On the 31st, the Mirae Integration Party selected ‘Popular Power’ as the final candidate for the party’s new name. Seven months have passed since the Korean Liberal Party (predecessor of the Unified Party) and the new Conservative Party merged, and changed their name to Future Unified Party before the 21 general elections. ‘Kookmin’ is a party name used mainly by the central and progressive political parties. The unified party, which recently attempted to transform itself into a practical midfielder, was interpreted as reflecting the will to renew the party even in the name of the changed party.

Regarding the new name of the party on this day, the Unified Party said, “The ‘power of the people’ has three meanings: ‘the power of the people’, ‘the power to exercise for the people’ and ‘the power to unite the village’. “It means that we will aspire to become a political party that practices liberal democracy with the power of liberal democracy, a party with all the people and a party that joins the power of the people and opens a new future.”

The Unification Party has been working on creating a new party name to renew it. From 13 to 21, there was also a public call for a new party name. Since then, the Unification Party has chosen as a candidate for ‘power of the people’ using the word ‘national’ (around 3,000 out of 17,000 cases), which is the most common in public offerings. The ‘Party of Korea’, a word that may continue the traditions of the unified party’s predecessors, the Grand National Party, the Saenuri Party and the Free Korea Party, and the third most popular ‘Korea’ in public offerings, too was included as a candidate. Like the American company ‘WeWork’, a shared office rental company, there was also the opinion that “let’s put a party name that ends in verbal form with a youthful feeling” as a candidate. .

President Kim Jong-in said he laughed after receiving the report from the head of public relations at Public Relations Headquarters, Kim Soo-min, at the day’s conference and said, “Let’s do it with the power of the people.” It is said that President Kim wanted a new party name that included the image of a pragmatic party for the people, excluding the ideology of the usual non-confrontational meetings. President Kim told reporters: “The word” national “itself fits into the spirit of our country’s constitution” and “now is an era where ideology does not exist.”

The final subsequent security for the new party name was also discussed in the General Assembly of United States Party lawmakers held after the meeting without delegation. There were many opinions in favor of them, but there were quite a few opposing opinions, saying: “It seems that the value of the political party is less” and “the progressive camp used a similar name in the past.” Former President Kim Dae-jung founded the New Political People’s Congress in 1995. The ‘Gathering of people who love Roh Moo-Hyun (No Samo)’ also functioned in the name of ‘power of the people’ in the past. In this regard, Chung Cheong-rae, a member of the Democratic Party, said on Facebook that “‘the power of the people’ is the name of a civic organization launched in 2003 by me and its members.” In this regard, a member of the Unification Party said: “There is no law that indicates that the word people should have only one side.”

On the morning of day 1, the unified party reopens a general membership meeting to collect members’ views on the new party name. The intention is to listen to the views of legislators who oppose the new party name as much as possible. In addition, on days 1 and 2, the permanent national committee and the national committee will be held and the new name of the party will be confirmed as ‘the power of the people’.

In politics, the new party of the Unification Party was interpreted to be similar to the people’s party, and that the two parties were trying to unite and unify. Regarding this, the executive director Ahn Cheol-soo of the Nationalist Party said: “If it is logical (that the name of the party is similar), should not all the other parties in which the ‘Kookmin’ has been entered? ” In fact, the leaders of the Unified Party and the National Assembly Party are known to meet frequently and talk about next year’s Seoul-Busan mayoral by-elections and presidential elections.
