Hong Jun-pyo "Party Leader Criticizing Innovation Committee? Self-Contradiction"

Kim Ki-hyun, leader of the People Power Party, said that the Innovation Committee's activities "causing confusion are not desirable," prompting Hong Joon-pyo, mayor of Daegu, to sharply criticize him as "self-contradictory."

On the 15th, Mayor Hong said on his social media (SNS), "Giving full authority to the Innovation Committee and recruiting members, yet the party leader criticizes the Innovation Committee? That is self-contradictory."

He added, "The Innovation Committee was created because the party leader made mistakes, but for the party leader to restrict and monitor the Innovation Committee's activities just because he doesn't like it is self-denial," and said, "Our party has been passively dragged along, but recently gained public attention thanks to the bold actions of Innovation Committee Chairman In Yo-han."

He then said, "Accept the innovation plan and renew the party," adding, "Only then can we at least try to contest next year's general election."
