Kim Min-seok, leader of the Democratic Party, urged the People Power Party to respond regarding the push for a constitutional amendment, following President Lee Jae-myung's declaration of a 'no re-election' stance.
In a recent appearance on the Democratic Party's YouTube channel 'Minty07', Kim stated, "When the People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk mentioned the President's 'no re-election' remarks, he referred to me as the 'greatest public servant.'"
He added, "Voices within the People Power Party are already emerging, suggesting that if the re-election issue is settled, discussions on constitutional amendments should begin," pressing the party's leadership for a decision.
The People Power Party has previously demanded President Lee's 'no re-election' declaration as a prerequisite for discussing constitutional amendments. However, after Lee's press conference on September 18, where he stated, 'I have no intention of seeking re-election,' the People Power Party dismissed the idea, asserting, 'We will not discuss constitutional amendments under the current government.'
Kim also announced plans to increase his on-site engagements, revealing that he visited a city bus depot early in the morning on the same day. He stated, 'I will focus all efforts on people's livelihoods, policies, and on-site activities. I plan to visit locations every morning as much as possible.'
He continued, 'If I start by being the 'Democratic Party protecting the people's dawn,' our party members and local committee chairs will also inspect the field daily. I intend to propose policies monthly and conduct blind tests, rewarding those that perform well.'
