Heo Eun-ah "No contact received from Roh's first-term members... Seems marked as 'anti-Yoon'"

"Chase Out Na Kyung-won Like Chasing Out Lee Jun-seok"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Regarding the statement issued by 48 first-term members of the People Power Party demanding an apology for former lawmaker Na Kyung-won's remarks the previous day, People Power Party lawmaker Heo Eun-ah, who was not included in the list of the 48 first-term members, stated on the 18th that she "did not receive any contact" and felt "it seems like I was labeled as anti-Yoon (反尹)."

On the same day, Heo said on SBS's 'Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show,' "It is true that I was not included among the 48."

The 48 first-term members of the People Power Party, in a statement the previous day, said, "We first-term members are appalled by the claim that the dismissal was not the president's true intention but due to distorted reports from aides," and demanded an apology from former lawmaker Na. This was in response to Na's claim on social media the previous morning that "the dismissal was not the president's true intention."

However, some of the first-term members were not included in the list, drawing attention to the background. Heo, who is classified as pro-Lee Jun-seok faction and considered 'non-Yoon (非尹),' is one of them. She said, "I wondered if it was only me, so I checked with lawmaker Kim Woong, and it was the same," adding, "Lawmaker Choi Jae-hyung did answer the phone." Kim Woong is also part of the pro-Lee Jun-seok faction.

Regarding the factional fight within the party and the clash between former lawmaker Na and the Yongsan Presidential Office, she expressed concern, saying, "I think it might be due to mutual lust for power," and added, "If they are trying to oust former leader Na Kyung-won just like they ousted former leader Lee Jun-seok, then there is really no hope."

She said, "There were probably doubts like 'Did he do something wrong?' about former leader Lee, but now, in the case of former lawmaker Na, who represents some form of conservatism, there are even calls for her to 'go to the Democratic Party,'" and added, "They see Yoo Seung-min, Lee Jun-seok, and Na Kyung-won as being on the same level."

She continued, "Those who told us not to form factions have already formed factions themselves, so they are gathered inside the castle walls and have driven others out," and said, "Among the 15 who did not sign this time, if you talk to some of them, there are many concerns about whether it is right to fight like this among party members within the same party, when our real enemy to fight is North Korea, and the real battle should be against the Democratic Party in Yeouido."
