In addition, the Democratic Party decided not to introduce a way to allocate 30% of the top female members to the leadership. 

Today (14th), the National Assembly Preparation Committee (Jun-Won Jeon) said that it had decided to maintain the current rules regarding the ratio of the highest number of women at the general meeting. 

Currently, the Democratic Party's top committee consists of a party representative, an in-house representative, 5 elected positions, and 2 nominated positions (9 in total). In 2018, the quota system for female top committee members, which includes at least one female out of five elected positions, was introduced and implemented. 

The Democratic Party said that to meet 30% of women, the two representatives should be limited to women. 

Ahn Kyu-baek, chairman of the committee, said, "There has been a surge in opinion that not only women, but also socially disadvantaged workers, young people with disabilities, and various skill groups can restrict (representative) human rights." A few days ago, Lee Hae-chan also expressed his opposition from the closed top committee, saying that'the width of the party's luck is limited'.


In fact, President Hae-chan Lee is a representative Democrat who promised to expand women's political participation in an official position. "Let's lead the way for women to participate in politics," said Lee at the ceremony to declare the Women's Party to win the 2020 election. In addition, at the National Women's Party Summer Political School held last year, I repeatedly emphasized that "I must find female talent. I will try to keep the 30% rule clearly (according to the Democratic Party's Party Constitution and Party Regulations)." 

However, as the head of the party, including Lee, showed hesitation to introduce the'female quota system' to the leadership structure, it became difficult to avoid criticism as to whether or not it was used to create a party image that was friendly to women. Previously, even in the nomination of the 21st general election, 30% of women were unable to protect women, and Democratic Party member Nam In-soon made a bitter voice inside. 

The Democratic Party's allocation of 30% of the top women's members has been canceled, but instead, it will be discussed further at the next level meeting, whether more than one woman can be assigned, or whether three can be assigned through other methods. Delivered.
