According to the South Korean Yonhap Agency, after the counting of 95% of the vote, a representative of the Liberal “Democratic Party” scored 48.83% of the vote, compared to 42.03%, which was scored by his opponent from the People’s Party of Power Kim Mun Su. Kim has already recognized his defeat.
It is worth noting that in the elections in 2022, Lee Zhage Mon gave way to Jun Joli – he remained president of the Republic of Korea until he was declared impeachment after a scandal with the introduction of martial law in the country.
Lee Zhe Mon – What is known about the new President of South KoreaLee Zhage Mon is not a new face in the political arena in South Korea. He was the Minister of Labor and Governor of the Province of Kiongi.
The 61-year-old politician has been nominated twice as president, but had no success. Lee is known for its populist rhetoric and promises of economic growth.
The path of Lee Zhe Mon was not transparent. In particular, he is a person involved in corruption investigation. He was also accused of abusing power.
During this election campaign, he focused on the importance of connection with the United States on the eve of trade talks with President Donald Trump.
The media also wrote that under the presidency of Lee Jae Myon, the Republic of Korea could dramatically change the policy on China and the DPRK.
The attempt on Lee shie mionIn January 2024, when communicating with journalists in Pusan (one of the largest cities in South Korea), the attempt was attempted on Lee. A man approached the official with a request for an autograph and hit him with a knife in his neck, says BBC. The injury was not critical, but Lee needed surgery. After that, he conducted a pre -election campaign behind a bulletproof glass and in a bulletproof vest.
The attacker said he wanted Lee never to become president. The man was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
That Lee Jae Mon said about the war in UkraineEven during the previous presidential race, Lee Zhage Myon threw himself into criticism due to a statement about the war in Ukraine. Although he condemned the attack on Ukraine, on February 25, the next day after the start of a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation, he stated that at the beginning of the war the Ukrainian leader was to blame:
“During the presidential debate, held on February 25, Lee Zhage Mon, a candidate from the ruling Democratic Party, said it incorrectly. He stated that Volodymyr Zelenskyy,” lacking knowledge in politics and diplomacy, provoked Russia. The President of Ukraine is responsible for the beginning of the war, ” – recalls The Diplomat.
These words quickly flew on social networks, and users mostly criticized Lee’s statement. Subsequently, the politician apologized for his words. However, many voters doubted whether this apology was sincere, whether it was more about trying not to lose vote votes.
In 2023, Lee Zhage Mon criticized the then President Jun Jol John for his words about the possibility of considering weapons to Ukraine. During the briefing, the politician stressed that this could harm the South Korean business in Russia and lead to increased military cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang.
