The changes in South Korea have always attracted the attention of the international community. Recently, Yoon Suk-yeol**'s closeness on diplomatic issues such as Japan and the United States has aroused strong dissatisfaction among the South Korean people, causing his approval rating to continue to decline, and at the same time causing political turmoil.
Against this backdrop, Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, the largest opposition party in South Korea, began an indefinite hunger strike and sit-in on August 31 in order to express his dissatisfaction with Yoon Suk-yeol. He demanded that Yoon Suk-yeol make his position clear on Japan's discharge of nuclear sewage and apologize to the people. He also criticized Yoon Suk-yeol**'s "ridicule and oppression" of members of Congress, and demanded the resignation of the entire Yoon Suk-yeol cabinet and a change in South Korea's policy direction.
Lee Jae-myung's hunger strike**, which lasted for 15 days, caused tremendous pressure on Yoon Suk-yeol**. The ruling People's Power Party, to which Yoon Suk-yeol belongs, finally called on Lee Jae-myung to stop his hunger strike on the 14th through party leader Kim Ki-hyun. Kim Ki-hyun said that regardless of Lee's motives, he hoped that he would stop harming his health and stop his hunger strike. However, Lee Jae-myung did not respond to Kim Ki-hyun's call and did not seem to intend to give up his ** easily.
So, why did the People's Power Party appeal to Lee Jae-myung at this time? There are three reasons behind this.
1, Lee Jae-myung's hunger strike has already caused serious damage to his body, and if there is any accident, it will be difficult for Yoon Suk-yeol ** to get rid of his responsibility and will also face a greater ** attack. In the case that Yoon Suk-yeol has lost the hearts of the people, such a blow is difficult to bear.
2, the Democratic Party led by Lee Jae-myung is the party with the most seats in the South Korean National Assembly, if Lee Jae-myung's ** continues, then many of Yoon Suk-yeol's bills and policies will be difficult to pass the parliament's deliberation, which will seriously affect the efficiency and effectiveness of Yoon Suk-yeol**'s governance.
3, Lee Jae-myung's hunger strike** is actually a game of interests between parties. At present, South Korea presents a pattern of "the opposition party is greater than the ruling party", which makes Yoon Suk-yeol ** in a passive and restricted state. In order to change this situation, Yoon Suk-yeol** and South Korean prosecutors have suppressed and investigated Lee Jae-myung many times.
In this case, if something goes wrong with Lee Jae-myung's hunger strike**, the South Korean public is likely to think that it is a consequence of the pressure exerted by Yoon Suk-yeol** and South Korean prosecutors on Lee Jae-myung. At that time, the situation of Yoon Suk-yeol** and the People's Power Party will be even more difficult, and it will be even more difficult to reverse the situation in which the opposition party is greater than the ruling party.
However, Lee Jae-myung did not respond to the call of the People's Power Party, which shows that he is not satisfied with the verbal promises of the People's Power Party, but wants to see Yoon Suk-yeol ** in action.
