Jang Dong-hyuk, leader of the People Power Party, will conclude nationwide outdoor protests after visiting Yongin on the 23rd and Gimhae and Daegu on the 25th. However, he is expected to continue visiting the ongoing blockade protest at the Jamsil counting center (handball stadium) in Olympic Park, located in Songpa District, Seoul.
Park Sung-hoon, the party's chief spokesperson, stated after a Supreme Council meeting on the 20th that Jang is committed to ensuring that the voices of the '2030' generation heard during his visits are accepted within the political system.
As a result, Jang is expected to take on a role in bringing citizens' voices into the National Assembly by participating in a special committee for electoral reform within the party. Park noted, "Jang has played a significant role in elevating important issues such as reforming the National Election Commission and protecting citizens' fundamental rights to a national agenda," adding that Jang is focusing on clearly conveying the voices from the field and uniting his support base.
However, regarding Jang's continued calls for a complete re-election, Park mentioned, "During the last party meeting, we officially decided not to discuss a complete re-election within our party." He added that he believes this political slogan is effective and beneficial for negotiations with the Democratic Party.
Within the party, there are also calls for members to actively support Jang's efforts at Olympic Park.
Park Jun-tae, head of Jang's secretariat, reported that "just over 40 of our party's lawmakers have visited the Olympic Park site," noting that citizens are evaluating who has come and who has stayed away.
He emphasized, "If we do not participate in this civic movement, we will be remembered as politicians who ignored the aspirations of the people in the future," urging all party lawmakers to join in this effort to protect voting rights, regardless of faction or political stance.
Meanwhile, Park dismissed questions regarding rumors of independent lawmaker Han Dong-hoon's return to the People Power Party and the activation of the Maple Emergency Committee, stating, "Now is the time for the People Power Party to focus on offensive strategies against the opposition, not to discuss the return of specific individuals."
