Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, stressed that the biggest risk to integration is political retaliation and that it should be stopped.
In a luncheon meeting with Lee Seok-yeon, the former head of the Legislative Office, who is classified as a moderate and conservative figure, Lee pointed out that retaliation leads to retaliation and if it does not stop, it will inevitably lead to a civil war at the end.
When asked if he would like to declare that he would break the cycle of political retaliation if he took power, he answered that such a declaration itself might seem arrogant, but if he had the chance, he would have to cut it at the right stage.
Representative Lee said that retaliation makes the people unhappy whenever the regime is changed, and President Yoon Suk Yeol also wants to stop political retaliation.
The former director met with reporters after luncheon and said he had a candid discussion with representative Lee on the issue of constitutional amendment to shorten the president's term.
Lee said he told Lee that if the Democratic Party of Korea comes forward now, it could lead to political strife, so he needs to form a broad consensus in civil society first and cooperate with the ruling party, the People's Power.
