Oh Se-hoon: "Representative Jang Donghyuk Must Step Down... He Has Driven the Party Down a Path of Self-Destruction"
Criticizing the Expulsion of Former Leader Han Donghoon
"The Party Is Isolating and Collapsing on Its Own"
"Becoming Not Just Ignored, But Hated by the People"
On January 29, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon stated, "Representative Jang Donghyuk has ultimately driven the party down a path of self-destruction," and insisted, "Representative Jang must step down immediately." He strongly criticized the People Power Party leadership's decision to expel former leader Han Donghoon.
On Facebook that day, Mayor Oh wrote, "Is this truly a decision made for the country and its people? No political party that wishes to be loved by the public could ever make such a choice," adding, "In the end, this can only be seen as the party being privatized for the benefit of the party leader and his Red Guard faction."
He continued, "As someone who has watched over the party for a long time, I cannot help but lament when I think about how, after the conflict between Yoon Sukyeol and Han Donghoon, our party went through a nightmare and even experienced the tragedy of impeachment. However, this is not right. How pathetic does our party look in the eyes of the public? Our party is now not only being ignored by the people, but has become an object of hatred."
He further pointed out, "The only strength an opposition party has to fight against overwhelming power comes from the legitimacy granted by the people. When our party shows itself as isolated and collapsing from within, on what grounds can we expect the people's support? When the autocracy and ambition of the Lee Jaemyung administration threaten to engulf this country, how can we claim that we will fight on behalf of the people?"
Mayor Oh stressed, "Politics can only gain strength when it speaks in the language and temperature of the people. At a time when we should be standing firm once again, strengthening the hearts of despairing citizens and supporters, and moving boldly toward the future, Representative Jang has made a devastating decision that has broken our party's wings."
