Democratic Party Jeonnam Provincial Advisory Group Strongly Condemns Former Leader Lee Nak-yeon's New Party Formation Rumors

"Betrayal Act Provoking Division in the Democratic Party"

"Where Has the Spirit of Putting the Party Before Oneself Gone?"

The 12 advisors of the Democratic Party Jeonnam Provincial Party Committee issued a condemnation statement on the 13th, stating that former leader Lee Nak-yeon's formation of a new party is an act of betrayal that aids the Yoon Seok-yeol administration and instigates division within the Democratic Party.

The advisory group criticized, "The current Yoon Seok-yeol administration appears to be obsessed solely with preserving its own regime, neglecting the people's livelihood and economy as if dreaming of a prosecutorial dictatorship republic."

They also asserted, "At a time when public anger toward the incompetent and unscrupulous Yoon Seok-yeol administration is overflowing and the people must deliver a stern judgment through elections, the talk of forming a new party by former leader Lee Nak-yeon must be seriously recognized as an absurd act that grants impunity to an incompetent regime."

They continued, "We cannot help but ask where the spirit of putting the party before oneself, which Lee emphasized during his past leadership to unite the Democratic Party, has gone," and emphasized, "The behavior that pours cold water on the earnest desire of Democratic Party members to change the unscrupulous world of an incompetent regime and plunges the party into confusion must stop immediately, and vigorous advocacy and change must be pursued within the party."

They raised their voices, saying, "It is nothing but low-level political ambition that betrays party members who trusted and followed Lee Nak-yeon for a person who served as party leader, prime minister, five-term member of the National Assembly, and Jeonnam governor to shout 'anti-Lee Jae-myung' and talk about forming a new party."

They added, "The clear fact is that politician Lee Nak-yeon exists because of the Democratic Party," and said, "We hope that the formation of a new party that fosters division within the Democratic Party will stop immediately and that Lee will faithfully fulfill his fundamental duty to judge the incompetent Yoon Seok-yeol administration together with the Democratic Party on the great path of putting the party before oneself."

The advisory group stated, "The Democratic Party must unite as one and deliver a harsh whip to the prosecutorial dictatorship regime," and urged, "This is precisely the spirit of the times that the majority of awakened citizens demand from the Democratic Party, and we call for former leader Lee Nak-yeon's strict judgment and awareness."

In particular, they declared, "At this critical time in Korean history when an extremely incompetent regime must be judged, as longtime comrades of the Democratic Party, we hope that unity and solidarity, not division but integration, and walking the path where the Democratic Party wins together is truly what serves the Democratic Party and its members."

The 12 advisors of the Democratic Party Jeonnam Provincial Party Committee requested, "To our beloved and respected Democratic Party members," and asked, "Please refrain from using terms such as 'subak' or 'gaeddal,' which are expressed in language that divides the party and are derogatory."
