On the 14th, the People Power Party criticized Lee Jae-myeong, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, for his remark, “Vote for number 2 or rest at home,” saying, “It looks like they still have no intention of stopping the war-like politics of hatred that divides the people.”

Park Jeong-ha, senior spokesperson for the People Power Party, said in a commentary that day, “Representative Lee Jae-myung, who has repeatedly apologized for his ‘two-shot’ remark that divided and belittled the people, poured out harsh words again today.”

Chief Spokesperson Park said, “If you are a true political leader, it is not enough to encourage the people to cast their precious vote ahead of the election, the flower of democracy, so do you think it is appropriate to say ‘rest at home’?” and “Amid the numerous harsh words being poured out, this time, He pointed out, “CEO Jae-myung Lee himself put the spoon on it.”

He then asked, “What is the difference between candidate Jeong Bong-ju, who said he apologized directly, but no one received an apology, and Representative Lee Jae-myeong, who again made the same rude remarks without the apology?”

Senior Spokesperson Park said, “Representative Lee Jae-myung not only divided the people into sides and belittled those who did not support him, but also showed his arrogance in belittling voters,” adding, “There are many risks to the Democratic Party, but in the end, the ‘Lee Jae-myung risk’ is the overall party. “It is clear that it will put us in a quagmire,” he said.

He said, “In a democratic country, voting is a sacred act in which the sovereign people exercise their rights, and all citizens choose their representatives through voting according to their own free will.” “We must do our best for the development of the country and humbly wait for the people’s choice,” he said.

He continued, “Appealing to the people for support with a sincere attitude is completely different from a cruel appeal that feeds hatred and insults voters just to trample on the other side.” “I will follow your wishes,” he added.

Earlier, Representative Lee visited Sejong on this day and said, “Not voting for number 1 (Democratic Party) means supporting number 2 (People Power Party),” and added, “If you want to be ‘livable,’ vote for number 2 or rest at home.” . At the same time, he said, “Resting at home is the same as taking number 2.”
