Park Ji-hyeon, chairman of the Democratic Party’s joint emergency countermeasures committee, poured out his conscientious remarks toward candidates for local elections, such as Park Min-min and Roh Young-min, who caused a real estate scandal with Song Young-gil, former Democratic Party leader.
Chairman Park Ji-hyeon began his remarks at the emergency response committee meeting on the 8th, saying, “I took on the role of co-chairman of the Democratic Party for innovation of the party.” Chairman Park Ji-hyeon said, “When I saw the list of applications for the local elections yesterday, the Democratic Party could not help but ponder whether it was possible to reflect and renew. The former party leader, who resigned as a member of the party, registered as a candidate in the same way,” he said. “We need to seriously reconsider whether our Democratic Party is the right party to lose the election, whether it is the right party to reflect on and take responsibility for, and whether the paternalism that ignores wrong choices even though we know each other well is pushing the Democratic Party back into the swamp of defeat. ” he said directly.
Chairman Park Ji-hyeon strongly urged the embassy committee to “make a public nomination that supports the people’s sentiments in the presidential election with the spirit of cutting off the flesh for party renewal and victory in local elections, and a reform nomination that escapes paternalism.” “Even if we lose, we have a chance to reflect on ourselves, but if we show such an image as to what we did wrong, we can see the results of the branch election,” he said. We need to calmly ask ourselves whether we have not made efforts to find good candidates.”
Chairman Park also hit marketing Lee Jae-myung directly. Chairman Park said, “Many candidates are marketing Lee Jae-myung to create favorable public opinion in the nomination process. What this adviser supports is fair competition, not a specific candidate.”
He also said, “Many candidates say they will protect Advisor Lee Jae-myung, but it is natural to face unreasonable oppression of power to protect the party’s precious political assets, but it is not appropriate to use this as a marketing strategy. It’s more friendly, but it’s not a bet,” he emphasized.
Lastly, Chairman Park Ji-hyeon said, “We need to change the situation as soon as possible. This judgment must not be repeated a third time.”
