Jung Se-kyun: "Lee Jae-myung is the true Democrat... The grand journey to a nation where the people are the owners begins"

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] Former Prime Minister and Democratic Party presidential primary candidate Jeong Se-gyun said on the 2nd that "Lee Jae-myung is the Democratic Party itself" and added, "I will join together for a new history."

On this day, Jeong attended the 'Democratic Party 20th Presidential Election Campaign Committee Launch Ceremony' held at the Olympic Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul, where he delivered a congratulatory speech as the campaign committee's standing advisor.

Jeong declared, "We will begin the grand journey of a country where the people are the owners," actively expressing his support for Lee, who was his rival in the primary.

Jeong emphasized, "Currently, the entrenched powers are struggling in an old era marked not by a 'country where people live,' but by unfairness and privilege," and added, "We cannot return to a country ruled by political prosecutors, reactionary media, and a conglomerate republic." He continued, "What kind of democratic government have we inherited? It is a country created by the hopes of the candlelight protests for a just nation," and stressed, "We must never forget those dreadful years."

Jeong stated, "The history of reform must move forward," and questioned, "Among the candidates from both ruling and opposition parties, who is the only person capable of creating such a country?" The audience responded by shouting "Lee Jae-myung."

Jeong concluded by saying, "Lee Jae-myung is the Democratic Party itself," and emphasized, "We all are now Lee Jae-myung. I, Jeong Se-gyun, will join comrades to make new history and surely achieve victory."
