Former Democratic Party leader Lee Nak-yeon and former Prime Minister Jeong Sye-kyun announced that they would disband the friendship meeting.
Rep. Lee Byung-hoon, who is close to former CEO Lee Nak-yeon, said in a post on SNS, “We have decided to disband a member of the legislature’s social gathering that might be misunderstood as a faction.”
Rep. Lee said, “The lawmakers who assisted former President Lee during the election had formed friendships several times to continue the relationship at that time. “He said.
He also pointed out, “It is inappropriate for the party to push its efforts to be reborn into a factional fight,” he said.
It is reported that they met yesterday as a farewell party ahead of Lee Nak-yeon’s departure from the United States, and decided to dissolve the meeting in order to resolve conflicts within the party.
The ‘Gwanghwamun Forum’, a gathering of lawmakers Chung Sye-kyun, also declared disbandment today.
Rep. Kim Young-joo and Rep. Lee Won-wook held a press conference at the National Assembly today and said, “The 61 members of the forum are aiming for a greater politics of integration.”
They said, “We wanted to realize the experience and capabilities of the Roh Moo-hyung Foundation Chairman Chung Sye-kyun and create a more egalitarian Republic of Korea,” they said. .
He also emphasized, “Reconstruction of the Democratic Party can only be achieved by the voluntary dismantling of all factional politics within the party,” he said.
Such a move is interpreted as a means to prevent strife in factional conflicts in advance amid fierce debates over the direction of party renewal following the disastrous local election.
In addition, some are interpreting whether non-Lee Jae-myung-gye lawmakers have taken advance checks to prevent the collective action of Lee Jae-myung-gye lawmakers ahead of the national convention.
