Candidate Lee Seong-hae, the political director of CBS, asked at a debate with the Korea Broadcasting Journalists’ Club on whether the alliance with the Open Democratic Party would again fall into the ‘swamp of the motherland’. Because of this, I want to apologize once again for the shortcomings of the Democratic Party here.”
When asked if he had made an official apology for the situation in the country, he made it clear that it was an official apology, saying, “To the extent that I can, I sincerely apologize with a very low attitude.”
Candidate Lee diagnosed that the incident of former Attorney General Cho Kuk was the direct cause of the Democratic Party’s criticism as a “naenambul” party.
He said, “In fact, the democratic reform camp should be more honest, and it is right to take greater responsibility for even small flaws. It is because they advocated for that.” ‘ This attitude is probably the main cause of people’s rebuke to the Democratic Party. The so-called nae-nambul,” he added.
He added, “Of course, we must take responsibility for what is wrong, and we must acknowledge that the higher the position and the greater the responsibility, the higher the level of criticism,” he said. It is an inexcusable mistake to have undermined expectations, disappoints and hurts.”

Candidate Lee said, “There are several goals of criminal punishment, and there are effects such as retribution for oneself, a general prevention effect that prevents others from following, and a special prevention effect that prevents the person from doing such a thing again.” If we can achieve these three goals, we can do anything, whether it be a pardon or anything else.”
“But right now, I think it is premature to talk about amnesty in a state where these people have no remorse, no reflection, and no apology to the people,” he said.
When asked about the middle class, he said, “If you’re in the middle, you tend to think that you’re somewhere in the middle, but people who make very reasonable decisions without being swept away by the camp are swing-botters,” he said. I will choose who will do it,” he said confidently.

Although the Moon Jae-in administration’s real estate policy was evaluated as “the biggest area of failure,” as for the 3 rental law, “there are several causes of distortion in the real estate market. If we go back to the past, there is a high possibility that there will be much greater chaos than now.”
Regarding inter-Korean relations, he said, “If unification is brought to the fore, there is a high possibility of a conflict between systems.”
Candidate Lee said, “Unification is currently stipulated as the duty of the state and the government in the Constitution, so it is true that unification is the ultimate task in the long term.” “I need to mobilize the means of repression and create a peaceful relationship through dialogue. I am in a position to make these things flexible.”
