The “Moon-Myeong conflict” escalates before the cut
Go Min-jeong criticizes “only pro-Myung leadership meetings”
Pro-Myung-sun insists: “We must take responsibility for handing over the government.”
The pro-Moon (pro-Moon Jae-myung) leadership of the ruling Korean Democratic Party has decided not to allow former Presidential Chief of Staff Lim Jong-seok (pictured) to run for Seoul Central-Seongdong-gap, but the pro-Moon leadership (pro-Moon) -Moon Jae-in) core party members, including former leader Lim, strongly protested. Ahead of the “nomination exclusion” phase that will begin in earnest during the Lunar New Year holiday, the “(Pro-) Myung-(Pro-) Luna civil war” is intensifying.
Former chief of staff Lim said on the 8th: “I call on the party leadership, party officials and those assisting Representative Lee Jae-myung,” and added: “If we go further, we will not be forgiven by the party “. members and the people, regardless of whether we are pro-official or pro-official.” He expressed the “enough is enough” position to the pro-Myung camp, which urged him not to run, or at least to run in a difficult district. Former director Lim pointed out that former President Moon Jae-in recently said in a meeting with Representative Lee that “the pro-Myung and pro-Moon picture is unhappy” and said: “The Yangsan meeting between Representative Lee and former President Moon should not be harmed.”
A pro-Moon figure close to former Chief Lim said, “Former Chief Lim is also aware of the trend that the party leadership, including Rep. Lee, will not easily give him the Sungdong-Gap nomination,” and He added: “Once this trend became clear through media reports, it began in earnest.” “He stepped forward to raise his voice.”
Pro-Moon lawmakers within the party also seethed. Regarding the fact that some pro-Myung legislators held a closed-door meeting on the 5th to discuss the future of senior legislators who were former ministers in the Moon Jae-in government, including former Chief of Staff Lim, the Supreme Council member Go Min-jung, a former member of Moon Jae-in’s Blue House, said: “On that day (the 5th), we (the party leadership) held a closed-door meeting in Gwangju. raised his voice and asked, “At the time when Representative Lee announced that we would visit Gwangju and form a grand opposition coalition, did anyone meet and discuss excluding pro-Moon figures? Goh was reported to have protested in the message room of the party’s senior members’ group, asking: “Did the pro-Myung legislators hold a meeting without me?” MP Goh also said this day: “I am one of the representative figures of the pro-Moon faction, so are you saying that I should not participate in the general elections?”
Rep. Yoon Kun-young, also from Moon Jae-in’s Blue House, said, “It’s strange that Lee Jae-myung is accepted but Moon Jae-in is not.” He then told Representative Lee: “It doesn’t matter what people around you say, since you talked about ‘prestigious political parties’ (an expression created after Representative Lee and former President Moon) and melting pot politics. pot, it is only through this that you can resolve the current issue: “There is only one representative,” he said.
A prominent pro-Moon lawmaker raised his voice in a phone call, saying, “Where are the Democratic Party members who were not pro-Moon during the Moon Jae-in administration?” and “Who would understand now if we said Choo Mi -ae is acceptable and Lim Jong-seok is not?”
Pro-Myung leaders refrained from making public comments. However, a key official said: “There will be no change in the principle that those who enjoyed great power and benefits under the Moon Jae-in administration must shoulder the great responsibility of giving up so much power.” Another key official further said, “The leadership, including Representative Lee, is firm in the idea that those in the Moon Jae-in administration should at least show the determination to run for elections in difficult places,” and added, “ We will discuss sequentially according to the indicated procedures and the planned program.”
