People Power Party floor leader Song Eon-seok offered to resign on the 5th.
Song, the floor leader, said at a general meeting of lawmakers at the National Assembly that "in this election, the people did not give unilateral power to any single party or any single authority," and "in keeping with this will of the people, I believe a fresh start is needed."
Song, the floor leader, said, "Because my capabilities were lacking, I have not yet fully achieved the task of rebuilding the party," and added, "now that task should be carried on by a new floor leader."
Song said, "If I sum up my feelings over the past year, it could be called humiliation," and added, "at every moment of negotiation, much pain piled up due to the invisible, arrogant and dogmatic management by the absolute majority party. In the next general election, please win without fail and repay it, senior and fellow lawmakers."
Song, the floor leader, said, "I too will return to being a rank-and-file lawmaker and, with the diligence of a devoted oarsman rowing a battleship that cuts through the waves, do my utmost in the role entrusted to me for the country, the people and our party," and added, "I sincerely thank you for the help, encouragement and warm advice you have given me."
