Yang Hyang-ja: 'Jeon Han-gil and Ko Seong-guk create violent situations in the party and must be expelled'
A top member of the People Power Party calls for the expulsion of two individuals for allegedly promoting violence and isolating the party.
Yang Hyang-ja, a member of the Supreme Council of the People Power Party in South Korea, criticized fellow party members Jeon Han-gil and Ko Seong-guk for their remarks, claiming they create a violent environment and isolate the party. She expressed her belief during a radio interview that their messages are harmful, particularly in the context of the party's leadership and decision-making processes. She emphasized that the party should remove individuals who contribute to this negative atmosphere, suggesting drastic measures are necessary for the party's integrity.
Yang specifically referenced the recent decision by party leader Jang Dong-hyeok to skip a luncheon with President Lee Jae-myung, attributing this to the influence of Jeon and Ko. She denied that this decision reflected reality, insisting that party decisions should not be swayed by any individual opinions but rather made based on careful deliberation. Yang warned that the involvement of prominent influencers in the party could lead to significant repercussions, including a collapse of state systems, urging immediate action against those who wield such influence destructively.
When questioned about Jang's response to her call for the expulsion of these far-right influencers, Yang noted that he has been deeply contemplative. She speculated that Jang is avoiding mentioning these figures to prevent further chaos and negative ramifications within the party, indicating that discussing these topics could exacerbate tensions rather than resolve them. Yang's comments underscore the increasing concern about internal conflicts within the party and the potential for leadership instability at a crucial political time.
