Lee Jae-myung Urges "Democratic Party Supporters to Stop Lawsuits and Accusations"... Calls for Faction Unity View original image

[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] On the 17th, Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, appealed to stop the lawsuits and counter-lawsuits among supporters that occurred during the primary election process.


The intention is to resolve the ongoing conflicts between some hardcore pro-Moon Jae-in supporters within the party and Lee’s supporters after the primary, and to unite their strength for victory in the presidential election.


On the same day, Lee posted on his social media (SNS) under the title "We Are All Comrades," saying, "The meaning of comrade is people who work together. Therefore, the primary election among comrades is not a war but a competition to achieve a greater purpose," and added, "Please stop the lawsuits and counter-lawsuits among supporter comrades caused by disputes during the primary process."


He emphasized, "The Democratic Party is strongest when it is one team," and said, "Our party will grow bigger as much as the broad embrace that understands each other."


He continued, "Making a new Republic of Korea and changing the lives of the people are all possible only when we are one team," and urged, "The stronger our solidarity and unity, the more we can move forward fearlessly on the path to victory in the presidential election."



Amid recent opinion polls showing that candidate Lee is somewhat trailing candidate Yoon, this is interpreted as an attempt to consolidate the support base through strengthening the 'one team' spirit.
