Democratic Party Kim Boo-gyeom’s campaign committee ‘excludes supporters of eliminated candidates’ closed strategic election
Former Prime Minister Kim Boo-gyeom, who joined the Democratic Party's campaign committee, made a statement of 'apologizing to the people' by 'excluding supporters of eliminated candidates', followed by a statement by Go Min-jung on the return of Supreme Council member, marking the beginning of the 'closed election' system in the name of 'blocking government runaway'.
Former Prime Minister Kim said at the Democratic Party's election committee chairman acceptance conference on the 11th, "Many citizens do not sympathize with whether the nomination principles of transparency, fairness, and the public's expectations have been well observed." It was also disappointing that there was a lack of understandable explanations and a warm message of integration. “I apologize to the people,” he said, ruling out an “apology” to the “eliminated candidates and supporters.” At a press conference, he said, “The reason I came back to the party is for one thing: incompetence, irresponsibility, and no vision. “This is because we must send a warning and protect the last bastion of the legislature,” he said, adding, “We must heal past wounds and move forward with a focus only on the people in the spirit of unity and solidarity.” He revealed his control strategy for the open election campaign of party democracy.
Former Prime Minister Kim went on to announce his election strategy of ‘strengthening crackdowns on political parties,’ saying, “If I join the election committee, I will resolutely prevent anything that harms the party’s harmony and integration and goes against winning the general election.” The Democratic Party’s joint election committee includes former Prime Minister Kim and Representative Lee Jae-myung. Next, former representative Lee Hae-chan, a ‘cell phone party information strategy election campaigner’, is the co-chairman.
Supreme Council member Ko Min-jung, who had resigned in opposition to Lee Jae-myeong's nomination, returned and said that the goal of the election campaign was 'solidarity to block the runaway Yoon Seok-yeol administration', and strengthened the strategic cooperation system for 'hard-line response to the doctors' strike', which confirmed Lee's 'collaboration with the Yoon administration'. .
Professor Kim Yoon (medical management), former head of the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Center and a strong advocate for the Yoon Seok-yeol government's policy of increasing the number of medical schools, was elected to the National Assembly as one of the four proportional representatives of the Democratic Party's satellite party.
Yomiuri, in the title of <The ruling party turns away from its inferiority complex and internal strife in the opposition party, "Controversy over Rep. Lee Jae-myung's becoming a private party">, said, "As there was talk of preferentially selecting people close to Representative Lee Jae-myung, within the party, "(Representative Lee) is a member of the private party." There is criticism that “they are trying to make it .” Not officially recognized. It was reported on the 11th that lawmakers who were close to former President Moon Jae-in left the party one after another.
Regarding the number of people leaving the party due to conflict over nomination, Representative Lee Jae-Myung said, "I won't play because I feel like I will lose if I play, and this will not be good for the public." He added, "I think there are one or two people who are leaving the party recently, and they are free to join the party." “You are free to withdraw from the party,” he announced on the 28th of last month, saying he would switch to a “sole race with the candidate from Yoon Seok-yeol’s regime after excluding those who dropped out.”
In an interview with JoongAng Ilbo, Professor Kim said about the date of his decision to enter the National Assembly, “It was the 29th of last month. “I decided that now I had no choice but to go to the National Assembly,” he said. “During the process of increasing the number of medical schools, I came to receive a lot of hate from the medical society, so to speak. “I decided that it has now become difficult to work as a professor and expert,” he said, announcing the expansion of the medical school quota and the expansion of the preventive medicine system in the health insurance medical industry through the Democratic Party.
Professor Kim said in a media interview just before that, "The number of medical school students must be increased by 4,500 over 15 years from 2025 to 2040," and "The annual salary of doctors at general hospitals, which was 200 million won in 2019, has risen to more than 300 to 400 million won."
In response to the question, ‘Why the Democratic Alliance for Democracy?’, Professor Kim said, “I thought that applying as a national candidate was closest to the arguments and positions I had made so far. “Rather than applying as a candidate for a specific political party,” he answered.
In particular, Rep. Ko ruled out open elections, saying, “Even if our paths are slightly different and our thoughts are different, if we do not stand in solidarity with the mighty power of Yoon Seok-yeol, we will lose too many people.”
The day before, Hong Ik-pyo, floor leader of the Democratic Party, told Rep. Ko, "It is most important to put aside small differences of opinion and combine all available forces to realize the people's order to judge the Yoon Seok-yeol regime," and to "crack down on disparities within the party." A closed election strategy was revealed.
Yoon Seok-yeol's regime attempted to restore the Cold War system of administrative dictatorship and the spread of freedom from the U.S. Republican Party's hard-line conservative strategy of 'strengthening executive orders' as a strategy to neutralize the majority-party Democratic Party-dominated Congress, and the Democratic Party cooperated in 'administrative dictatorship' by destroying party democracy.

Article 3 of the Democratic Party Constitution states: <②The Democratic Party of Korea shall operate centered on party members, but is based on broad support from the public> <④The Democratic Party of Korea shall promote party democracy through the separation of powers into three political parties and decentralization between the central party and city/provincial parties. ‘Implement’ was first specified as ‘party democracy’.
