[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Kwon Eun-hee, floor leader of the People’s Party, strongly criticized Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, on the 14th regarding the controversy over the reversal of the nationwide disaster relief fund agreement. Floor leader Kwon assessed, "It seems difficult for Leader Lee to establish leadership within the party."

On the same day, floor leader Kwon appeared on YTN Radio’s ‘Hwang Bo-seon’s Start Morning’ and said, "I do not understand at all the content of Leader Lee’s agreement and the explanations he gave after reversing the agreement." She added, "If I were to consider one possible explanation, it might be that he visited some online community before and saw many posts demanding the nationwide disaster relief fund, and perhaps reacted to them. That is the level at which I can understand his behavior," she criticized.

She analyzed, "Basically, Leader Lee’s leadership lacks the two essential elements required of a political leader: philosophy and responsibility," and added, "Leadership is structurally always at risk."

Regarding Leader Lee’s leadership, floor leader Kwon pointed out, "In order to work in harmony within the party, there must be a shared philosophy or shared interests. Since there is no philosophy itself, sharing is not possible, and regarding interests, Lee Jun-seok is already suspected of being part of the Yoo Seung-min faction, which is an interest community. Therefore, it seems difficult for him to establish leadership within the party through sharing interests."

Meanwhile, floor leader Kwon mentioned about the merger talks with the People Power Party, "I have the opinion that it would be better to separately create the rules for selecting a unified opposition presidential candidate, and since we have agreed to further adjust that part, there may be adjustments regarding the timing and method of selection." This means that there could be some changes in the timing or method of selection within the People Power Party during the merger process.
