Daegu Mayor Hong Joon-pyo met with Lee Jae-myung, the head of the Democratic Party, on the 10th and reached out, saying, “There are mostly people in the President’s office under the Yoon Seok-yeol regime who are not familiar with politics.” Representative Lee replied, “It’s good if principles and common sense are well implemented, but it’s a problem because it doesn’t work well.” Representative Lee visited Daegu that day and met Mayor Hong at Daegu City Hall Sangyeok Complex following holding an on-site supreme committee meeting. The two, who were presidential candidates in their 19th and 20th years, had an antagonistic relationship that had ‘directly hit’ each other with straightforward remarks, but only on this day, in a friendly atmosphere, they continued the conversation, promising cooperation on local issues. As soon as Lee met Mayor Hong, he opened the door to a conversation with a kind remark, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him in person, but I think the Daegu water is good or his face has improved.” He also cheered, saying, “There is a widespread rumor that Daegu is really revitalized following the mayor took the leadership.” In response, Mayor Hong also highly praised Representative Lee’s visit, saying, “It is the first time that the representative of the Democratic Party has visited Daegu City Hall.” The two expressed their regrets in one voice over the current political terrain where the opposition parties run parallel lines. Mayor Hong said to CEO Lee, “I’m saying this because the representative is here, but most of the Yoon Seok-yeol regime has people in the presidential office who are not familiar with politics,” and “the Democratic Party needs some help to stabilize the country.” Mayor Hong continued, “The Democratic Party (members) immediately withdraw from the party when there is a problem, but our party doesn’t do that.” There is no dedication to it.” Regarding the process by which the Democratic Party handled the Nursing Act alone, Mayor Hong said, “It would be nice if the Democratic Party released the National Assembly through dialogue and compromise.” In response, CEO Lee said, “I don’t think it will be meaningful to argue who is at fault for this,” and “because there was general public consent in the process of reconciliation of interests, the ruling and opposition parties agreed and promised (during the presidential election process), so we have to keep that.” he replied. The two also promised bipartisan cooperation on the ‘Dalbit’ (a name that refers to Dalgubeol, an old place in Daegu and Bitgoeul, Gwangju) inland railway connecting Yeongnam and Honam. When CEO Lee said, “The Dalbit Inland Railway project is a project that our party has focused on, we have nothing to oppose, and since it has been delayed a lot, we will try to start construction and realize it as soon as possible.” In the general election next year, the Democratic Party will probably get a lot more votes,” he said.
