Lee Jae-myeong, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, quoted Mencius in his New Year’s address on the 1st and said, “There is no difference between killing a person with a sword and killing someone through bad governance.” Representative Lee said this in his New Year’s address released through the Democratic Party on this day, saying, “Last year, our people had no country.”
Representative Lee said, “159 young people lost their lives helplessly in Itaewon, but the state turned a blind eye. Victims of lease fraud lost all their assets and complained of injustice, but that was all. “The soldier who investigated the case of a Marine who died unjustly became the ‘leader of a mass protest.’” He also said, “The people’s economy is on the verge of collapse due to soaring prices and interest rates,” and “not only the vulnerable class, but also the young, the elderly, the self-employed, and office workers are all suffering.”
At the same time, Representative Lee said, “The people’s livelihood, the economy, peace, and democracy are at risk of collapse. The Yoon Seok-yeol regime is denying democracy by destroying the opposition party and ignoring the National Assembly, and is withering the Republic of Korea through political retaliation and arbitrary administration of state affairs.” He said.
In his New Year’s address, Representative Lee pledged to ‘unify the party’ and win the general election in April. Representative Lee said, “In order to protect the lives of the people, the Democratic Party will become one that is bigger and stronger than ever before. We have a ‘mission’ to protect the people and the country by winning the upcoming general election. “I will definitely win so that today’s despair can become tomorrow’s hope,” he said.
Representative Lee will visit the gravesites of former presidents Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun on the first day of the new year.
Representative Lee emphasized integration, but on this day, former Prime Minister Nak-yeon Lee is expected to accelerate the process of founding a new party by meeting regarding 100 supporters at Haengju Mountain Fortress and holding a New Year’s greeting party. Four ‘principled and common sense’ members of the Democratic Party, which advocates innovation, are also predicting decisions such as leaving the party and founding a new party early this month.
