“Two powerful people are caught talking behind the scenes… There is no explanation or expression of regret”
In a warning statement from the Ethics Committee, “If you say you want to regulate expression, it’s a political caricature.”
Lee Jun-seok, former representative of People’s Power, said on the 22nd, in relation to the application for an injunction to suspend the effect of the establishment of the Emergency Response Committee, “If the application for an injunction is cited, a considerable number of people will have to take responsibility.”
In YTN’s ‘Evening with the News’ that day, former CEO Lee said, “If it is quoted, it means that democracy within the party has not been maintained.”
‘Decent people’ and ‘take off your clothes and take responsibility’ are interpreted as targeting ‘Hak-Kwan Yoon’ (a key official of President Yoon Seok-Yeol).
Former CEO Lee said, “These people are now pushing the dismissal with expressions that seem to put pressure on the judiciary.
It is very wrong.” He said, “I did a great job, but if you judge that there is a possibility that the injunction will be cited, wouldn’t it be that you did this under someone’s instruction?”
When asked by the moderator, “If the Yoon Hak officials resign or apologize or explain what they have done in the past, is there any room to think differently regarding the case,” Lee said, “The time has passed.” I was caught talking behind the scenes, but there was no explanation or expression of regret, and he switched to a non-captain in order to remove the representative position.”
In a text message sent by President Yoon Seok-yeol to floor leader Kwon Seong-dong, this seems to be aimed at expressing Lee as ‘the party leader who used to shoot internally’.
In response to the party’s Central Ethics Committee’s warning statement following remarking ‘Yangduguyuk’ (羊頭狗肉), former Chairman Lee said, “Politicians speak with words, but if (the Ethics Committee) tries to regulate expression, politics becomes a caricature.” If you look at it that way, you should not use all the idioms of the lion that will be used as animal metaphors in the future.”
In addition, regarding the announcement of the Nomination Reform Plan by the Innovation Committee, which transferred the authority to review the inqualities of candidates that the Nomination Management Committee had to the Ethics Committee of the Central Party, “One of the ideas of the Innovation Committee is to strengthen the Basic Qualification Test (PPAT) for public office candidates so that members of the National Assembly can also take the exam. “I hope to see if the lawmakers will receive it,” he said.
When asked if the level of remarks on SNS is getting higher and higher, former CEO Lee said, “The strong expression means ‘how can you call it dog meat’ and ‘how can you say something like mutton meat'” “If you start going with cheap discourse or something like that, the situation will never improve, because when you point out, you have no choice but to use uncomfortable language,” he explained.
