[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Kim Tae-nyeon, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, expressed an apology to Joo Ho-young, the floor leader of the United Future Party, regarding the handling of the real estate law, but the United Future Party fiercely criticized it as "crocodile tears," demanding sincerity.

On the 9th, Bae Jun-young, spokesperson for the United Future Party, said in a statement, "Contrary to such remarks, the government and ruling party are continuing to push forward the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO), controlling the prosecution through collusive personnel appointments, and shaking the Board of Audit and Inspection," expressing this view.

He also pointed out that Lee Hae-chan, leader of the Democratic Party, declared, "We will forcibly launch the CIO even if we have to change the law at the August extraordinary session of the National Assembly," and criticized, "It is difficult to gain sympathy with such double play. It is crocodile tears."

While the ruling party unilaterally handled real estate-related laws and the CIO law at the July National Assembly session, Kim Tae-nyeon reportedly expressed an apology to Joo Ho-young, but the sincerity was not felt.

Spokesperson Bae cited the book "Doubting Majority Rule," saying, "The reason why an employed government betrays the sovereign people is that it usually implements policies unilaterally without democratic procedures," and criticized, "The July extraordinary session of the National Assembly was such a case."

He pointed out, "They ended everything by majority rule and made 'checks and balances and the spirit of consensus' a thing of the past," adding, "The only device to control the speed of a reckless driver holding the steering wheel called majority rule is the opposition party as a brake, but in the 21st National Assembly, the ruling party seems to have completely removed the brake function from the manual."

Spokesperson Bae advised, "There is no problem when going in the right direction. But when heading toward a cliff due to mistakes, brakes are necessary," and said, "I hope the Democratic Party will behave in a manner befitting the meaning of its name at the August extraordinary session of the National Assembly, which is just ten days away."
