Lee Jun-seok, former leader of the People Power Party, raised his voice on the 12th, saying, “To become a presidential candidate or a major politician, you must have the ability to say ‘No’ when everyone says ‘Yes.'”

On this day, former representative Lee revealed this during an invited special lecture held at the Woongji Hall of Daegu University in Gyeongsan-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, adding, “It has become difficult to see such things in Daegu politics anymore.”

Because candidates only need to receive nominations to be elected, local constituency members of Daegu City simply follow the party’s bandwagon for re-election rather than voicing their opinions on the party, leadership, or current issues.

Former Representative Lee claimed, “The Daegu election has a strong atmosphere of being like a neighborhood class president election. We are moving towards a situation where even if one does not receive the support of the national party members, he or she can become the floor leader as long as the (TK) members are tightly tied together.”

He added, “As this kind of politics continues, we have reached a situation where it is difficult to create presidential candidates or influential politicians.”

Former Representative Lee criticized, “Even now, many high-ranking officials from Daegu in Seoul will engage in politics with the intention of jumping into next year’s general election and receiving the last medal of their lives.”

He pointed out that those who want to run for general elections are full of the idea of ​​being nominated by the leadership and receiving nominations rather than serving the region and listening to the public sentiment.

Former representative Lee met with reporters before the special lecture and asked about the reason for his recent frequent visits to Daegu and Gyeongbuk, saying, “I came here because I was requested by a university. It has no particular meaning. My basic plan is to run for Nowon (byeong) in Seoul and become a member of the National Assembly.” .

He said, “However, I cannot make hasty conclusions about what the situation will be like in the future,” and said there were various possibilities, including running for office in Daegu.

In addition, in response to questions about the ‘TK water change theory’ and the ‘Yongsan associate’s parachute theory’ that are often raised, he said, “If we can carefully select what needs to be emptied, empty it, and fill it with good things, it will be a significant help to regional development.”
