Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung is paying attention to the background, claiming that the reason the Democratic Party is hated by the people is because they went so far as to ignore the people’s will for their own philosophy.
Candidate Jae-myung Lee participated in the ‘Great Debate on the Management of the Next Government and Major Policy Areas in the 20th Presidential Election’ held at the Press Center co-hosted by the Korean Association for Public Administration, the Korean Association for Policy Studies and the JoongAng Ilbo on the morning of the 6th, and was Min-hyo Cho, a professor at Sungkyunkwan University, made this statement after being asked about it.
Candidate Lee said, “Is politics to carry out one’s beliefs? But sometimes it crashes.” Candidate Lee said, “It is true that our Democratic Party is hated by the people. It’s not because I’m doing something very wrong, I thought, ‘Why are you so stubborn’ or ‘Why are you saying that only you are right’?” he said.
After hearing that lawyer Kwak Sang-eon said, ‘Even if you live with a bad person, you can’t live with an ugly person,’ Lee said, “The people are also collective intellectuals and individuals. I have feelings.” “Why is the Democratic Party hated? Of course, only some. It seems that they felt that their philosophy and values were going as far as ignoring the will of the people.” Candidate Lee emphasized that he was a politician, not a political activist, and said, “If you are a political activist, you have to insist on ideology and ideology, but we are hired agents.” It is not the subject.” “So, let’s change that mindset and respect (and) the people, the market and the world,” he said.
Regarding the regulatory issue of the future society, Candidate Lee said, “Regulatory issues should also be created so that the market allows the people to make their own independent judgments and decisions, but to become a fair competition arena. The key is coercive buoyancy,” he said. In particular, Lee said, “It is not a bad thing for humans to pursue their own desires, and we should not blame ourselves. Don’t criticize a company trying to make money. (This is also a desire),” he said, “Although I tolerate it. The government should blame itself for not doing so, as controlling and regulating it works.” He said that necessary regulations should be strengthened and unnecessary regulations should be relaxed or lifted.
Meanwhile, he also introduced the secret to gaining political support. He said, “That was the conclusion that politicians thought about how to gain popularity and the secret to gaining support,” he said. Candidate Lee said, “One of the things the people want is civil complaints, which civil servants get irritated and avoid. said I met the people in person and asked them to say what they wanted to say and write what they wanted to write. In the first year, 300 to 500 people came and wrote only two books, but as the years went on, it decreased by half, and it became thinner when I retired.
Candidate Lee said, “Politics is about doing what the people want.” “Finding what the parties want. It is important to meet frequently to practice popular sovereignty. Then, people who see themselves as kings or rulers will disappear.”
