The Fatherland Reform Party and the New Reform Party, which won 12 and 3 seats respectively in the 22nd National Assembly, spoke with one voice for the first time under the name “Ban Yoon” (Ban Yoon Seok) front. -yeol). Taking advantage of this opportunity, interest is also focused on whether the two parties will form a coalition to form an internal negotiating group following the opening of the National Assembly.
On the followingnoon of the 19th, they held a press conference with opposition parties such as the Democratic Party of Korea, the Green Justice Party, and the Progressive New Future Party at the National Assembly and is putting pressure on the government and the ruling party to adopt the special bill. Prosecutor’s Act regarding Corporal Chae. Rep.

As Representatives Cho and Lee held a press conference together for the first time, the political world interpreted that the possibility of the two sides forming an internal negotiating group had increased. If it obtains 20 seats and becomes a negotiating group in the National Assembly, it can participate in discussions on the National Assembly’s agenda and have at least one member in each standing committee. Negotiating group representatives can also increase their influence in the National Assembly by participating in the National Assembly Steering Committee and the Intelligence Commission. It is for this reason that the Fatherland Innovation Party sends “love appeals” to the Basic Income Party, the Social Democratic Party and the Democratic Alliance Progressive Party, which also entered in the National Assembly as a proportional satellite party led by the Democratic Party. as proportional representation for civil society and New Future.
However, the New Reform Party is working to form a coalition to form a negotiating group. An official of the New Reform Party declared: “The New Reform Party is a political party free from any camp” and “We will lead public opinion without acting as a second party or falling into the logic of camps.”
