ThePlatform Party(Korean:더불어시민당;Hanja:더불어 thị dân đảng), also known asCitizen's Party of Korea,[1]was anelectoral allianceandpolitical partyinSouth Koreaformedin order to runforparty-list proportional representationin2020 South Korean legislative election.
History[edit]
The party was originally established byWoo Hee-jongandChoi Bae-geunasFor the Citizens(Korean:시민을위하여) on 2 March 2020, while condemning theUnited Future Partyfor forming its satellite party, theFuture Korea Party,in order to obtain compensatory seats after the passage of a new electoral law.[2]It held its founding congress on 8 March and elected Woo and Choi as its co-Presidents.[3]
For theupcoming general election,the party signed a cooperation agreement with the rulingDemocratic Party of Korea,as well as the other minor parties such as theBasic Income Party,Transition Korea,Let's Go! — Environmental Partyand theLet's Go! — Party for Peace and Human Rights.[4][5][6][7]The next day, it changed its name to the current one.[8]
Nearly 75% of members of theGreen Party Koreaagreed to join the Democrat-led For the Citizens electoral alliance. However, they quickly left as soon as they joined. The Green Party left the electoral alliance after the Democratic Party's Secretary-General Yoon Ho-joong made sexist andtransphobicremarks about sexual minorities. Two of the fiveNational Assemblycandidates for the Green Party Korea belong to theLGBT Community.[9]
On 25 March, the Democratic Party confirmed that they would send 7 MPs to this party.[10]
Following the 2020 elections, a process was launched to merge or absorb the Platform Party back into the Democratic Party of Korea by 15 May 2020, as its original task of obtaining new compensatory proportional seats in the election was complete.[11]On 13 May, the party declared its merge into the Democratic Party.[12]
Ideology[edit]
The party is described as "pro-Moon Jae-in"and/or" pro-Cho Kuk",supportingCho Kukas theMinister of Justice.[5][6][verification needed]During the cooperation agreement, several left-of-centre parties including theMinjung Partyrefused to join as they did not want to join an electoral alliance led by pro-Moon figures.[6]
The party's position towardssame-sex marriagewas not clear, as the Democratic Party did not want to include explicitly pro-LGBT parties in their alliance.[6]
