The power of the people, the largest opposition party, who had been in conflict due to the resignation of Lee Jun-seok, was dramatically reconciled on the 6th. It’s been 16 days since Lee resigned as chairman of the standing election on the 21st of last month and confronted Yoon Seok-you. It is said that Yoon, who broke up with former chairman Kim Chong-in and chose to completely renew the election committee, expressed his intention to start again through a reconciliation with Lee.
On this day, the power of the people went back and forth between hell and heaven. Most of the time was “hell”. The party parliamentary assembly held at 10 am continued to be a fierce confrontation between Lee and the members over the issue of Lee’s retirement until evening. It was Yoon, who participated in the parliamentary general meeting at around 7:50 pm, who reversed this.
Yoon said in a private statement, “It’s all for me. I understand that the members of the Diet also told the representative what they wanted to say and Lee explained his position.” “Misunderstanding because of the cause of victory in the election.” Let’s forget everything. Lee was chosen by us. Let’s all work together to win. ” It was just after Lee finished saying, “If this happens for the third time, I will take all responsibility and retire from the party.” The members of the Diet who heard Yoon’s remarks applauded and welcomed them all at once.
Party officials such as Yoon, Lee, Kim Ki-hyeon, and Secretary-General Kwon Young-se had a private dialogue at another location for about 30 minutes. Then, the four people who came into the parliamentary meeting hall held hands and raised them. Candidate Yoon and Representative Lee hugged each other. The members attending the general assembly cheered for about five minutes, shouting “Yoon Seok-you! Lee Jun-seok!”.
“It’s been a really tough time for me for the last few weeks,” said Lee. “During this period, we haven’t escaped from the idea that our candidates must win.” He then said, “I will declare one team at this seat.” “I want you to put one of my beds in the corner of the room where Chairman Kim Chong-in was in the party building tomorrow. I will take an attitude toward the election and sleep and eat at the party building. “
Then, Yoon, who stood on the stage, said, “I will forget everything.” Let’s all work together to restore our position. ” Members attending the general assembly stood up all at once and called “Yoon Seok-you”.
After the General Assembly, Yoon told reporters, “Blood is thicker than water. We are blood-like party members. Those who decided to fill the bones together with the power of the people.” “We have the same idea. I will crush the bones at the order of the people. ” Lee said, “The only fear is that you can’t win.” “I apologize for showing a disappointing appearance. I will reward you for winning the election.”
After that, Yoon went to the funeral hall in Pyeongtaek on the electric car “Ioniq 5” driven by Lee. This is because of the funeral of three fire department staff who died in a fire at the construction site of a new freezer warehouse in Hirasawa on that day. In the back seat was Kim Ki-hyun, the leader of the hospital, and Secretary-General Gonning. This car has been used by Lee since last year for going to and from work without a driver. Lee said, “I heard that there is a schedule for candidate to go to Pyeongtaek right after the general assembly of parliamentarians. May I accept the candidate as a guest as a representative of the people’s power and as a person with a taxi driver’s license? When asked, Yoon stood up and raised his thumb.
On this day, the atmosphere of the people’s power continued to be difficult to expect such a “happy ending.” After the parliamentary assembly was over in the morning, parliamentarians demanded the attendance of Representative Lee in the atmosphere of “to settle today.” Lee, who had been worried about the public debate, appeared at around 5:20 pm, seven hours after the start of the general assembly of parliamentarians. Lee apologized, “If there is something that the party representative feels about all the turmoil so far, I want you to rebuke me a lot.”
However, at the subsequent private assembly of parliamentarians, “I feel that what we have built one by one will collapse again” (Representative Kim Shio-sai), “The words and actions of Lee were a villainous act.・ Jae-myung) I want you to give a sharp word to the Democratic Party candidate. ”(Member Chung) continued to criticize.
