Lee Nam-jae Preliminary Candidate "Politics That Encourages Division Must Be Ousted"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Lee Namjae, the Democratic Party preliminary candidate for the National Assembly election in Seo-gu (Eul), Gwangju Metropolitan City, asserted that "politics that incite hatred and division even in times of national crisis must be eliminated."

On the 24th, the preliminary candidate stated in a press release, "This is a time when all citizens must unite to overcome the crisis, such as raising the crisis alert level of 'COVID-19' to 'serious,'" and explained, "Representative Hwang Kyo-ahn and some conservative media blatantly reveal political intentions by insisting on the term 'Wuhan pneumonia' despite WHO's designation of the name 'COVID-19.'"

He continued, "Furthermore, the United Future Party preliminary candidate in Daegu shamelessly repeats political behavior that incites public division by comparing COVID-19 to 'Moon Jae-in pneumonia.'"

He added, "The spread of COVID-19 is something that all members of our society must overcome together, and there can be no enemies or allies, regions or factions in this. Although politics should serve the safety of the people in times of crisis, the United Future Party is only focused on the general election and vote calculations."

He also said, "I hope Representative Hwang Kyo-ahn and the United Future Party keep in mind that politics that incite conflict and hatred during national crises harm both the country and its people, and devote themselves to the roles of the National Assembly and political circles, such as executing reserve funds for urgent financial input and preparing supplementary budgets."
