Lee Jae-myung Continues Hardline Remarks Against Yoon Administration: "Disloyal Workers Will Inevitably Be Ousted"

"Either way, you must vote"
"A worker who does not fear the master is harmful"

Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, continued his offensive against the Yoon Seok-yeol administration on the 7th. Lee pointed out, "We must warn that disloyal workers will inevitably be driven out."

At a campaign rally in Gyeyang-gu, Incheon, where he is running for office, Lee said, "If we do not take action and leave things unattended, they will surely betray the people," and added, "Look at what they have done with the power entrusted by the people. Even when our citizens were struggling, they cut the budget for support to ordinary people citing budget shortages, while at the same time cutting taxes for a small number of wealthy individuals."

He said, "We did not elect a king. We did not elect an idol to worship. We did not elect a ruler to govern, but workers who will work loyally for the people," and pointed out, "Workers who do not fear their masters are harmful."

Lee stated, "Even if a bundle of green onions costs 875 won, no one says anything, and some even defend it by saying it is 875 won per stalk, which makes them deluded as if they were kings or gods," adding, "We must hold them accountable for diplomatic embarrassment, damage to national dignity, economic collapse, livelihood destruction, and the destruction of democracy."

He quoted Plato, saying, "'If you give up your sovereignty, you will be ruled by the worst kind of people,'" and encouraged, "No matter which side you support, be sure to vote."
