[Global Network Report Trainee Reporter Jiang Ailing] According to South Korea’s "Central Daily News" reported on the 14th, Li Zaiming, leader of the Common Democratic Party, the largest opposition party in South Korea, entered the 15th day of hunger strike. On the morning of the same day, Jin Qixuan, the leader of the ruling National Power Party, first asked Li Zaiming to "stop the hunger strike".
According to the report, Jin Qixuan, the leader of the ruling National Power Party, said at the meeting of the Supreme Council of the Party held by the National Assembly that Li Zaiming’s health condition was deteriorating, and the medical team also suggested interrupting the hunger strike. It is not advisable for the representatives of the first opposition party with huge seats to continue their hunger strike during the important parliamentary period when they need to review the government’s state affairs and pay attention to the country’s life next year. Jin Qixuan shouted to Li Zaiming, "For whatever reason, I solemnly ask you to stop the hunger strike that harms your health."
The report also said that more and more voices in the Common Democratic Party persuaded Li Zaiming to stop the hunger strike. However, so far, Li Zaiming has not made a clear response to these demands. Earlier, Li Zaiming moved the hunger strike place from the tent in front of the National Assembly Hall to the office of the head of the Common Democratic Party to continue the demonstration. Park Sung Jun, a spokesman for the Democratic Party, said that this was Li Zaiming’s firm will to continue the hunger strike.
According to a report in South Korea’s I-NEWS 24 on the 13th, Lu Yingmin, secretary of Cheongwadae during the Moon Jae in administration, also visited the hunger strike site in Li Zaiming yesterday. According to the report, Lu Yingmin conveyed Moon Jae in’s advice. (Moon Jae in) said, "The health of the party leader is more important than anything. We should stop the hunger strike as soon as possible and restore health." Li Zaiming expressed his gratitude for this and said that he would make a decision after careful consideration.
Earlier, Yonhap News Agency reported on August 31st that Li Zaiming announced an indefinite hunger strike and sit-in to protest Yin Xiyue’s government’s "undermining democracy" and other acts. He asked the government to explicitly oppose Japan’s nuclear pollution of water discharged into the sea and apologize to the people for undermining people’s livelihood. South Korea’s "East Asia Daily" reported on the 10th that Li Zaiming continued his hunger strike indefinitely in the tent of the sit-in demonstration in front of the main building of the National Assembly that day. On the 11th day of the hunger strike, Li Zaiming chose to lie down and demonstrate because of his declining physical strength.
