<이재명 / 더불어민주당 대선 후보> “I will offer my bow of apology in the meaning of being reborn as a changed and innovative Democratic Party.”

Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung knelt, saying, “I couldn’t take responsibility for the people’s pain more sensitively and quickly.”

At the same time, he said that he would handle a total of 106 cases, including the Development Profit Redemption Act, the time-off system for civil servants and teachers union, and the Real Estate Transaction Report Act, at this regular session of the National Assembly.

The bill, which is difficult to reach agreement with the opposition, was driven by a strong drive, emphasizing speed war, saying that it should be dealt with alone.

Key officials have been forced to resign.

The secretary-general and the chairman of the policy committee have expressed their intention to step down from their positions. Existing figures have stepped back and contributed to the reform of the party, such as broadening Lee’s discretion in appointing the predecessor.

<윤관석 / 더불어민주당 사무총장> “With the attitude of an elected heir, I will be a key factor in winning the new Democratic Party and the presidential election.”

However, the question about the possibility of the resignation of party leader Song Young-gil was not considered.

At the same time, the Democratic Party decided to set up a ‘Youth Leader’, which is independent of the existing predecessor, to entrust all powers to the young people inside and outside the party.

Those who set up breaking the dislike of the Democrats in the 2030s as their biggest task decided to set up a ‘Democratic Party, stop being stupid’ and ‘I hate both men and women’.

<권지웅 / 더불어민주당 청년선대위원장> “Recently, there have been legislators who have posted posts comparing women who have had children with women who have not. I think those are very inappropriate.”

It is noteworthy whether candidate Lee Jae-myung’s wins based on two pillars, legislative performance and the renewal of his predecessor, can serve as an opportunity for the approval rating to rebound during the remaining period.
