The Jinbo-sin Party ( Korean : 진보 신당 , transliteration : Jinbo-sin-dang , English New Progressive Party , German : New Progressive Party ) was a left-wing, ecological party in South Korea , which existed from March 2008 to April 2012.
history
The party was founded on March 16, 2008 by former members of the Minju-nodong Party ( 민주 노동당 , Minju-nodong-dang, Democratic Labor Party) because of the rising nationalism within their party.
The two leaders of the New Progressive Party were Sim Sang-jeong ( 심상정 ) and Roh Hoe-chan ( 노회찬 ), who in 2004 sat for the Minju-nodong party in the Gukhoe ( 대한민국 국회 ), the South Korean National Assembly. In the last general election in 2008, the party narrowly missed out on the South Korean parliament with 2.9%. Since the party could not develop and develop a larger membership and voter base, it disbanded on April 12, 2012. Some members immediately formed a committee to found another party under a different name.
The party represented democratic socialism , took care of environmental issues and campaigned for the rights of women and homosexuals.
