People's Power Representative Lee Jun-seok said today (28th) that he could even consider expulsion from his office at the National Assembly level in relation to the issue of Kwak Sang-do, who was removed from his son's 'Hwacheon Daeyu 5 billion won severance pay' controversy.



Chairman Lee said on the radio today, "Rep. Kwak is a person who has left the party, so now I have no choice but to comment on how he is going to be a member of the National Assembly. The party will respond strictly."



Regarding the specific direction of response, he explained, "Of course, we must make a decision that is in line with the public's eye level." "If Rep. Kwak does not make a decision such as resigning from his position as a member of the National Assembly, there will be a procedure for the Ethics Committee of the National Assembly or the story of expulsion."



"Actually, there are few cases where this procedure has been carried out properly so far, but in this case, I think that the direction of cooperation among lawmakers is set in line with the public's eye level," he said.



Representative Lee emphasized that lawmaker Kwak should resign voluntarily before the National Assembly-level process proceeds, and emphasized that "doing so is in line with the public's expectations."



Regarding Rep. Kwak's explanation of his son's severance pay of 5 billion won, he pointed out, "The explanation so far is insufficient.

Lee Jae-myung, governor of Gyeonggi Province, a powerful presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, who is suspected of preferential treatment for the Daejang-dong development project, said, "Some people have taken on the role of a designer for a case that seems to have generated undue profits of close to 1 trillion won. They can get to the real thing quickly.”



He continued, "It will be very difficult for the police and prosecutors to investigate the allegations of a powerful presidential candidate before the election," he said.



Regarding the case of Rep. Jang Je-won, who resigned from the head of the camp situation office Yoon Seok-yeol due to controversy over her son's unlicensed driving, he said, "It is different from Kwak's case." I did.



In response to President Moon Jae-in's proposal for an end-of-war declaration at the UN General Assembly, President Lee, who completed his visit to the US on the 22nd and 27th, said, "I got the impression that it was not announced in a state where information sharing and consultations with the US had been properly conducted."



“North Korea wants to be recognized as a nuclear power, but if it acknowledges it and declares an end to the war, if you compare it to a car, you press the accelerator and the brake at the same time, and then the car breaks down,” he said.
