文政権の側近、公認落ちで波紋…韓国最大野党の分裂懸念
A close aide of the Moon administration causes ripples after losing official recognition... Fears of splitting South Korea's largest opposition party
South Korea's largest opposition party, the Democratic Party of Korea (DP), appears to be in deeper conflict over the nomination of its official candidates for the general election to be held in April.
Lim Jong-seok, who is said to be a representative of the pro-literature (Moon Jae-in) faction, former presidential secretary general
With the cutoff (official exclusion) on the 7th, the lurking spark of a "clash between civilizations (Moon Jae-in and Lee Jae-myung)" exploded, and non-Myeong-aligned (non-Lee Jae-myung) members of the party are now leaving the party. .
On the 27th, Rep. Park Yong-sun left the party, and on the 28th, Rep. Seol-hoon also announced his departure from the party. In addition, the Democratic Party and the Progressive Party are organizing the Ulsan Buk-gu
Lee Sang-heon, an incumbent lawmaker from this region who had opposed the agreement to single-candidate, also left the party. Those who left the party over the nomination were National Assembly Vice-President Kim Yong-Ji and Lee Soo.
This is the fifth person, including Rep. Jin (Lee Soo-jin). Furthermore, on this day, the party's official management committee strategically (nominated) Bupyeong, Incheon, which is the constituency of Rep. Hong Yong-pyo, a center of pro-Liberal liberals.
They announced that they will request the Strategic Accreditation Management Committee to designate it as a regional area. This is seen as a de facto cut-off for Rep. Hong, further escalating tensions within the party.
The perception of non-Mei-affiliated members, who had been protesting by pointing out the fairness of the party's evaluations of incumbent members and opinion polls on candidate suitability, remained at the level of suspicion.
It appears that he has reached the stage where he is convinced that he should ``discard non-Mei-affiliated members,'' and he is solidifying his decision to leave the party. On this day, the Myeong-kei strongly criticized the cut-off of former director Im.
Rep. Hong appeared on CBS Radio and said, ``The people should be judging the political prosecutors and Yun's dictatorship, but they are judging the Moon administration,
"The (party) leadership is preoccupied with making judgments," he said. Rep. Yoon Yong-chan, who served as the chief public communications official at the Blue House during the Moon administration, said in an interview with BBS Radio, ``Lee Jae-Myung Party
``This is to complete the party's transformation into a private party,'' and pointed out, ``From the perspective of the party representative election in August and the presidential election in 2027, this means completely cutting off any rivalry in the bud.''
Director Im former, who was cut, held a press conference at the National Assembly and strategically appointed Jeon Hyun-hee, former chairman of the People's Rights and Interests Commission, to the constituencies in Jung-gu and Seongdong-gu, Seoul, where he had been preparing to run.
He asked the leadership, including Representative Lee Jae-myung, to "reconsider" the decision. Mr. Ninformer even denied the possibility of considering running for office in another region, and announced his resignation after hearing the response from the leadership.
As a result, he set up a ``backwater camp.'' The suspended election campaign will also resume. However, Representative Lee effectively rejected former Director Im's request.
On the same day, Representative Lee told reporters regarding former Director Im's opposition, ``In the process of deciding candidates for the general election,
"There are very many cases where the party's decisions differ from those of individuals," he said, adding, "Conflict and backlash are inevitable." Lawmakers who left the party include Rep. Seol on this day, as well as Rep. Hong Yeong-pyeong and Rep. Jeon Hae-cheol.
There is an increasing possibility that non-Mei-affiliated members of the party who received low evaluations, such as members of the Democratic Party of Japan, will leave the party. Regarding the designation of Bupyeong as a strategic area, Rep. Hong said on the radio, ``This is a strategy to completely drive out Hong Yong-pyeong.It is unacceptable.''
” he protested. Rep. Hong was asked if he had any other options, such as leaving the party, and he answered, "Yes." Rep. Hong specifically stated, ``There is a possibility that there could be 5 to 10 people (withdrawing from the party),'' and expressed his concern for the level of defections.
He even mentioned the possibility of the party splitting due to group defections. Within the party, non-Myong-affiliated members formed the tentative name ``Democratic Solidarity'' after leaving the party, and before the election, they formed the ``New Democratic Alliance'' led by former representative Lee Nak-yeon.
There is also talk that they are considering a joint venture with the ``New Future.'' The accredited management committee has established Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, the constituency of Representative Ki Dong-min, who is classified as a member of the Kim Geun-tae family.
The matter that has been transferred to the jurisdiction of the Strategic Authorization Committee is also a powder keg. The Certified Management Committee has been accused of illegal politics by former Chairman Kim Bong-hyun of Star Mobility, the main culprit in the Lime Fund fraud case.
The reason was that he is currently on trial on charges of receiving government funds. However, pro-Myeong-affiliated lawmaker Lee Suzyon, who is on trial for the same charges, was given the opportunity to hold a competitive election within the party to select an official candidate.
There is a debate about fairness. The conflict over official recognition has grown to the point where it cannot be controlled, but party leaders, including Chairman Lee, have repeatedly insisted that there is no problem with official recognition and have criticized the pro-Mei line.
There is. Representative Lee said, ``You are free to join the party, and you are free to leave the party.''He added, ``I won't compete because I feel like I will lose.This kind of thing will not look very beautiful in the eyes of the people.''
Supreme Commissioner Park Jong Hyun said at the Supreme Committee, ``The quiet official approval is highly likely to be a private election in which someone deeply interfered,'' adding, ``The results are not good.
However, it is wrong to unnecessarily undermine the party's performance evaluation system."
