Jang Je-won “Worry regarding party-government conflict”
Kim Ki-hyeon “Distorts the past”
Even the explanation is not convincing
The followingshock of the remarks of candidate Kim Ki-hyun, the party leader of the people’s power, ‘concern regarding impeachment if candidate Cheol-soo Ahn is elected representative’ continues. On the 13th, Rep. Jang Je-won, a representative of ‘Yoon Haek-gwan’ (a key official on the side of President Yoon Seok-yeol), said, “The intention is to emphasize party-government harmony,” but Candidate Cheol-soo Ahn and Ha-ram Chun set the day as “sophistry” and “threat of shallow numbers.”
Candidate Kim said on BBS radio, “I said that we should never repeat the (presidential impeachment) past once more, but (Candidate Ahn and others) misinterpreted it as if they were concerned regarding the impeachment of the incumbent president.” I hope you will refrain from making a flaw in the party while distorting and perverting it.”
Candidate Kim expressed displeasure by saying, “Assuming the position of the Presidential Office, ask (one) a question” to the question, “I don’t think the Presidential Office will think favorably regarding the impeachment.”
Rep. Jang defended Candidate Kim’s remarks and said, “How much pressure was placed on the government when the party and government collided?”
After visiting Jeju 4·3 Park, Candidate Ahn called for an apology from Candidate Kim, saying, “(Candidate Kim) is driving the party into a swamp of division.” Even following the Jeju joint speech, Candidate Ahn dismissed it as “sophistry” when asked, “Rep. Chang defended Candidate Kim’s impeachment remarks.” He said, “Is the story of impeachment the way to party unity? What kind of people would believe that?”
Candidate Chun also criticized it on MBC radio as “a shallow threat saying, ‘If I don’t film, the party and the president will become very dizzy.’” After the joint speech, he said, “In order for the presidential office and leadership not to be misunderstood as an unfair intervention, we need to actively warn candidates who have talked regarding withdrawing from the presidential party and impeaching us.”
In fact, Candidate Kim’s explanation is not convincing. On the 11th, at Kangnam University in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, Candidate Kim said, “It is difficult for a party representative to dream of running for the presidential election,” and heard the impeachment for that reason. At the same time, he said, “When the person who is going to be the next president becomes the representative at the point where the president is less than a year old, confusion arises.”
