Lee Jae-myeong, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, will hold a New Year’s press conference on the 12th and reveal his position on outstanding issues, including the prosecution investigation. It is the first time since the inauguration of the representative that CEO Lee has held a formal press conference in relation to pending “judicial risk” issues such as the suspicion of preferential treatment for the development of Daejang-dong.
Representative Lee will hold a New Year’s press conference in Sarangjae of the National Assembly this morning. It has been two days since CEO Lee appeared to the prosecution as a suspect in connection with the suspicion of “Seongnam FC donation” on the 10th and was investigated. For this reason, questions and answers on various allegations surrounding Lee and plans to respond to the prosecution’s investigation are expected at today’s conference. Amid growing “judicial risk” concerns centered around non-Lee Jae-myeong (scream) circles within the party, Lee’s plan for party harmony is also a subject of concern.
Plans for overcoming the public livelihood crisis will also be a focus of the conference. Representative Lee criticized the Yoon government for focusing only on investigations to eliminate political opponents rather than preparing countermeasures even in the face of economic crises in public livelihood. On the 11th, the previous day, Incheon, which was visited as part of the “Into the People, Listening Tour”, condemned “(the prosecution’s investigation) is an attempt to manipulate violent distortions” and then said : “I will focus on overcoming the public livelihood crisis that the government has all but given up on.”
“Yun Seok-yeol’s theory of government” is also a major topic of mention. The Democratic Party repeatedly attacks the security insecurity controversy that has been raised over recent incidents of North Korean drones invading airspace. In addition, there is a possibility that Rep. Lee will take a stand against President Seok-Yeol Yoon’s proposed reorganization of the main constituency system.
