Earlier, Senior Spokesperson Oh Young-hoon commented, "Gyeonggi-do residents' blood money is flowing toward fuel and vehicle maintenance for Candidate Jae-myung Lee's election campaign."
The Lee Jae-myung camp claims that the comments are false, saying, "I never spent any tax on the election process."
They are also demanding that the party take decisive action so as not to obscure the primary by 'don't ask negative'.
Lee Nak-yeon's camp also launched a counterattack.
By referring to the fact that candidate Lee Jae-myung was fined 1.5 million won for drunk driving in July 2004, he raised suspicions that drunk driving was not just once, but twice.
Candidate Jae-myung Lee dismissed the 'suspect of recidivism', saying that he had submitted criminal records during the nomination screening process.
Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol said he would be careful in the future, saying that he caused a misunderstanding while explaining his 'unclean food remarks' when he started recruiting party members.
Former Auditor General Choi Jae-hyung held a non-face-to-face declaration of candidacy today (the 4th), 38 days after he resigned as chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection.
In the midst of this, it is reported that the People's Power is examining the pro-Park pro-Park ex-rep. Kim Jin-tae, who was also called the 'Sniper Yoon Seok-yeol' during the personnel hearings of the National Assembly, as the leader of the party's presidential candidate verification team.
