Park Ji-won: "Don't Waste Effort on In Yo-han... Lee Jun-seok and Yoo Seung-min Won't Return"

Inyohan, the Innovation Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, is working to embrace former leader Lee Jun-seok and former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, while former National Intelligence Service Director Park Ji-won predicted that Lee and Yoo will eventually leave the party.

On the 30th, former NIS Director Park said on BBS's 'Jeon Young-shin's Morning Journal,' "Chairman In, don't waste your efforts. Former leader Lee or former lawmaker Yoo are not people who will return," adding, "They have already crossed the Rubicon."

Park's observation is that they will eventually establish a new party next year. He said, "Lee Jun-seok and Yoo Seung-min will not leave voluntarily, but President Yoon Seok-yeol will make them form a new party," adding, "Because there are talks about nominating 30 people to create a prosecutorial republic, where else would those 30 or so former prosecutors be nominated?"

He said that lawmakers who were ousted due to the nomination turmoil and the non-Yoon faction will join forces to form a centrist-conservative new party. He stated, "Until the end of this year, Lee Jun-seok, Yoo Seung-min, and others will continue to be oppressed and driven out, and early next year, those lawmakers who suffered nomination massacres and the centrist-conservative new party will be established."

Regarding Chairman In's call for 'Yeongnam star lawmakers' to run in the Seoul metropolitan area, he said, "There are no Yeongnam star lawmakers," adding, "Who besides star lawmaker Ha Tae-kyung said they would go to Seoul and the metropolitan area to have a showdown?"

He positively evaluated Chairman In's statement that "the president and the opposition leader should meet." Former NIS Director Park said, "That was very well done," adding, "Chairman In is someone who never holds back and speaks the truth."
