People’s Power Representative Lee Jun-seok holds a press conference at the National Assembly Communication Center on the afternoon of the 13th and is wiping tears while expressing his position directly on the application for an injunction on the transition to the party’s emergency response committee system.
On the 15th, the day after Lee Jun-seok’s press conference, opinions were opposed within the People’s Power. On the other side of the opposing opinion, defining Lee as an “evil political leader,” there was a claim to listen to the president’s remarks, saying “the future came first.” The party seems to be watching the waves while refraining from taking an official position.
People’s Power lawmaker Lee Cheol-gyu said in a phone call with a reporter on the same day, “I will make it my political role to prevent President Lee’s corresponding actions and prevent an evil political leader from getting involved.” This is a response to CEO Lee’s remarks at a press conference on the 14th the day before, saying, “We need to cut out the Yun Hak-kwan (short for Yoon Seok-yeol’s key official).” Rep. Lee, along with floor leader Kwon Seong-dong and Rep. Jang Je-won, were mentioned as Yoon Hek-kwan.
In response to President Lee’s “declaration of running for candidacy in Seoul and the Seoul metropolitan area,” Lee said, “This is an insult to the local voters who photographed me.” Regarding the decline in the approval rating of the president during the transition to the emergency response committee system, when President Lee said, ‘It is an incident caused by Yoon Hak-kwan, do not argue with both sides.’ Because this is the responsibility of the representative.” “Why are you pointing arrows at President Yoon?” He continued, “(CEO Lee) said to him as if the president had said ‘this XX’ and ‘that XX’ to him, but was there any vulgar language in the private message exchanged between floor leader Kwon Seong-dong and President Yoon? was pasted In fact, it was CEO Lee who did not use his title while talking about the prosecutor general and the president,” he said.
Other members of the party also checked the leader. In a post on his social networking service (SNS) on the same day, former lawmaker Na Kyung-won said, “Please don’t try to overcome your own political and judicial crisis with tears anymore, and don’t create chaos in her passport.” Previously, CEO Lee showed tears during the press conference the previous day, interpreting it as a strategy to overcome the crisis and criticized it. Former lawmaker Na made it a fact, saying, “If a person close to Lee wrote a memorandum of 700 million investment, wouldn’t everyone who could know the truth know about it?” Rep. Kim Mi-ae said on SNS, “It wasn’t anyone’s fault, it was my work, and the Ethics Committee was disciplined, so why didn’t you say anything about it?” She criticized Lee.
On the other hand, there were lawmakers who expressed sympathy with this representative’s argument. Rep. Kim Byung-wook posted on SNS right after Lee’s press conference the day before, “(CEO Lee) precision bombed the established political sphere in Yeouido, which is parasitic in the authoritarian power structure. The cry that the politics of Yeouido should be transformed into a politics that is loyal to values such as freedom, democracy and human rights, rather than people or organizations, will be transmitted as a big echo to the people,” he said. Rep. Kim Woong left a comment at the press conference saying, “Nevertheless, we will move forward.”
Some lawmakers were cautious. 3rd term member A said on the phone that day, “Yesterday’s press conference had no meaning. It is not changing the party’s operation, and the voices supporting and opposing Lee will remain the same. It means that it is meaningless to argue a hundred families over the contents of the press conference. Representative Da-seon B said, “I think the party has made an effort to protect procedural democracy, and I would like Chairman Lee to think about why the party took such a procedure.” “He said.
