Lee Nak-yeon "Doctors, Please Return to Medical Sites... Delay in Electoral District Delimitation Is Tyranny Against the People"

Lee Nak-yeon, co-representative of the New Future, urged medical personnel on the 29th to "return to the medical field."

On the same day, Lee held an emergency press conference at the National Assembly in the morning and said, "It is a request to return based on the noble duty of doctors who protect lives."

He added, "I earnestly ask doctors not to let their efforts go to waste by exceeding the deadline for returning to work," emphasizing, "If doctors lose their duty to protect lives and the respect of society, it will be a fatal loss to both healthcare and the nation."

Lee explained to the government, "The New Future has proposed five mediation plans, including increasing the medical school quota by 15-20% annually for the next 10 years and allocating the increased quota to medical schools located in provincial areas."

He raised his voice in criticism regarding the delay in electoral district delimitation. He pointed out, "With only 41 days left until the election, the fact that the electoral districts have not yet been delineated is an abuse of power by the National Assembly against the voters, the people."

Regarding the postponement of the re-vote on the so-called double special investigation bills, including the Daejang-dong 5 billion club special investigation bill and the Kim Geon-hee special investigation bill, Lee said, "It is completely different from the loud calls for truth verification on these two issues," and criticized, "(Democratic Party's) postponing the re-vote out of fear that internal cracks due to the nomination turmoil might be revealed is suspicious."
