We agreed that fake news and derogatory language are not helpful.

In parallel, the Democratic Party finalized its rules for the upcoming national convention. The voting structure will allocate 70% of the weight to delegates and party members, with the remaining 30% coming from public opinion. This decision comes as the party prepares for leadership elections, with key figures like Kim Min-seok, Chung Jin-sang, and Song Young-gil vying for positions.

We agreed that prosecutorial reform is a very important task.

The political landscape also saw the Democratic Party taking the lead in the latter half of the 22nd National Assembly, securing leadership of 11 standing committees. Meanwhile, the People Power Party has been critical, labeling these appointments as 'Hohnam privileges.' President Yoon Suk Yeol reportedly dismissed these criticisms, calling them 'a drop in the bucket.'

Further political maneuvering involves the People Power Party's countdown to targeted disciplinary actions against members associated with 'pro-Lee' factions and 'anti-Jang Dong-hyuk' sentiments, potentially affecting 20-30 individuals. The article also touches upon ongoing investigations, including the consistency between Kim Keon-hee's statement and prosecutorial records, raising questions about a potential 'not guilty' verdict prepared by the prosecution. Additionally, an investigation into Hong Jang-won's case is mentioned as facing complexities.

Let's bring back the spirit of a strong party.
