Daegu Mayor Hong Jun-pyo, who belongs to People’s Power, said to Kwon Seong-dong, who resigned as the party’s acting representative, on the 1st, “I do not know what you mean by resigning only as the automatically succeeded representative while retaining the floor as it is.” urged
Mayor Hong said on Facebook on the same day, “Unless the party leader resigns, a non-captain cannot be formed, and it is legally right for the floor leader to resign if he resigns as acting.”
Regarding the party leadership system, he said, “Now that the entire leadership, including the floor leader, has become in tatters and has lost the trust of party members and the people, it is regarding filling the void in Lee Jun-seok’s system by giving the newly elected floor leader the emergency representation.” “When the judicial process of CEO Lee reaches the end of the time, CEO Lee’s advancement and resignation will be automatically decided,” he said.
“Until then, it seems that it is the right decision of the Republican Party to decide whether to hold a national convention following temporarily operating it as an emergency system for the floor leader, but it is regrettable that they are only trying to find a side road with a trick,” he said directly.
Earlier, floor leader Kwon said the day before, “The party is facing a grave crisis” and “I will give up my role as an acting deputy and make every effort to transition to a non-captain system as soon as possible.” People’s Power plans to elect an emergency response chairperson at the earliest in early August as floor leader Kwon Seong-dong stepped down from his acting position.
