 'real' debates that the public can feel, not only about dignified death but also about unification education and gender sensitivity education."

At the Reform New Party's Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Lee said, "Recently, in France, President Macron amended the constitution by introducing Article 34, which enshrined abortion rights in the constitution," adding, "This is a debate that our country will have to go through someday."

He continued, "There are those who support it, calling it women's right to self-determination, and those who oppose it, believing it infringes on the fetus's right to life. Both sides have valid arguments," emphasizing, "From abortion issues to dignified death, unification education, and gender sensitivity education, we will face real debates that the public can feel, such as state infringement on citizens' ideological freedom, and national and social censorship of institutional and cultural content."

Lee added, "This should be the reason why a political group like the Reform New Party exists beyond the extreme confrontation of the two major parties."

He criticized, "Politics in Yeouido is reaching a tipping point. The two major parties have long given up on winning votes from the majority of the public," and said, "There have been countless days of nothing but negative competition. The clear fact is that both parties only care about their own hardcore supporters."

He then pointed out, "The core problem is not a specific camp within the Democratic Party or the People Power Party, but Yeouido politics itself, trapped within its own fortress," adding, "They may be busy holding their own revival meetings now, but the public's lack of interest beyond the fortress will soon return as a fierce blaze."
