Lee Cheol-gyu: "Appointing Lee Raekyung as Senior and Jeon Gwang-hoon as Innovation Committee Chair"

"Kwoun Chil-seung's Remarks, The Public's View of the Democratic Party"

Lee Cheol-gyu, Secretary General of the People Power Party, criticized the Democratic Party of Korea's appointment of Lee Rae-gyeong, director of Another Hundred Years, as the Innovation Committee Chair, pointing out that it is like entrusting Pastor Jeon Gwang-hoon of Sarang Jeil Church with the Innovation Committee Chair of the People Power Party. He also criticized Kwon Chil-seung, the senior spokesperson of the Democratic Party, who said to former Cheonan ship captain Choi Won-il, "You killed all your subordinates, it's absurd," stating, "This is how the Democratic Party views the people."

On the 7th, Secretary General Lee said on KBS's 'Choi Kyung-young's Strong Current Affairs,' "If our party is in turmoil, recently there has been controversy trying to link our party with certain individuals to make things difficult for us. I will not mention names, but entrusting such people with the Innovation Committee Chair of our party is no different," he said.

Although he did not directly mention Pastor Jeon, the context suggests he was referring to him.

Secretary General Lee said, "It is inappropriate to meddle in the Democratic Party's affairs here, but if I may say something, isn't it a public party and the first opposition party in South Korea?" He added, "In Yeouido, it is the ruling opposition party. They control the Speaker of the National Assembly, the National Assembly, and the administrative powers of the legislature. Entrusting the party to someone who denies South Korea, denies the system of South Korea, and completely negates the values we have upheld since 1945 is truly unimaginable."

Regarding former Captain Choi's protest against the appointment of Director Lee, who claimed the 'Cheonan ship self-destruction theory,' Senior Spokesperson Kwon said, "With what face do you say such things? You killed all your subordinates, it's absurd." In response, Secretary General Lee said, "How can a party official or spokesperson say such things to the people? This is the current image of the Democratic Party looking at the people, the true nature of the Democratic Party," adding, "I think there is a serious problem in the current decision-making system of the Democratic Party."
