Ahead of the Democratic Party’s national convention, chair candidates are escalating pressure on the opposition People Power Party (PPP). Rep. Jung Chung-rae suggested the PPP should be disbanded if former President Yoon Suk Yeol is convicted of insurrection, while Rep. Park Chan-dae called for the expulsion of 45 PPP lawmakers who protested Yoon’s arrest earlier this year. Both remarks reflect an unusually hardline stance.
