Yoo Seung-min, a former member of the People's Power, strongly criticized the party ethics committee for giving former leader Lee Jun-seok an additional one-year suspension of party membership.

Former Rep. Yoo posted on his Facebook today (7th), "The freedom and right of a person who has been deprived of his party leadership to seek the court's judgment to restore his right, that is the core reason for disciplinary action...Isn't it funny that a passing dog would laugh", " If sheep-headed meat is the reason for disciplinary action, why isn't he punishing Party member Yoon Seok-yeol for saying, "These xx guys, x are sold", and directly hit the ethics committee and President Yoon.



There are also voices of opposition from the pro-Lee Jun-seok community within the party as well.

Representative Ha Tae-kyung of People's Strength posted on SNS today (7th), "The ethics committee disciplinary action is petty political retaliation." Additional punishment.”

Rep. Kim Woong said to Lee Yang-hee, the ethics chairperson, "I defeated Chu Mi-ae." "I couldn't even punish Choo Mi-ae for filing a conservation lawsuit, but Lee Yang-hee took retaliatory disciplinary action for applying for an injunction despite the decision to cite the first injunction."

Heo Eun-ah, a member of the People's Power, also said, "Today is not Lee Jun-seok as an individual, but the day the conservative's 'freedom' disappeared.



Meanwhile, with the six-month suspension of party membership decided on July 8 and one-year suspension of party membership, which is an additional disciplinary measure, political blow to former leader Lee Jun-seok, who lost his party membership by January 2024, is inevitable.

What's more, he also faces the uncertainty of whether he will be nominated in the next general election in April 2024.

Yesterday (6th), after the court dismissed the application for injunction, the pro-Lee Jun-seok-gye Kim Yong-tae, former member of the Youth Supreme Council, who met Lee Jun-seok in person, said, "I am trying to continue communication with party members within the party and with many people outside the party. He said, "There is no possibility of the establishment of a new party at this time."
