[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] On the 10th, Lee In-young, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, sharply criticized the recent remarks by the Liberty Korea Party mentioning the 'impeachment' of President Moon Jae-in as "irresponsible statements that make one doubt their ears."

At the Democratic Party's Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Floor Leader Lee said, "There is a time for fighting. Now is clearly not that time. In a national emergency where the lives of the people are at stake, calmness and unity must be political virtues."

He continued, "Mentioning the president's impeachment in this manner and attacking the government with extreme remarks to find justification for one's candidacy is irresponsible for a public party," adding, "The cessation of political strife is the stern command of the people."

Floor Leader Lee also urged the immediate declaration of the cessation of political strife and the activation of the National Assembly, reiterating the call for the convening of the February extraordinary session. Targeting Representative Hwang, he said, "The place where the leadership of the main opposition party should be is not at the forefront of political strife but at the forefront of livelihood and quarantine efforts in the National Assembly," and criticized, "The opposition leader is not in a situation leisurely enough to just visit election districts."

He further stated, "Quarantine is priority number one, livelihood economy is number two, and elections are number three," and questioned, "Is the Liberty Korea Party so obsessed with electioneering that it is only focused on uniting factions and frantically creating satellite parties and fake parties?"

Floor Leader Lee emphasized, "There is a mountain of tasks that the National Assembly must overcome, including quarantine measures, stabilizing public sentiment, and responding to economic downturn," and urged, "Let us open the February National Assembly without delay and launch an all-out response together with the people."
