The ‘Third Zone’ new party figures showed up in full at the new reform party founding convention held on the 20th. They emphasized the need for a ‘Big Tent’, but Lee Jun-seok, the new representative of the New Reform Party, took a cautious stance, saying, “I think the golden time for the Big Tent has already passed.”
At the founding convention on this day, participants included Kim Jong-in, former People Power Emergency Response Committee Chairman, Lee Nak-yeon, New Future Talent Recruitment Committee Chairman, Kim Jong-min, Cho Eung-cheon, and Jeong Tae-geun, co-chairs of the Future Coalition Preparation Committee, Yang Hyang-ja, representative of Hope for Korea, Geum Tae-seop, co-chairman of New Choice, and former lawmaker Ryu Ho-jeong. Personnel from the 3rd zone gathered together.
Kim Jong-in, former chairman of the People Power Party’s Emergency Response Committee, said, “It will be very difficult to achieve political success if we all live separately,” and added, “I think we will be able to achieve good harmony if we abandon petty interests and set goals with broad hopes for the future.” said. He continued, “I am confident that you will fully achieve your intended goal if you come together in harmony and return as a single leader in the April general election. I ask you to pursue your political goals in creating a Republic of Korea where the people are happier.”
Lee Nak-yeon, chairman of the New Future (tentative name) Talent Recruitment Committee, said, “We are experiencing horribly what happens when people without experience and preparation take charge of state affairs, and we are painfully experiencing what happens when incompetent and corrupt people monopolize politics. “We know what changes the times demand and what kind of politics they want,” he said. He continued, “We must do this together. The task is very urgent, but it is by no means an easy task. I know that it cannot be solved by the efforts of just one or two people. I hope we all cooperate for the task of the times. “He said.
Cho Eung-cheon, chairman of the Joint Founding Preparation Committee of the Future Coalition, likened the two large parties to an oversized elephant that is disturbing the country, saying, “The people seem to have similar intentions toward us, so we order them to drive out the elephant, regardless of whether it is short or long.” He added, “If possible, one “I promise to follow the people’s orders. The New Reform Party does not hesitate to go with me,” he said.
Yang Hyang-ja, CEO of Korea Hope, also said, “We started from different places, but we are going to the same place. The reason for founding Korea Hope is the same as all of you. Let us believe in each other and our great people. Let’s hold hands together. “Let’s open the door to the future wide. Let’s go beyond the democratization movement that completed the national system and create a bigger Republic of Korea through the science and technology movement,” he said.
People in the 3rd zone unanimously said, “We need to join forces,” but it is unclear whether it will become a big tent where everyone can come together. Representative Lee said, “I think the golden time for the big tent has already passed,” and added, “The process of founding the party will not be very smooth as it overlaps with the Lunar New Year.”
He said, “Isn’t it a comedy to the members to ask for a merger the day after the party’s founding? I hope that through realistic discussions, the party will not be founded with the mindset of ‘We can do it too’,” and added, “To avoid misunderstandings in that regard, the New Reform Party will center on Policy Committee Chairman Kim Yong-nam. “We plan to faithfully engage in integration discussions,” he said.
In particular, Representative Lee said, “It is difficult to work with people who try to use political tricks,” and added, “In my experience with the Bareunmirae Party, I have seen a lot of people splitting up for self-interest or using evil tactics to ostracize someone when the two forces are united.” “I will not be defeated by you,” he emphasized. He continued, “I hope there is a clear policy competition. I hope there are no more ‘Lee Jae-myung and Yoon Seok-yeol are bad’ elections.”
