“I thought you would accept what I said, but I don’t.”
Zheng Fang “Lee Jae-myeong and Gyeonggi-do Line are getting coordinates”
Former lawmaker Chung Bong-joo (pictured), who lost the Democratic Party’s national convention election, said: “I think the reason we ultimately failed was the nationwide movement at the end of the election.” Former lawmaker Chung said in a phone call on the 19th: ” I thought that if I criticized the forces supporting Rep. Lee Jae-myung and told the truth, party members would accept me, but the opposite was true. “The organized ‘will be done’ movement has spread across the country,” he said. So, if this is the choice of party members, I will humbly accept the outcome,” adding, “I expect that the current situation, where people are voted out of office if they say the right thing, will improve over time.
Former lawmaker Chung ranked first in the first local primary election held in Jeju Island on the 20th of last month with 19.06% of the vote and maintained the lead until the end of July. However, after the “stab in the back” controversy in which Lee Jae-myung privately stated that he could not become president, he explained at a press conference: “We need to eradicate the ‘Brother Ming’ who betrayed Lee Jae-myung’s name and protected Lee Jae-myung.” “His name” , said one staunch supporter.
Representative Chung claimed that Representative Lee directly interfered in the election. An official close to former lawmaker Chung said by phone, “Councilor Lee and his cronies, known as the ‘Gyeonggi-do Line,’ made phone calls or traveled around the country ‘marking coordinates’ saying, ‘We need to vote for a specific candidate.
In this regard, an official close to Congressman Lee refuted the intervention theory, saying that “this Supreme Committee election is the result of the collective wisdom of members of the Democratic Party.”
