On the 14th, Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myeong asked the ‘dog girl’ (reform girl) to refrain from ‘internal attacks’, saying, “We must reduce the hatred towards our fellow soldiers and point the gun outwards. “.

In a meeting with about 200 party members at the party’s central building in Yeouido this afternoon, CEO Lee said, “If a split occurs due to a small internal difference and falls apart, the party loses .”

Regarding the case where an aide who served as his chief of staff during the days of Mayor of Seongnam and Governor of Gyeonggi was being investigated by the prosecution and made an extreme choice recently, “It happened because I was by my side, so I can’t help but take responsibility in some way. It’s an unfortunate situation,” he said.

Then, he stopped talking for a while as if he was crying, and added, “It’s unfortunate and bad that this is still happening in the process of catching people around to catch me.”
