[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Soyoung] Democratic Party lawmaker Go Min-jung diagnosed that "the reason why the People Power Party's primary election bus is unable to follow the proper route is due to Representative Lee Jun-seok's tendency to want to be the main character himself."

On the 18th, Go said on YTN Radio's 'Hwang Bo-seon's Start of a New Morning,' "The issue with Representative Lee is not that he is immature because of his young age, but rather that he lacks the ability to unify others," explaining her view.

The People Power Party recently entered a phase of conflict due to the party's primary preparation committee's presidential candidate debate, allegations of leaked recordings of Representative Lee's phone call with former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl, and a recording dispute between Representative Lee and former Jeju Governor Won Hee-ryong.

Go claimed, "The driver changes the route at will, and the passengers each ask to go their own way, so the route inevitably deviates to the point of chaos."

She added, "It is difficult to speak because it feels like excessive interference, but it is obvious that a political party must move forward in a united manner. I am curious whether Representative Lee can actually drive the chaotic People Power Party primary election bus to its final destination."

Regarding the controversy surrounding Hwang Kyo-ik, who has been nominated as a candidate for president of the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization, she stated, "Basically, I believe that the authority over personnel appointments lies with the appointing authority."

She said, "The essence is whether this person is suitable for the position and can perform well," adding, "Right now, harsh language is being exchanged among individuals, which I think is causing people watching to frown."

She continued, "Since there is still a personnel hearing left at the provincial council, there is room for sufficient verification," and urged, "I hope people consider the perspective of the public watching politics."
