On the 31st, Kim Tae-heum, governor of South Chungcheong Province, urged Kwon Seong-dong, acting representative of the party, to step down from all positions and switch the party to a non-captain system.
Governor Kim said on his Facebook page on the same day, “The people’s power must be transformed by the determination to re-establish the party.”
Governor Kim said, “The power of the people is the ruling party. The ruling party is a community of destiny that, together with the president, has unlimited responsibility for state affairs. There is no appearance of taking responsibility together, only self-interested power struggles and incompetence.”
He continued, “The current state of the people’s power is that the president’s approval rating has fallen to the 20% range, but the acting deputy continues to act in vain, and there are no lawmakers who have properly stepped up to take control of the party.” Negotiations with the opposition parties and the new vision for the party could not be properly presented, and only the leadership showed the bottom.”
Governor Kim said, “The patience of the people and party members is also limited. “In order to restore the people’s trust and support, the party must reorganize its leadership and transform itself with the determination to re-establish the party,” he said.
“Politics is a one-shot thing,” he said. “People’s sentiment is scary,” he said.
Governor Kim said, “Only the president is being beaten like a neighborhood drum in front of the people. Time does not wait.” He added, “Those who are in charge right now must take responsibility and make a decision to restore the lost trust and support of the people through the establishment of new people and determination. Let’s not be mistaken that we achieved a change of government because we did well.”
