Yonhap News After the crushing defeat in the general elections on April 10, the first official seminar of the People Power Party was held on the 18th to analyze the causes of the defeat, led by MP Sang-hyeon Yoon (Incheon-dong, Michuhol-eul). Among the elected members, only those from the metropolitan area appeared, including Congressman Yoon, Kim Yong-tae (Pocheon and Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do) and Kim Jae-seop (Dobong-gap, Seoul). in the Yeongnam region, which occupies the party mainstream, “an innovative emergency committee is needed.”
Rep. Yoon, who had advocated the “metropolitan area crisis theory” even before the general election, cited “the limitations of the central party in Yeongnam” as the structural cause of the crushing defeat in the “2024 general election” and the overwhelming defeat seminar on the path to conservative reconstruction held today at the National Assembly building. Rep. Yoon pointed out, “The ruling party appears to be calm even after conceding 192 seats to the opposition in a crushing defeat unprecedented in its history.”
Rep. Yoon argued that an “innovative emergency response committee” was needed to analyze the causes of the crushing defeat and prepare alternatives instead of the “emergency response management committee” promoted by the party. As for the possibility that frontrunner Yoon Jae-ok could directly serve as the chairman of the “management-type emergency committee”, Congressman Yoon drew a line by saying, “He cannot be exempt from defeat in the general election,” and said added, “He has to show up to change, fight and shout. “First of all a new person has to come,” he said.
President-elect Kim Jae-seop said: “The temperature of the elected candidates (centered in Yeongnam) and the defeated candidates is very different. He criticized: “If you want to create a white paper on the general election, it should contain the heartfelt voices of those who lost in metropolitan area elections” and “Holding an early national convention without such a thing is a bad political move that exposes failure.” He repeatedly stressed the need to change the rules for the national convention to be held with ‘100% party members’ in a situation where the proportion of party members in Yeongnam is around 40%, and said, “It shouldn’t be our policy. “We will have to proactively increase it to “5 out of 5,” he said.
President-elect Kim Yong-tae said, “The driving force to drive national reform has been lost due to the crushing defeat in the general election, and the reason is that trust in fairness has been shattered,” and “President Yoon Seok-yeol must revive the justice of the law by himself.” This is interpreted to mean that it is necessary for President Yoon to review the “Law on Special Prosecutor on First Lady Kim Kun-hee” promoted by the opposition party.
Experts also expressed criticism. Park Seong-min, head of Min’s political consultancy, said: “(The reason why the leadership is mainly Yeongnam’s) is because there are no people in the metropolitan area, they will make everyone run away, then they will shoot in the back and kill everyone , and then do it because there are no people?” he said. “I hope some MPs from Yeongnam don’t show up to the convention,” he said.
Political critic Park Sang-byeong said, “Should we stop Yeongnam people from appearing at the national convention” and “Is the People Power Party really the People Power Party? “I see it as ‘the power of Yeongnam,’” he said. Furthermore, “President Yoon does not have the strength to return to the limelight. He also called for a complete separation between party and government, saying: “We must break away from President Yoon to rebuild conservatism.”
