Gyeonggi Province governor Lee Jae-myung, the presumptive Democratic Party leader, warned his rival, former leader Lee Nak-yeon, "I hope that you will reprove the camp officials for spreading fake news that 'Lee Jae-myung promoted regionalism' and promote nationalism."
In a post on Facebook, Governor Lee said, "The officials at the Candidate's Camp Lee Nak-yeon are 'extremely negative' and then, "They are attacking me by making up words that I didn't even say. Let's not promote regionalism, but instead promote nationalism. I am doing it,” he said.
In an interview with the media on the 22nd, Governor Lee met with former party leader Lee, who was a party leader, on July 30 last year and said, "In the 5,000-year history of the Korean Peninsula, there has never been a time in the history of the Korean Peninsula that Baekje became the main agent and unified the entire Korean Peninsula. ) if you go out and win, then history."
In response, Camp Spokesperson Bae Jae-jeong criticized, "When President Moon Jae-in advocates for balanced national development and strives for national unity, is candidate Lee Jae-myung promoting 'Lee Nak-yeon's weakness is Honam' and 'Honam invincibility'?"
When Lee released the full press interview on Facebook, he said to Lee, "I thought it was better for Lee to win than I did to win, so I ask the candidate to achieve the first great unity in the history of the Korean Peninsula, centered on Honam, and put an end to nationalism. Don't you remember what I said?" he asked.
At a press conference at the National Assembly today, the presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung Election Task Force also held a press conference and said, "It is truly shocking that the Lee Nak-yeon camp is trying to reverse the approval rating by bringing out the exile regionalism that undermines the spirit of Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun." He apologized and demanded that the camp spokesperson be taken action.
