Jang Dong-hyeok of the People Power Party said on the 23rd that "the Democratic Party of Korea and the Lee Jae-myung administration are the ones who have decided to part ways with the people and are throwing everything away to do politics for one person, Lee Jae-myung."
This remark by Jang was a rebuttal to Democratic Party of Korea leader Jung Chung-rae, who the previous day criticized Jang's nationwide tour speeches on his Facebook page, writing, "You cannot decide to break up with former President Yoon Suk-yeol and are increasingly deciding to break up with the people."
Jang met with reporters before attending a service at Shinkwang Church in Changwon, South Gyeongsang, that day. When reporters asked for his view on Jung Chung-rae's Facebook post from the day before, Jang said, "Seeing the representative overreact to my schedule makes me think this schedule is proving effective."
Earlier, former emergency committee chair of the Rebuilding Korea Party Cho Kuk proposed a debate in connection with prosecutors' decision not to appeal the Daejang-dong case. On this, Jang said, "We intend to proceed as quickly as possible." Jang said, "Before the debate with former chair Cho begins, if Representative Jung expresses his intention to participate, he is welcome at any time."
