Huang emphasizes conservative values at inauguration conference
“Squadron rules, all opinions are open”
4th term Lee Jong-bae announces candidacy for floor leader
Chairperson Hwang Woo-yeo, who was inaugurated as the new emergency response committee chair of the People Power Party, said in her inauguration speech on the 3rd, “We will solidify our identity as a conservative party.” Regarding this, some in the party pointed out, “Rather than find the cause of the loss of public support in the metropolitan area and innovate, they will remain in the role of a management-type emergency committee.”
Chairman Hwang held an inauguration press conference at the People Power Party headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul this morning and said, “Conservative values should not be deteriorated or damaged and degenerated into pseudo-conservatives,” and “If salt loses its taste, it is useless and is thrown on the ground.” . He said, “Not only will we prepare for the national convention, but we will not neglect the people’s livelihood and party innovation,” and “We will reform until the people say ‘it is enough’ and push for innovation that goes beyond the level of re-founding the party.”
Regarding the party-government relationship, he said, “I will talk openly and honestly.” While attention is being paid to whether the rules for electing the party leader and supreme council member by ‘100% of party members’ will be revised, Chairman Hwang said, “We are open to all opinions.”
Regarding the inauguration speech on this day, there was criticism within the party that “the will for innovation is not clear.” People Power Party lawmaker Yoon Sang-hyun publicly said, “Talking about strengthening conservative identity is like (then) Innovation Committee Chairman In Yo-han talking about unity with one voice after the crushing defeat in the by-election for the head of Gangseo-gu in Seoul,” and “Now is the time for innovation and change.” I should have said it was time for. “Despite repeated crushing defeats, pretending nothing happened is inviting another crushing defeat,” he pointed out. An elected representative from the metropolitan area also said, “If it means that the disorganized appearance shown by the People Power Party so far is not the true face of conservatives, I will agree, but if it means that the moderates should be abandoned, I cannot agree with Chairman Hwang.”
While the People Power Party was registering candidates for the floor leader election on the 5th, Rep. Lee Jong-bae (Chungju, North Chungcheong Province), who succeeded in his fourth term, submitted his candidacy vote on this day. He is the second after Rep. Song Seok-jun (Icheon, Gyeonggi Province). Rep. Seong Il-jong (Seosan-Taean, South Chungcheong Province), who had been criticized for being negative, decided not to run, and Rep. Choo Kyung-ho (Daegu Dalseong) said, “I will reach a conclusion on the morning of the 5th.”
Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon said in a YouTube broadcast that day, “We need to elect a strong floor leader who can speak out when the president’s actions are at odds with public sentiment. “I am worried that those who are classified as the so-called ‘Yoon Haek-gwan’ (Key officials of President Yoon Seok-yeol) will be able to do such a thing,” he said.
