[22대 국회 키 플레이어] 〈2〉 Representative Lee Cheol-gyu, influential leader of the National Power Party
“Youngnam’s United Liberal Democrats should not vilify his supporters.”
100% of party members are against this revision… There is no pro-Yoon association, which is quite a disadvantage.
Leader “Dapjeongi”? It doesn’t have to be me… “I’ll decide whether to be a player or an assistant.”
People Power Party lawmaker Lee Cheol-gyu was interviewed by the Dong-A Ilbo at the office of the National Assembly building in Yeouido, Seoul, on the 26th. Representative Lee, who goes by the name “Jjinyun” (the real pro-Yoon Seok-yeol), said regarding the modifier “Jjinyun”: “It’s OK (to call me that). “I have a public relationship with the president,” he said. Representative Lee pointed out several times: “The management of the ‘Office of the President and the party is the same.” Reporter Song Eun-seok silverstone@donga.com
“Although the Democratic Party continues to place the burden on the President to exercise the right to request review (veto) in the 22nd National Assembly, if there is a bill that needs to be vetoed, the right to veto must be exercised whether it is 100 or 1,000 times.
People Power Party lawmaker Cheol-gyu Lee (Gangwon Donghae-Taebaek-Samcheok-Jeongseon), who won a third term in the 4/10 general election, said in an interview with the Dong-A Ilbo on the 26th: ” If we are careless with our words and actions, people will fall in love with the party of the overwhelming majority. “I don’t know when I will lose faith in you,” he said regarding the statements denying the neutrality of the Democratic Party members who ran for office he President of the National Assembly in the first half of the 22nd National Assembly, said: “They express themselves in an extreme way, saying: ‘There is no need to maintain political neutrality,’” but even during the military regime there was no Assembly national “winner takes all” genre criticized.
Representative Lee, who is given the modifier “Jjinyun” (true pro-Yoon Seok-yeol), is assessed as playing a bridging role between the party and the government by reading and broadcasting “Yunsim” (President Yoon Seok-yeol’s intentions yeol ). Ahead of the opening of the 22nd National Assembly, he is seen as the next influential leader of the People Power Party. When asked if he would run for office, Rep. Lee said, “It doesn’t have to be me,” but he left the possibility open, saying, “I have not lived a life of hesitation in the face of various difficulties.” . As for the crushing defeat of winning only 19 out of 122 metro area seats in the general election, “it wasn’t enough due to an inelegant campaign.” “I won’t consider whose fault it is,” he said. When asked about the dissolution of the pro-Yoon group, “Is there anything to disband the National Sympathy (a study group of the pro-Yoon group)? “Won’t it disappear after the 21st generation?”, he asked.
The interview was conducted for 1 hour and 45 minutes in Representative Lee’s office in the National Assembly. The following is a question and answer.
―The Chin Yoon group claims that “the answer is decided” (the answer is decided, the leader of the group is Lee Cheol-gyu).
“The leader of the next plan must compromise with the opposition party, persuade them well and firmly say things that are not helpful to the people. At the same time, it is better for someone who knows how to communicate well within the party and with party members to do it. It doesn’t have to be me. I’m also trying to persuade someone. However, there is criticism that the People Power Party cannot find the chairman of the emergency committee and that it must be avoided that it cannot even find the leader. I have not lived a life of hesitation in the face of difficulty. “I will decide whether to be a baduk player or an aide who helps the party behind the scenes.”
«Internally there is also talk of “I-I solidarity” (party leader Na Kyung-won, group leader Lee Cheol-gyu).
“It’s a strange story. It is a frame made externally. It seems that competitors are trying to harm me, a former MP. “This is a very embarrassing and absurd story.”
«After losing the general elections, the assessment spread within the party that it was a “party that has given up on the metropolitan area”.
“Why do you express yourself like this? The election campaign may have been inelegant, but that would be an understatement. The ruling party should have talked about its policies and vision for the future. I couldn’t deal with it emotionally. Compared to the Democratic Party, they have failed to reach people emotionally and meaningfully. “It’s true that it’s missing.”
“Do you agree with the statement that the leadership should be made up of people from the metropolitan area rather than Yeongnam?
“Do measures in the metropolitan area necessarily change just because people change? Is it true that you can’t do it because you come from a certain region? Is it okay if the person you don’t like is from the metro area? They call it Yeongnam Road Party and Yeongnam Democratic Alliance, but Yeongnam is the main support base or region that protects our party. “You shouldn’t disparage him so casually.”
«Ahead of the national convention, there are voices calling for a change to the 100% voting rule for party members.
“How is changing election rules before the election any different than the Democratic Party and its two major political parties unilaterally creating a semi-connected proportional representation system before the 21st general election? If you change it now, there will be more conversation about who will benefit or who will be disadvantaged. “If it is necessary to change the party, the new party leadership can decide.”
«It is believed that the Chinyun Group needs to change. Is the disintegration of development possible?
“This is not some kind of association. The National Empathy (called the pro-Yun study group) includes MP Ahn Cheol-soo and pro-Yoo lawmakers Seung-min. He would be criticized if someone monopolized information and public offices, but have any of the people called pro-yun received any public office? Rather, Rep. Jang Je-won was disadvantaged by not being able to participate in the election.”
«Opinions differ regarding the causes of the crushing defeat in the general election, including the responsibility of the President’s Office and that of former emergency committee chairman Han Dong-hoon.
“I won’t rate it. I don’t want to blame you for my fault. We lost because we were all missing. “From an electoral perspective, I hoped that the president would refresh the public with stories that would be nice to hear, but I also think it is foolish to focus only on the public and advance the national interest without considering one’s personal popularity. .”
“Did you contact former President Han after the general election?
“I spoke on the phone. Do you think we argued? NO. “Not long ago I had tea in the office with former general secretary Jang Dong-hyuk.”
«The Democratic Party is likely to push for the creation of special prosecutors, including Corporal Chae of the Marine Corps.
“Corporal Chae’s case is a simple case. Shouldn’t special prosecution be conducted when the Corruption Investigation Bureau fails to investigate properly? “If we become the majority party, will we create a Prosecutor’s Office of the National Assembly?”
