Kim Tae-nyeon: "The 21st National Audit Should Not Become a Political Conflict"

"Innocent Choo, Why Drag It Out Until the End of the Audit?" Criticism Toward the Opposition
"Gwanghwamun Barricades Are the Last Resort for Quarantine" Blocking Hangeul Day Rally at the Source

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jin-young] Kim Tae-nyeon, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, expressed his determination to actively defend Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae and the case of the South Korean government official killed by the North, stating that he will ensure the 21st National Assembly's first audit does not become a political confrontation, one day before the audit.

On the morning of the 6th, at a National Assembly audit strategy meeting, Floor Leader Kim said, "The opposition party has been launching political offensives for months during government questioning, and not satisfied with that, they intend to drag even cases that ended with no charges into the audit."

He added, "This appears to be nothing but a political confrontation aimed at tarnishing the Moon Jae-in administration," and criticized, "The ruling party has already warned that the audit will be disrupted over witness selection. Haven't they done enough?"

He continued, "The Democratic Party will respond to the opposition's tricks with principles and common sense, and actively counter fake news with fact-checking," and stated, "We will take the lead to ensure that the audit progresses as a step forward for the working National Assembly for the people suffering from COVID-19."

Regarding the Korean Alphabet Day rally announced by far-right groups, he said, "It must be blocked at the source." Floor Leader Kim criticized, "Far-right groups threatening the lives and safety of the people with illegal urban rallies have no right to talk about freedom of assembly," and said, "The People Power Party must decide whether to protect the lives and safety of the people or become a spokesperson for far-right groups."

About the barricades in Gwanghwamun, he emphasized, "The government's blocking of large-scale rallies is a constitutionally legitimate measure to protect the lives, safety, and daily lives of the people," and added, "The Gwanghwamun barricades are the last means of quarantine to protect the lives and safety of the majority of the people from forces disrupting quarantine."
