Regarding the Innovation Committee's Recommendation to Lift Disciplinary Action... Lee Jun-seok Says "It Will Only Worsen the Situation"
"Innovation Committee Must Address More Fundamental Issues"
The People Power Party Innovation Committee has reached a consensus to recommend lifting the disciplinary actions against former People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok and others to promote party unity, but former leader Lee expressed discomfort, stating, "I oppose the Innovation Committee's thinking."
On the 27th, Lee Jun-seok said on his Facebook, "The Innovation Committee's role is to publicly point out and reflect on the unreasonable actions taken to seize party power," expressing his stance.
Earlier, the People Power Party Innovation Committee announced that a general amnesty for party unity was set as the first innovation agenda. Since former leader Lee was suspended from party membership for a total of 1 year and 6 months, Daegu Mayor Hong Joon-pyo for 10 months, and Supreme Council member Kim Jae-won for 1 year, they are likely candidates for having their disciplinary actions lifted.
He added, "Approaching this matter as if grudgingly showing leniency through forceful means only worsens the situation," and said, "I hope this will not be reconsidered."
