Progressive Gathering+ (Korean: 진보결집+) was a political group comprising members from the Labor Party who advocated for a merger with the Justice Party.[3][4]
History
[edit]In November 2015, a decision was made to form a unified progressive party, by merging the Justice Party, Progressive Gathering+, Labor Politics Solidarity and the National Gathering.[5][6]
Following the merger, Progressive Gathering+ changed its name to the "Network for an Equal Society" and became active as a faction within the Justice Party.[7]
Its members included Na Gyung-che, Kang Sang-gu, Kim Jeong-jin, Jang Seok-jun, Kwon Tae-hoon and Kim Jong-cheol.[7]
