Conservatives and members of the party protest against ‘gunshots’
The nature of dissatisfaction, such as the initiation of disciplinary action by the Ethics Committee
People’s Power Representative Lee Jun-seok (pictured) announced on the 24th that the ruling and opposition parties’ agreement to ‘completely deprive the prosecution’s investigative authority’ would be reviewed at the party’s Supreme Committee meeting on the 25th, saying, “It is unreasonable to push for further legislation.”
After protests from some members of the party and conservatives, Lee appears to have stepped forward. It is a clash between party leader Lee, the two-top party, and floor leader Kwon Seong-dong, who led the negotiations. Also, it is a phase of conflict between CEO Lee and ‘Hak-kwan Yoon’ (a key official on the side of the president-elect Yoon Seok-yeol). There is also the interpretation that Chairman Lee is dissatisfied with the fact that ‘Yoon Shim’ (Yoon-elect’s intentions) was mainly reflected in the party’s ethics committee’s disciplinary process against Chairman Lee and the nomination of regional group heads.
Representative Lee said to social networking service (SNS) on the same day, “Although the so-called review and complete discussion was passed at the general assembly of our party, it is unreasonable to push further legislation in the presence of serious contradictions. It is not a matter of moving with a one-week deadline,” he wrote.
Representative Lee suggested a legislative public hearing on the Inspection and Waiver Bill. CEO Lee wrote, “I propose to discuss this policy issue through a personnel hearing on Justice Minister candidate Han Dong-hoon.” “The concerns of those who have experience in front-line investigations, including one candidate, are justified,” Lee wrote. Representative Lee’s mention of a candidate is interpreted as a remark taking into account the situation in which a candidate is interpreted as a representative of Yoon-elect in the question of scrutiny.
This representative position seems to have multi-layered implications. The background for President Lee’s public remarks despite the conflict between the two tops was opposition from within the party and from some of his conservative supporters.

Ahn Cheol-soo, chairman of the Presidential Transition Committee, told reporters on the premise of his personal opinion, “If this law is passed, I am concerned that many people will be harmed by giving criminals a chance to breathe during the implementation process.” Kim Young-hwan, a candidate for the People’s Power Chungbuk Governor, wrote on his SNS, “I cannot understand or tolerate the decision of the people’s power in-house leadership regarding the scrutiny and refusal.”
A member of the People’s Power, a former prosecutor, said on the phone with a reporter, “It seems that very few lawmakers were present at the time of the decision at the National Assembly.”
As if considering this objection, floor leader Kwon said on SNS, “If we show the trick of management, we have no choice but to make concessions because we decided that damage to the people can be minimized.” The power of our people will prepare countermeasures,” he said.
In the process of discussing the arbitration proposal, Representative Lee is marginalized, and the recent disciplinary procedure for Lee at the Ethics Committee of the party is also interpreted as the background of President Lee’s public opposition. An official from the People’s Power said in a phone call, “Isn’t this because President Lee was so-called passed in the discussion?” Another official said, “As President Lee went through the presidential election, his position has weakened and he has been referred to the Ethics Committee.” Another official said on the phone, “The local election nomination was swayed by ‘yunshim’, and former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min was eliminated.”
CEO Lee expressed his intention to reconsider, but it does not appear to be overturned. If the decision of the party’s general meeting of members is overturned, the theory of responsibility for floor leader Kwon grows out of control. Conflicts within the party, as well as confrontations between the ruling and opposition parties, can lead to catastrophe. If the people’s power breaks the agreement, the Democratic Party may use it as an excuse to force it.
