“Some disagreements within the Democratic Party… Final position decision from the highest rank”
Lee Jae-myung visits sister-in-law Moon at the beginning of the year… Interpretation of party unity
People’s Power “Conscientiousness, not morality, is required… Attendance is required”
[앵커]
On Christmas Day, Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myeong, who received the summons from the prosecution, once again hinted at his policy to respond head-on to the prosecution’s investigation, saying that he would not give up responsibility no matter what difficulties.
The power of the people criticized to respond to the summons immediately, but the battle continued over the fact that the Democratic Party disclosed the real names of the prosecutors investigating Lee.

Lee Jae-myung, the representative of the Democratic Party of Korea, who made intense remarks every day after being notified of the prosecution’s summons, attended the Christmas Mass and worship service.
[이재명 / 더불어민주당 대표 : 어렵고 힘든 시기이긴 하지만, 이웃 가족들과 함께 따스한 연말, 희망 있는 새해를 맞이하고, 건강하시면 좋겠습니다.]
In the Christmas congratulatory message on social media, he pledged not to give up his responsibility to protect the lives of the people no matter what difficulties may arise.
It is interpreted as meaning that he will respond head-on to the prosecution’s investigation, but it seems that he will not respond to the summons on the 28th regarding the suspicion of sponsoring Seongnam FC.
A Democratic Party official explained that as long as there are differences within the party, the final position will be decided by the highest party on Monday (26th).
Representative Lee Jae-myeong is also focusing on rallying within the party, such as visiting former President Moon Jae-in’s sister-in-law at the beginning of the year, hugging family members.
The people’s power has repeatedly pressed Lee’s attendance at the prosecution, saying that conscience is needed now, not civility.
[양금희 / 국민의힘 원내대변인 : 전국을 돌며 시장에 가 아무리 목청을 높인들 의혹들을 가릴 수 없습니다. 이재명 대표는 도피 투어 중단하고 검찰소환에 응하십시오.]
The Democratic Party countered that the incompetent government and ruling party were only intent on killing the opposition.
[김의겸 / 더불어민주당 대변인 : 끊임없이 이어지는 이재명 죽이기가 권력의 무능과 위선을 가리기 위한 얕은 수임을 알고 있습니다. 더불어민주당과 이재명 대표는 흔들리지 않습니다.]
The Democratic Party also released a webpage containing the names and photos of high-ranking prosecutors who are investigating the alleged case involving Lee Jae-myeong, but the battle between the opposition parties is intensifying, such as criticizing that the power of the people is taking coordinates for an attack.
