Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon drew attention by rebutting Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, who said, "Constitutional amendment could become a black hole," stating that "constitutional amendment is not a 'black hole' but a 'gateway' to a new country."
On the 21st, Governor Kim posted on his social media, "Impeachment is impeachment, and constitutional amendment is constitutional amendment. The impeachment of Yoon Seok-yeol, the leader of denial, is already a decided conclusion, and the 'watering-down constitutional amendment' by the 'red tie men' is now impossible," he firmly stated.
He continued, "There must be a 'martial law nail constitutional amendment' to prevent any dreams of illegal martial law, an 'economic constitutional amendment' to transform an unequal economy into an economy of opportunity, and a 'power structure reform constitutional amendment' to complete political change."
In particular, he emphasized, "The complete end of the civil war will also be achieved through constitutional amendment," adding, "We must build a new country through constitutional amendment."
Furthermore, he proposed, "Leader Lee Jae-myung, now is exactly the time to talk about constitutional amendment," and "Three years ago, we held hands and promised the people. Let's make the '7th Republic constitutional amendment' happen this time without fail."
Earlier, on the 19th, Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party, appeared on MBC's 100-Minute Debate and expressed concern, saying, "Now is the time to focus on overcoming the civil war," and "Talking about constitutional amendment now could become a black hole."
Lee especially worried, "If we talk about constitutional amendment, the red tie men will be pleased," and "Issues of impeachment, restoration of constitutional order, and accountability for constitutional destruction might be pushed to the background."
