The Democratic Party Forms Task Force for Political Stability... Appoints 3-Term Lawmaker I Yang-su as Chairperson

Jeong Hee-yong, Park Soo-min, Seo Ji-young, Ahn Sang-hoon, and Kim So-hee Appointed as Committee Members

The People Power Party appointed Rep. Lee Yang-su (3rd term, Gangwon Sokcho·Inje·Goseong·Yangyang) as the chairman of the Task Force (TF) for Political Stabilization on the 9th, which will discuss political stabilization, support for national administration stability, and legal support.

The People Power Party announced that after a five-hour-long party meeting starting at 11 a.m. that day, it approved the agenda to appoint Rep. Lee as the chairman of the Political Stabilization TF. Along with Rep. Lee, members such as Rep. Jeong Hee-yong, Rep. Park Soo-min, Rep. Seo Ji-young, Rep. Ahn Sang-hoon, and Rep. Kim So-hee were initially appointed to the TF, with one or two more members expected to be added.

Rep. Lee explained, "Regarding the issue of 'how to quickly reorganize the party and stabilize the political situation early,' we will immediately hold meetings to review and decide on various matters and have opportunities to report to the party and the public."

When asked by reporters whether the issue of shortening the presidential term would be discussed, Rep. Lee replied, "Since the TF itself aims to stabilize the political situation early, I understand there are no restrictions on topics or other limitations," adding, "It would be correct to say that this is also included."

Rep. Lee further elaborated that the TF would discuss without restrictions issues such as early resignation deadlines and presidential stepping down.

Regarding the special investigation law on treason charges against President Yoon Seok-yeol, proposed by the party’s moderate faction member Rep. Kim Yong-tae, he said, "Various proposals were made at today’s party meeting," and added, "We will consider all those proposals one by one to determine which is the most logical and reasonable."

On the policy for impeachment voting, he explained, "No conclusion was reached at today’s party meeting," and added, "A decision will be made before the plenary session is scheduled and the vote begins."

He also commented on the Democratic Party’s plan to push for a vote on the impeachment motion at the plenary session on the 14th, saying, "We will try to present something that can reach a conclusion as quickly as possible."
