155 Democratic Party lawmakers gathered to discuss the future direction of the party The discussion continued late into the night.
As the party convention at the end of August to decide the next party was ahead, the biggest concern of the workshop was whether Rep. Jae-myung Lee would run for office.
Rep. Lee was silent in the so-called 'listening mode', but
[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party Member: Since he is not in a situation where he can make any decisions yet, we work hard to listen to the opinions of our members, party members, and our people with a low attitude. I'm
listening.] In a
free discussion, there were some checks and restraints, such as Rep. Seol-hoon's suggestion not to appear at the national convention.
In the individual discussion divided into 15 groups, Rep. Lee received attention as he was placed in the same group with many of his friends, including Rep. Hong Young-pyo, who is struggling to challenge the party.
However, it is known that this meeting mainly deals with matters related to national issues such as the economy of people's livelihood and the sluggish negotiation of the composition of the National Assembly, and it is known that the content related to the national convention is not mentioned much.
Based on the results of discussions held by each group, the Democratic Party will adopt a resolution this morning that contains the direction of preparation for the national convention and its stance as the first opposition party.
