Kim Jong-in is angry with Lee Eon-ju
“It’s an election strategy… I will talk about it on Monday”

On the 28th, former lawmaker Lee Eon-ju, a preliminary candidate for the Busan Mayor, said, “If the Special Act on Gadukdo New Airport is not passed, I will resign even if I become the final candidate.”

In a call with Chosun Biz, Chairman Kim Jong-in of the People’s Power Emergency Response Committee said, “(Lee) did that as an election strategy.” Chairman Kim was displeased that Congressman Lee unexpectedly held a press conference and discussed the resignation of the candidate’s position in a situation where the response plan for the power of the people was not determined. Chairman Kim’s intention is that Lee’s move aggravates confusion while being criticized for causing confusion over the party’s position on the new airport special law.

Chairman Kim said about the party’s plans for the new airport on Gadeokdo Island, saying, “On Monday (February 1st) we will go and talk about everything, so wait and see.” It is that the party leadership will visit Busan in person and reveal the organized position.

In November of last year, the power of the people initiated a special law in which the party’s Busan lawmakers exempted the preliminary feasibility study (preliminary) of the new airport on Gadeok Island. However, the Daegu-Gyeongbuk lawmakers, who currently occupy the majority of the party, are struggling with this.

In an interview with BBS Radio, Ho-young Joo, the representative of the Suseong-gap district of Daegu, said in an interview with BBS radio, “It will be an evil precedent.” Rep. Kwak Sang-do, a regional district in Daegu’s Jung-Nam-gu district, is preparing to initiate the’Miyang New Airport Special Act’ against the Gadeokdo New Airport Special Act.

In this situation, former lawmaker Lee held an emergency press conference at the National Assembly and said, “If the Special Act on Gadeokdo New Airport is not passed, I will resign even if I become the final candidate.” Former lawmaker Lee said, “The majority of Busan citizens have misunderstood that they oppose Gadeokdo new airport in the leadership of the people, and the public sentiment in Busan is rapidly deteriorating.” “Please do it.”

The reaction within the party is cold over this. At a New Year’s press conference on the 27th, Chairman Kim said that he would hold a non-committee meeting in Busan on the 1st of next month and announce the party’s position on Gadeokdo Island. It is said that Gadeok also poured cold water on the confusion traffic control.

“The contents that the chairperson will announce in Busan includes a stronger pledge to promote Gadeokdo Island even if we become (the mayor of Busan),” said a member of the Busan district. Said. He said, “There are a lot of talks in the party, such as (about this former lawmaker) X-men?

Another member of the Busan region said, “It seems that Lee was trying to make the shape as if he had gone to Gadeokdo Island because he was there,” and said, “The party aside, only he knows.”

A third-tier lawmaker in the party also said to the press conference of former lawmaker Lee, “Isn’t it possible that noise marketing has also been successful in terms of marketing?”

At a press conference, former lawmaker Lee also talked about’illegal political funds’. “In order to hold the election for the head of a large-area group, even though it is a preliminary candidate for which sponsorship cannot be properly collected, a vast organization must be moved to create public opinion. To do this properly, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars per month. “Because there is no, it is inevitable that you have to receive and use illegal funds.”

Lee’s mention of’illegal funds’ has led to an attack by the Democratic Party. Choi In-ho, chief spokesman of the Democratic Party, said, “(Former lawmaker Lee) raised suspicion that preliminary candidates belonging to the people’s strength are holding illegal money elections,” he said. “The truth must be clearly revealed.”

So, in an article posted on Facebook, former lawmaker Lee said, “I’m excited to see the Democratic Party distorting and refuting what I said with the aim of holding a fair election and reforming politics.” .

Despite the turmoil brought about by a press conference by former lawmaker Lee, the power of the people is expected to announce the party’s position on the new airport of Gadeokdo Island through a non-capital meeting held in Busan on the 1st of next month. Rep. Song Eon-seok, Chairman Kim’s secretary office, said, “There are no changes to the Busan schedule so far.”
