Park Su-young "Whichever side the arrest motion vote goes, Lee Jae-myung will lose leadership"

"A Leader Who Cannot Commit Themselves Loses Their Qualification"

As the vote on the arrest consent bill for Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, takes place in the National Assembly on the 21st, Park Soo-young, head of the Yeouido Institute of the People Power Party, predicted that "regardless of the outcome, Leader Lee will lose his leadership."

On the same day, Park said on his social media service (SNS), "Although it is difficult to predict the outcome of the vote due to the small number of seats held by our People Power Party, one result can be predicted," expressing this view.

Park stated, "Throughout history, a leader who cannot commit himself loses his qualification," and criticized, "Park Kwang-on, floor leader of the Democratic Party, said, 'If passed, it means division; if rejected, it means protection.' However, if Leader Lee had kept his promise and said, 'I will give up my immunity from arrest. I ask the members to pass this,' it could have prevented both division and protection."

He added, "It seems that Leader Lee does not see an easy solution to protect the party and avoid plunging the political situation into chaos," and pointed out, "Because for him, his own momentary safety is more important than the party or the political situation."
