The leadership of the National Assembly also consists of members of the pro-Myung faction.

Representative Lee Jae-myung soon after Park Chan-dae (right), the new leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, was elected leader of the 22nd National Assembly first floor leader’s election general meeting held at the Hall of ‘National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul on the morning of the 3rd Take a commemorative photo with. In his speech after winning the election, the new leader Park said: “I will become a Democratic Party that fights as it works and a Democratic Party that acts so that people can feel political efficacy.” News 1 “I think it means that we should unite under the banner of Representative Lee Jae-myung to overcome the difficult situation and put a brake on the runaway government of the prosecutorial dictatorship.”

Park Chan-dae, the leader of the pro-Myung faction (pro-Lee Jae-myung) who was elected front-runner to lead the Democratic Party of Korea in the 22nd National Assembly, explained why he ran as only candidate candidate and received overwhelming support from his first day in office, saying: “Centered by the party leader, I will lead the party in an orderly manner,” he stressed. During the floor leader’s election process, Representative Lee personally directed the trafficking of candidates from the pro-Myung faction and supported the independent candidacy of floor leader Park. Within the party, there were concerns that Representative Lee’s unipolar system would be strengthened, with one assessment that “the leader of the Park plan is a person who will follow Representative Lee’s intentions, just like the leader of the plan during the period of President Kim Dae-jung (DJ).”

● “Representative Lee supports Park Chan-dae’s solo candidacy”

It has been 19 years since Chung Sye-kyun, then a Uri Party congressman, ran as the sole candidate in the Democratic Party primaries in 2005. Whereas Rep. Chung was a relief pitcher who stepped in to resolve the party’s crisis, It is considered unprecedented for a party that won a landslide general election victory to virtually name a leader. Because floor leader Park was running alone, the debate process for floor leader candidates was also omitted.

Initially, fourth-term MPs Kim Min-seok and Seo Young-kyo, as well as third-term MPs Kim Byeong-gi, Kim Seong-hwan, Park Joo-min and Han Byeong-do, were considering running for office . However, the declaration not to run for office continued as Rep. Lee directly mentioned Rep. Park’s candidacy for floor leader in a closed-door leadership meeting and acted to direct traffic, effectively recommending that certain candidates not run would nominate. A re-elected lawmaker from the pro-Myeong faction said: “We cannot behave like the previous leader of the non-Myeong faction (non-Lee Jae-Myung) and make a fuss by putting our beliefs first. “Nowadays, the most important thing is the ability to understand Representative Lee’s intentions and carry them out,” he said. “In this regard, Floor Leader Park has received high praise.”

There were also concerns within the party that the hall leader’s status might revert to the level of hall leader during the time of the imperial president. In the past, the ringleader was generally appointed by the party president and had a strong character as the president’s agent. However, in 2003, when the Uri Party, which split from the Democratic Party, emphasized the “hall party”, eliminated the hall leader and used the name of hall leader, the status of hall leader is been strengthened to the same level as the party leader. It has become a “two-top” system, with the party leader comprising the entire party and the floor leader overseeing pending issues within the National Assembly’s negotiating team. A Democratic Party official said: “This time, Representative Lee blocked Floor Leader Park, so it will not be easy for Floor Leader Park to show a conflict of opinion with Representative Lee or manage the work according to its own will, such as previously.

● Lee “There should be no blocking of the bill due to opposition to the party line.”

It is believed that through the election of the leader, the Democratic Party has transformed into a perfect “Pro-Myung Party” ahead of the 22nd National Assembly. After being elected as the frontrunner, Leader Park bowed deeply to the elected members in greeting and emphasized on this day: “I will break with the Democratic Party of the past that strictly observed and hesitated before acting.” From the first day of his inauguration, he began to keep pace with Representative Lee by advocating the preparation of a supplementary budget (supplemental budget) to pay the livelihood recovery support fund for all citizens, which was the Representative Lee’s key pledge in the general election. Regarding the composition of the National Assembly, he said: “We will definitely guarantee the Democratic Party’s control of the Legislative and Judiciary Committee and the Steering Committee of the National Assembly.”

Representative Lee also attended the general meeting of elected representatives who elected leader Park that day and gave a 12-minute speech, saying: “(In the 21st National Assembly) I have seen cases where bills are difficult to decide on the basis of The party line was broken due to the opposition for personal reasons, so it is really right.” He said: “I hope that the new elected officials will at least avoid such incidents” and set out to establish discipline within the party. There is a possibility that Representative Lee will also be reappointed at the national convention in August this year.

The new leadership of the National Assembly is also made up of diehard members of the pro-Myung faction. Congressman Park Seong-jun (re-elected), who was the main spokesperson for this representative system, was transferred to the position of senior vice president for domestic operations. Representative Kim Yong-min (re-elect), considered a hardline member of the pro-Myung faction, was appointed senior vice president for policy in the National Assembly.

People Power Party chief spokesperson Jeong Hee-yong said in a comment: “Leader Park’s announcement that he will secure the Legislative and Judiciary Committee and the Steering Committee of the Democratic Party amounts to a unilateral declaration that he will dominate the 22nd National Assembly”. “, adding: “General elections mean that the main opposition parties can control and influence the National Assembly as they like.” “If you thought about the will of the people, you were clearly wrong,” he said.
