Korea’s Opposition Party Elects Youngest Ever Member to Lead It
This is actually a really brilliant move by the conservative opposition party in Korea because it demonstrates that the old guard many Koreans are fed up with is transitioning power to the younger generation:
The election of a young new leader is giving a boost to the main opposition People Power Party (PPP), with it seeing the highest gains in support in years and positive signs of a potential “conservative big tent” to counter the liberal ruling bloc ahead of next March’s presidential election.

Public attention to the rise of the 36-year-old Lee Jun-seok and his victory at the party convention is pushing the party’s support rate. According to a survey of 2,512 adults conducted last week by local pollster Realmeter, and released Monday, 39.1 percent of respondents said they supported the PPP, while 29.2 percent said were behind the ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK)
Political watchers believe the PPP has succeeded in responding to the growing public calls for change and innovation in politics by electing the youngest-ever party chairman, and it is now being recognized by the public as an alternative political force that could hold the supermajority DPK in check. Even before Lee’s rise, the DPK was already losing public support due to corruption and land speculation scandals involving high-profile government officials and party members.

What does Spain want from South Korea, to give this kind of reception to “commie Moon”?

Lee’s rise taps into the growing support of the PPP and discontent from males in their 20s and 30s who feel they have been sold short by Moon and the DPK as a result of their never ending efforts to win support from their female support base.
Lee can’t run for President since the minimum age by law for a presidential candidate is 40. However if he can keep his political capital intact by 2027, yes he has the potential to be a strong and viable presidential candidate.
TOK, Moon served honorably in the military. Now how about Lee?
Spain is run by socialist…thus they like commie moon.. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/07/pedro-sanchez-spain-pm-government-vote-parliament
Moon was a nK spy in the south korean military……maybe.
Lee Harvey Oswald had an honorable discharge from the marines which is more than John Wayne can brag about.
True. Although John Wayne’s passing was mourned and Oswald’s not so much…
“TOK, Moon served honorably in the military. Now how about Lee?”
I thought he meant Lee Harvey Oswald.
He must have meant Lee Choon-jae who drove a tank during his honorable military service.
