Han Donghoon: "President Lee Should Take Responsibility and Apologize, Not Push for a One-Point Constitutional Amendment"

"Competence and Ability Must Be Demonstrated for Conservative Reconstruction"

On June 23, independent lawmaker Han Dong-hoon commented on President Lee Jaemyung's proposal for a one-point constitutional amendment to reform the National Election Commission, saying, "Instead of using the (infringement of citizens' voting rights) as a pretext to push for a one-point constitutional amendment he desires, he should take responsibility and apologize for this situation."

Han made these remarks during the "National Assembly Forum on the Voter Rights Infringement Incident and Election System Reform," co-hosted by Lee Sung-kwon of the People Power Party and the Pan-Civil Society Coalition, at the National Assembly Members' Office Building on the same day.

Addressing President Lee, Han pointed out, "Why does he not apologize and instead pretend as if he is the victim?" Han also stated, "Wi Cheol-hwan is a friend of President Lee and is currently serving as acting chair of the National Election Commission. Both the Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General of the National Election Commission were newly appointed after the Lee Jaemyung administration began. While the commission is supposed to be independent, we all know it is not 100% so in reality."

Regarding the National Election Commission, Han remarked, "Incompetence at this level is corruption," adding, "It would be better to take bribes." He further explained, "I do not believe the issues with the commission are limited to a lack of personnel." He also assessed, "It is not a lack of enthusiasm, but a problem with direction," and, "Strict oversight is absolutely necessary."

Han stated, "Conservative reconstruction means being recognized as a just and competent conservative," and added, "The goal of conservative reconstruction is to achieve a landslide victory in 2028 and to regain power in 2030." He continued, "To accomplish this, we must demonstrate our competence and ability in this dire situation where justice and capability have collapsed."
