Hong Young-pyo Explains Why He Left the Democratic Party: Interview with MBC News Outpost

Cast: Hong Young-pyo, member of the Democratic Party of Korea

Q. This morning you announced your withdrawal from the party. You revealed the reason why I leave the party through the news. Please tell me one more time why you should leave the Democratic Party.

Q. Since you announced your withdrawal from the party today, the current Democratic Party is a fake in which democracy has disappeared. You said that the current nomination of the Democratic Party is to turn Lee Jae-myung into a party. It was last December. Principles and common sense Even when legislators leave the party, legislators should use this as an opportunity to unify and unite the party. Didn’t you send this message? Even then, members who left the party pointed out that the democracy of the Democratic Party had disappeared, but at that time they still chose to stay in the party and unite through it. Given that she sent this message and now withdraws from the party during the nomination process, it seems likely that there will be criticism that this serves to prolong her personal political life. How to counteract this?

Q. While raising the same question, there are those who choose to stay in the party and those who choose to leave the party. The first representative is former chief of staff Lim Jong-seok, and this can be interpreted as an intention to somehow remain in the party and seek opportunities. But what is the reason why you have no choice but to leave the party?

Q. You have been elected four times in Bupyeong, Incheon. You said you’re going to run for office in this district, so are you running as an independent? Or are you thinking of a different regiment?

Q. There was a report that MP Seol Hoon had previously left the party, so they are planning a democratic alliance together. Who are the four active legislators referring to? In the end, you are assuming that we will eventually go to the new future together.

Q. With your withdrawal from the party today, is it possible that further withdrawals of active members of the Democratic Party will occur? So, do you think there is some consensus among those outside the party who think about the injustice of this withdrawal from the party and this nomination process?

Q. If you were to summarize it a little, would you say that it is a sort of association called Democratic Solidarity, together with the member of the National Assembly and other figures from outside the National Assembly, as well as MP Seol Hoon? This will lead to a structure where movements come together for a new future. Ultimately, even if we went to this general election, it would be the headline of a new future. Can I make this prediction?

Q. Considering your position within the Democratic Party, since you were the pro-Moon president, you must have had such symbolic significance and played a vital role. Do you think my leaving the party will have any impact on the Democratic Party?

Q. Your withdrawal from the party will also have repercussions in your constituency. There is also an analysis like this, but it means that Bupyeong and Gyeyang live in the same area, and since the member leaves the party and runs for office, it will also affect the election of Representative Lee Jae-myeong in Gyeyang. . There is also this analysis. What do you think about this?

Q. If we think about it the other way around, even though general elections are about electing local workers, voters tend not to see much difference between their political party and their affiliation. So do you think that your choice will be sufficiently convincing for those who support the Democratic Party?

Q. The analysis is that support for the Democratic Party is dissipating due to the noise about the Democratic Party’s nomination and subsequent withdrawal from the party. However, even in the third zone, no clear alternative force has yet played a central role. So the approval rating for the new future is not yet that high, how do you see these things?

Q. Since you have been part of the Democratic Party for a long time, I will definitely win this general election and eventually return to my original Democratic Party. Do you have this thought?
