Jang Dong-hyuk, the leader of the People Power Party, proposed on September 11 that Kim Min-seok, the leader of the Democratic Party, meet to discuss the agricultural land survey issue.
In a post on his Facebook page, Jang formally requested, "I hope we can create a first example of cooperation between the ruling and opposition parties."
Referring to a notebook belonging to Kim that was captured by the media on September 9, Jang noted, "The phrase 'agricultural land survey' was written in Kim's notebook. It seems he is aware of the farmers' concerns." He criticized the government for making excuses rather than addressing the issue, while the ruling party and leftist civic groups claim it is an ideological offensive.
Jang stated, "The agricultural land transactions have effectively come to a standstill, and land prices have plummeted," adding that both landowners and tenants are engulfed in anxiety and anger.
He directed his criticism at President Lee Jae-myung, saying, "This situation was created by this administration. Without proper explanations, they treated ordinary farmers as speculators," and emphasized that the agricultural land survey was initiated by a single remark from the president.
Jang expressed optimism, saying, "Since Kim has noted this in his notebook, it seems he is willing to resolve the issue. I hope we can tackle this matter together, even if we set aside other issues for now." He concluded by stating, "I am waiting for your response, in any form you prefer."
