President Lee Jae-myung Takes Local Election Results as a Warning from the People

President Lee Jaemyung said at a press conference marking his first anniversary in office on the 8th that the results of the June 3 local elections were a warning from the public to him and the current administration. He said that a more humble attitude and greater modesty are needed. President Lee said there were scenes during the election process that were difficult to understand, but that in the end they must be accepted as the will of the people. He also stressed that the president must feel that responsibility in any situation. Regarding the special prosecutor bill on fabricated indictments, which is facing controversy over dropping charges, he explained that it should be judged according to the law and common sense. He also criticized the shortage of ballots as a serious issue that undermined the foundations of democracy, and said we should reflect on whether there was a lack of sensitivity in dealing with sovereignty.
