[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, targeted Lee Hae-chan, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, on the 27th, saying, “The ruling party leader’s remark that Seoul is vulgar and Busan is shabby is nothing short of vulgar,” and criticized, “Careless remarks and outrageous comments are not new.”

At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Ahn said, “If an opposition figure had said even one such word, how would you have reacted? You would have mobilized every possible means to bury them,” and added, “Immediately apologize to the public for your reckless behavior that forgets your position and responsibility, and promise to prevent recurrence.”

Ahn said, “Looking at the recent remarks of the president and the ruling party leader, I question whether they feel even a little of the gravity and responsibility that their positions carry,” and pointed out, “Every time the president boasts about COVID-19 quarantine on SNS, the number of confirmed cases surged. Even if K-quarantine is successful, it is thanks to the dedication of frontline quarantine officials and medical staff, not the president’s credit.”

Ahn sharpened his criticism, saying, “It is impossible to overlook the behavior of the Moon Jae-in administration. They are shameless despite being incompetent, and the results are a mess but they have no intention to fix it,” and “Cabinet members attend the National Assembly and shamelessly lie and try to fight with opposition lawmakers. Do such people have any qualifications to run the government? They lack ability and their attitude is utterly poor.” He added, “This is why holes are being made in government affairs everywhere. Yesterday’s report on a defector’s re-entry to North Korea was shocking,” and “With holes in the nation’s basics of border control and security, even North Korea is mocking and ridiculing us.”

Ahn said, “The economic incompetence of this administration combined with public distrust is causing the ‘real estate ruin theory,’” and “When the minister in charge says the policy is working well, apartment prices soar even more, and when the ruling party floor leader talks about the administrative capital, apartment prices in Sejong City, which were stable, are skyrocketing. Can you please just shut those mouths now?”

Ahn said, “Reveal the truth of the collusion between the press and prosecution, not collusion between the prosecution and the media, and don’t turn innocent people into criminals; catch the real national disgrace and fake news spreaders,” and “If the truth of political manipulation is concealed to the end and innocent people are targeted, this case will become the biggest national scandal and national disgrace of the Moon Jae-in administration, and will inevitably face stern judgment from history and the people. Identify related persons within the ruling coalition and send them to the prosecution yourselves.”
