The Settlement of the reformation has been called at the workshop of the Supreme council of the ruling New Millennium Democratic Party (NMDP) on May 7. It is noteworthy of watching how the President would response to its request of reevaluation of the reformation which has been driven continuously from the very beginning of this administration.
Since the honorary chairman of the United Liberal Democrats, Kim Jong-pil stated, Now it’s time to settle down all the problems such as the problem of the separation of pharmacy and clinic, the educational reformation , among many others instead of bringing about more and more issues, the request of the reformation settlement has been spread widely.
Han Hwa-kap, the Supreme council member of NMDP, commented at the workshop that the ruling party has to thoroughly reevaluate all the projects done by the people’s government for past three years and it has to consider counter plans. He also suggested, It would be better to change the word, reformation, with change.
The representative Kim Jung-kwon added, For the reason of long lasting reformation, there are some people who have felt a kind of reformation fatigue. He promised to request the President himself of presiding the Supreme council to examine overall the public welfare, economic problems, a measure to break a political deadlock, and the relationship with the opposition synthetically.
Among the ruling coalition, NMDP is known as having started the reexamination of some reform bills, which the party had brought in, such as some anti-industrial acts in the Motherhood protection law that requires higher standard than the International Labor Organization (ILO) recommendation, a bill related the political fund which is not recommended by the anti-money laundering bills of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and also disputed bills for the private school reformation.
However, a high official of Chongwadae gave a negative comment on it, Even though the framework of the reformation had been ready by February this year, it won’t be resulted in the improvement of the national competitive power and the recovery of the national credibility if the government did not maintain the continuous reformation of the operating system. The reformative lawmaker of NMDP raised the identity problem of the ruling coalition, corresponding to the opinion of the honorary chairman Kim Jong-pil. Now it’s turning to the debates about policy lines in the ruling coalition.
