“The by-election is not a smoke bomb for the opposition party leader.”
People Power Party, is campaigning in support of Geumjeong-gu Mayor candidate Yoon Il-hyeon in front of the E-Mart Geumjeong branch in Geumjeong-gu, Busan on the afternoon of the 5th. 2024.10.5/News 1″/>
On the 5th, the People Power Party criticized Lee Jae-myeong, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, for saying during a campaign to support the governor of Ganghwa County, “Democracy is something that is brought down even in the middle of the process,” calling it “an unconstitutional challenge that directly contradicts representative democracy.”
Spokesperson Kim Hye-ran said in a comment that day, “Representative Lee’s remarks are not a campaign to support his party’s candidate, but are merely a plan to overturn the result by means other than the law even before he, as a criminal defendant, has been sentenced under the law.”
Spokesperson Kim continued by asking, “What does it mean to bring down someone if punishment does not work?” and “Even under representative democracy, what does it mean to just bring them down without even holding an election?”
Spokesperson Kim also said, “Are you afraid of your own judicial risk, that is, of being found guilty by the law, so that you are willing to exercise your power even by making false instigation?”
At the same time, he said, “The Ganghwa-gun mayoral by-election is an election to select local workers, not a smoke bomb to bulletproof the opposition party leader,” and added, “Representative Lee strictly urges that the by-election not be turned into an arena for political strife.”
Earlier this morning, Representative Lee said at a rally to support the re-election in Ganghwa-gun, “If things are not done properly, if it is serious enough to change my mind in my election and not wait for the election, it is democracy and representative politics to pull it down midway.” Representative Lee did not mention the impeachment of the president, but emphasized the theory of judging the regime and referred to it as ‘pulling down’.
