Kim Min-seok and Song Young-gil criticize Jeong Cheong-rae's party leader bid

Representative Song Younggil and former Prime Minister Kim Minseok, who are running in the Democratic Party leadership race, voiced criticism of former leader Jeong Cheongrae on the 13th. The two figures took issue with former leader Jeong's leadership and party management style amid intensifying internal competition. In a YouTube broadcast, Representative Song referred to former leader Jeong, even mentioning his family, and said he would not support him. He also criticized the situation in which the leader of the ruling party and the president are in conflict. He further argued that the way the party was run when he previously held the party leadership deepened exclusion and conflict. Former Prime Minister Kim said at a meeting with party members in the Anyang area that this party convention is very important, and that if the party cannot be changed with the right course and leadership, both the party and the president could be shaken. He said he would begin revising the nomination system the day after the convention, emphasizing expansiveness and fairness.
