Union: “Research staff has been reduced by half, paralyzing functions”
“Director Hong Young-rim, who committed personnel abuse, must step down.”
The People’s Power think tank, the Yeouido Research Institute (YEOYEON) labor union, issued a statement on the 26th, saying, “Even during the time when the opposition party was shrunk due to impeachment, the policy research team, which had at least 10 people, has decreased to 4,” adding, “There is no researcher majoring in economics.” claimed. The union also claimed that Hong Young-rim, director of the Yeoyeon Yeo Research Institute, had issues with personnel abuse and virtually demanded his resignation. After the crushing defeat in the general election, the self-reliance within the ruling party spread to think tanks. Director Hong was recruited by former Emergency Response Committee Chairman Han Dong-hoon.
The Yeo-yeon union said on this day, “As revealed by the defeat in this general election, there is a need for intensive research by generation, such as the 2030 generation and the 40-50 generation,” adding, “The problem, however, is that it cannot be realized under the current Yeo-yeon structure.” At the same time, he argued, “The fact that there is not a single economic expert in the think tank of the conservative party, which is confident that it is strong in the economy, is news in itself.”
The union claimed, “There was only one person with a doctoral degree, and the only person majoring in economics received retaliatory measures equivalent to dismissal due to Director Hong’s abuse of power.” At the same time, “Director Hong is firmly maintaining his position even though another appointed party official resigned after taking responsibility for the loss in the general election. He said, “I think it is necessary to verify whether Director Hong can become the subject of reform to normalize the government.”
Director Hong is a former public opinion poll reporter at the Chosun Ilbo and was recruited through direct contact from former Chairman Han. It is said that in this general election, there was criticism among the candidates that “Yeo Yeon did not provide proper opinion poll information” and “We had a hard time planning an election strategy because we did not hand over the local election situation analysis report on time.”
Yeoyeon was established as Korea’s first political party policy research institute during the Democratic Liberal Party in 1995. Even while the name of the party changed, it maintained its name. It is known that this is the first time that internal reporting has been made public at Yeoyeon.
Director Hong said in a phone call, “It is overall different from the facts. “We are considering legal action for reporting information that is different from the facts,” he said.
