The Democratic Party of Korea's Gyeongbuk Provincial Chapter Operates a Memorial Altar for the Late Former Prime Minister Lee Hae-chan
The Gyeongbuk Provincial Chapter of the Democratic Party of Korea (Chairperson Lim Mi-ae) mourns the passing of the late former Prime Minister Lee Hae-chan, who left a significant mark on the development of democracy in South Korea. The chapter announced that it will set up and operate a memorial altar at the chapter's conference room in Okdong, Andong, North Gyeongsang Province, from the 27th to the 31st.
Former Prime Minister Lee Hae-chan was a democracy activist, seven-term National Assembly member, and Prime Minister. He was a leading politician in the democratic reform movement. He is recognized for his lifelong dedication to the institutionalization and policy implementation of South Korean democracy.
His passing is seen as more than just the passing of a politician; it marks the end of an era of South Korean democracy. Rather than claiming to be a heroic leader, former Prime Minister Lee Hae-chan focused on designing structures, institutions, policies, and strategies, solidifying the substance of democracy.
His political journey, from street fighter for democracy to architect of institutional politics and coordinator of state affairs in a democratic government, is recognized as consistently demonstrating his belief that Korean democracy must be achieved through policies and systems, not emotions.
The Gyeongbuk Provincial Chapter of the Democratic Party of Korea stated, "We hope that this memorial will go beyond a mere space for mourning and become a place to reflect on the meaning of democracy and reaffirm the principled and responsible politics that the deceased left behind. We have established the memorial so that party members and citizens who aspire to democracy can come together to pay their respects."
