On the 17th, former Democratic Party lawmaker Jeong Bong-ju hinted at the possibility of Representative Lee Jae-myung not running, saying, “Representative Lee Jae-myung’s purpose is not to become a member of the National Assembly just once.”
Former Rep. Jeong’s remarks came while expressing his opinion on former Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Won Hee-ryong’s official candidacy for Incheon Gyeyang, Lee’s representative constituency. He said in a CBS Radio interview that day, “Representative Lee’s purpose is not to serve as a member of the National Assembly once once more, but because he is a strong presidential candidate from the progressive camp, he can make various political decisions.”
He then turned to former Minister Won and said, “Isn’t it a bit strange that Representative Lee Jae-myung didn’t announce that he would go to Gyeyang-eul, but instead he went there and waved his fist in the air and said, ‘If you want to hit me, come this way.’” Representative Lee may not run, but it is argued that former Minister Won’s running for office in Gyeyang-eul, Incheon, to face Representative Lee is a waste of time.
Regarding former People Power Party Emergency Response Committee Chairman Kim Jong-in’s insistence that Representative Lee Jae-myung not run, former lawmaker Jeong said, “I think it is one of the good pieces of advice.”
Former lawmaker Jeong, who served as the head of the Democratic Party’s Education and Training Institute under Lee Jae-myung’s regime, announced on the 8th that he would run for Gangbuk, Seoul, the constituency of non-representative Park Yong-jin. Former Rep. Jeong said to Rep. Park, who argued that he should not be nominated, citing allegations of sexual misconduct in the past, “(Why am I) not running?” and “We will take legal action.” He said, “The punishment for publishing false information for the purpose of defeating an opposing candidate is severe.”
