Lee Nak-yeon, former leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, attributed the disastrous defeat in the local election to the fact that the Democratic Party held the election as if nothing had happened despite its loss in the presidential election.
Former CEO Lee Nak-yeon posted on his personal SNS today, “The 6.1 local election is over. The Democratic Party has lost. It was a painful defeat.” The strange response to the Democrats has exacerbated the disease,” he pointed out.
“In particular, the 37.7% voter turnout in Gwangju was a political impeachment of the current Democratic Party,” he said.
Regarding the cause of the disastrous defeat in the local election, Lee praised the Democratic Party for losing but fighting well instead of acknowledging the defeat in the last presidential election, and said that it was because they strategically misled and distorted the evaluation of the loss, saying, “Impossible to blame others, That is probably the most boring political behavior among the people.”
He added, “The immediate task is whether the new leadership and evaluation subject will be constituted justly and their work will be conducted fairly.” There should be no misrepresentation.”
