[다시보기] 장동혁 "대표 거취 당원이 결정" 사퇴론 일축…'재선거' 주장도 계속-6월 24일 (수) 풀영상 [이슈현장] / JTBC News

Immediately after being discharged from the hospital, People Power Party Leader Jang Dong-hyuk held a press conference and dismissed demands for his resignation from lawmakers, stating, "The party leader's future is a matter for the party members to decide." He also expressed his intention to focus on issues such as "re-elections." Leader Jang was hospitalized on the 18th due to deteriorating health from the aftereffects of a hunger strike and participation in a protest at Olympic Park, and was discharged this morning (the 24th), a week later. Holding a press conference in the afternoon, Leader Jang drew a line regarding the issue of responsibility for the June 3 local elections. He stated that "the party leader's future is a matter for the party members to decide," adding that "it is not a matter that the party leader can decide at will, and certainly not a matter for a few lawmakers to decide." He also did not back down from his demand for a "re-election" related to the ballot shortage, saying, "The voting is over, but the local elections are not yet over." He declared, "Together with the sincere citizens of Olympic Park, we will push through a special prosecutor investigation to restore suffrage and a re-election." Representative Jang has faced criticism for consistently participating in protests at Olympic Park and advocating for "re-elections" to avoid responsibility for his actions. Representative Jang also clarified his stance on fighting against the ruling party. He assessed the current situation positively, stating, "Public support for our party is rising," and added, "Now is the very time for our party to fight properly (against the government and the ruling party)." Representative Jang's remarks today stand in direct conflict with the views of Floor Leader Jeong Jeom-sik, one of the party's "two top leaders." In recent interviews with various media outlets, Floor Leader Jeong has expressed his intention to gather the consensus of the "lawmakers" regarding Representative Jang's future, stating that the matter must be resolved as soon as possible. He has also expressed a negative view on "full-scale re-elections," including the Seoul mayoral election. #JangDongHyuk #PeoplePowerParty #Representative #PressConference #Discharge #PartyDuties #Return #JTBCNewsroom #JTBC #JTBCLiveBroadcast #JTBCLive #Newsroom #News #NewsLive 📢 Right now, the scene of the issue in real time! ☞ Watch JTBC Mobile Live https://www.youtube.com/@jtbc_news/st... ☞ Subscribe to JTBC YouTube (   / jtbc10news  ) ☞ JTBC YouTube Community (   / jtbc10news  ) #JTBC News Official Page https://news.jtbc.co.kr Facebook   / jtbcnews   X (Twitter)   / jtbc_news   Instagram   / jtbcnews   ☏ Send a Tip https://news.jtbc.co.kr/report Broadcaster: JTBC (https://jtbc.co.kr)
