"Opposition to Yoon's Political Return, Reflecting Leader Jang's Stance" People Power Party Issues 'Severance from Yoon' Resolution (Update)

At the March 9 General Assembly, All Lawmakers United
"Unanimous Agreement, Including Chairman Jang Donghyuk"

All members of the National Assembly from the People Power Party on March 9 declared their opposition to calls for the political return of former President Yoon Suk-yeol, effectively making a statement of “absolute severance from Yoon (Jeol Yoon).”

On the afternoon of the same day, the People Power Party released a “Resolution by All People Power Party Lawmakers” containing this stance at a general meeting of its lawmakers.

Song Unseok, floor leader of the People Power Party, is heading to the podium to speak at the party meeting held on the 9th at the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul.

In the resolution, the People Power Party stated, “We once again sincerely apologize to the people for the great confusion and disappointment caused by the wrongful proclamation of the 12·3 Martial Law.”

The statement continued, “We are clearly opposed to all demands for the political return of former President Yoon Suk-yeol,” emphasizing, “Neither the Republic of Korea nor the People Power Party can ever go back to the past.” It then added, “With a renewed spirit, our People Power Party will resolutely move forward toward the future together with the people.”

The People Power Party also declared, “We will halt all actions and remarks that intensify internal conflicts and instead pursue grand unity,” pledging, “We will cut off any words and actions that disrupt the unity of the party or bind the party to the frames of the past.” The party further stated its commitment to unity by saying, “We will focus all of our capabilities solely on the people.”

The People Power Party asserted, “The normalization of state affairs can only begin based on the constitutional principle of checks and balances founded on political equilibrium between the ruling and opposition parties,” and added, “To counter the unconstitutional recklessness of the Lee Jaemyung administration, we will stand in solidarity with all citizens who agree with the defense of liberal democracy, the prevention of judicial destruction, and the respect for constitutional values.”

The People Power Party also stated, “We will resolutely fight to unite all citizens who care for and love our country, in order to protect the constitutional values of the Republic of Korea and the freedom of its people,” adding, “In this way, we will secure victory in the upcoming June 3 local elections.”

According to the People Power Party, the resolution released on this day also reflects the intentions of party leader Jang Donghyuk, who had previously supported the “Yoon Again” line. Song Unseok, floor leader of the People Power Party, explained to reporters after the announcement of the resolution, “The resolution was drafted with the agreement of all attending lawmakers, including Representative Jang.”
