[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Seoyoung] The Democratic Party of Korea evaluated the agreement between Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party candidate, and Lee Jun-seok, the People Power Party leader, as an "unstable patch-up with a band-aid."


On the 4th, Park Chandae, the chief spokesperson of the Democratic Party's election committee, stated in a commentary, "The People Power Party patched up the internal conflict that arose over Lee's participation in the election committee with a band-aid called the '3-Kim election committee centered on Chairman Kim Jong-in.'


Spokesperson Park described the incident as "an event that blatantly revealed the absent political philosophy and incompetent leadership of candidate Yoon Seok-yeol." He added, "The true nature of the 'door knob Yoon core group' (key associates of candidate Yoon), who are obsessed only with power struggles, was also exposed," but noted, "There seems to be no personnel action taken against them."


Furthermore, Spokesperson Park pointed out, "Lee tried to protect Chairman Kim Jong-in to become the new Yoon core group, while candidate Yoon protected the old Yoon core group," adding, "They ignored the surgery called reform that the people desire and made an unstable patch-up with a band-aid."



Spokesperson Park raised his voice in criticism, saying, "Candidate Yoon's irresponsibility in consistently ignoring the power struggle between the new and old factions and his unstable political course, which can be shaken at any time by door knob power struggle politics, were fully revealed," and "It is also regrettable that the conclusion of the patch-up, made while intoxicated on bomb cocktails without a single apology to the people, is nothing more than the 'old-fashioned 3-Kim election committee.'"
