PPP: Jang Dong-hyuk and Chung Jin-shik creating positive synergy

The People Power Party (PPP) has asserted that its dual leadership structure, comprising party leader Jang Dong-hyuk and floor leader Chung Jin-shik, is generating positive synergy, countering recent assessments that the two are out of sync.

“

The party leader is focusing on the issue of infringement of the people's basic rights due to the erosion of suffrage, and the floor leader is collecting opinions from lawmakers to lead the struggle against the opposition in various ways.

Park Sung-hoon, the senior spokesperson, explained that Jang is concentrating on the infringement of basic rights due to ballot shortages, while Chung is gathering opinions from lawmakers to lead the party's confrontation with the opposition. Park emphasized that the party leadership's priority is to address the issue of suffrage erosion, ensuring it is not overlooked.

Regarding the potential abolition of supplementary investigation rights, Park noted strong public sentiment against the police monopolizing judicial authority, citing the 'Jang Yoon-gi incident.' He stated that the party's stance on maintaining these rights will be decided in a general meeting on Monday, July 13th, after which legislative action will be pursued.

“

If the party's position is decided in the general meeting next Monday (13th), we will pursue legislation related to the maintenance of supplementary investigation rights.

The party acknowledged that internal conflicts have become more visible following the recent local elections, contributing to a dip in approval ratings. However, Park stressed that disciplinary actions are a matter of party principles and apply equally to all members without exception. The party aims to resolve these internal issues while pushing forward with its legislative agenda.
