“Hong Jun-pyo, the mayor of Daegu, expressed his criticism regarding the rumors of Han Dong-hoon, former emergency preparedness committee chairman of the People Power Party, running for the party’s leadership convention on the 16th, stating, ‘Can a party that failed to win the general election again due to a member saying they will take on the role of party leader have a future to rely on that same individual?’
In his Facebook post on the same day, Mayor Hong said, ‘Are you saying you will continue to do politics under the one who has led us to hell by becoming Moon Jae-in’s hunting dog, without even a trace of shame?’
He also urged, ‘My support for Yoon (Yoon Suk-yeol, the president) is not because I like his policies, but to prevent a repeat of the 2017 crisis (impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye),’ and pleaded, “Let’s be ashamed and fulfill our roles properly.”
Furthermore, Mayor Hong emphasized, ‘Whether I succeed as a lawmaker or not after the election, it is because of my own abilities,’ and added, ‘Even for just one day, let’s act like lawmakers and politicians.’
He referred to the 2017 impeachment crisis of former President Park and the investigation into the government’s corruption under the Moon Jae-in administration, saying, ‘Is there a law to prevent such crises from happening again? How can we manage the chaotic National Assembly in June with the cowardly thought of blaming Yoon for wanting to live only for oneself?’
