“It was a headwind to appear early a month after losing the presidential election,” and “I was proud.” At the parliamentary-party committee meeting, the pro-Moon Jae-in lawmakers pointed out advisor Lee Jae-myung as the person responsible for the defeat in the local election.

Then, within one day, lawmakers Lee Jae-myung-gye launched a counterattack.

Rep. Kim Nam-guk showed a sharp reaction through SNS, saying that the lawmakers raised the theory of responsibility for Lee Jae-myung as if they were working right after the election, and that it seemed like they planned to kill Lee Jae-myung.

Pro-Moon lawmakers rebutted that they could not comprehend Lee Jae-myung-gye’s backlash.

A pro-Moon-gye lawmaker said in a phone call with MBC, “Renewal is possible only if you take responsibility.

A re-elected lawmaker from the metropolitan area also said, “Rep. Jae-myung Lee must give up his greed for the next party, so that conflicts between factions will be resolved and the party’s renewal will also be accelerated.”

In the end, the core demand of the pro-Moon community is that Advisor Lee Jae-myung not to attend the National Convention in August.

This is because the next party leader can control the nomination of candidates in the next general election for a two-year term.

In the end, as the confrontation between the pro-Lee Jae-myung realm and the anti-Ie Jae-myung realm over whether this torture will challenge the party’s powers is expected to intensify, attention is paid to when and how this secret adviser will take a stand.
