Lee Nak-yeon Side: "Voted 'Against' Roh Moo-hyun Impeachment... Malicious Mudslinging Must Stop"

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] As the Democratic Party primary heats up, the truth dispute surrounding the 2004 'Impeachment vote of former President Roh Moo-hyun' has continued for several days.

On the 23rd, former leader Lee Nak-yeon's Pil-yeon Camp stated in a commentary, "No matter how anxious you are, you must not cross the line," and in response to Governor Lee's side's attack demanding to reveal the stance on the impeachment vote of former President Roh, they reiterated, "Member of Parliament Lee Nak-yeon cast a 'no' vote during the impeachment vote against former President Roh."

Spokesperson Bae Jae-jung said, "Since it was a secret ballot, there is no way to directly verify it," but added, "It is a fact known to everyone." She continued, "Candidate Lee Nak-yeon was the spokesperson for President-elect Roh Moo-hyun and wrote President Roh's inaugural address. He did not participate in the impeachment proposal and clearly stated that 'the impeachment demand is excessive.' He cast a no vote in the impeachment vote," she explained.

Spokesperson Bae targeted Governor Lee, saying, "I understand the anxiety. You couldn't even make it into the ranking in the preliminary primary public interview," and pointed out, "Even the 'trend theory' you believed in after the TV debate has tilted."

She then noted, "I understand the uneasiness. Still, there is a line that must not be crossed."

Spokesperson Bae urged, "Stop the malicious slander even now," and criticized, "No matter how anxious, no matter how nervous, do you have to invoke the pain of Democratic Party members and supporters, and even the late President Roh Moo-hyun?"
