Jang Je-won: "National Assembly Audit, Power of Overwhelming Numbers Reduced... Not a Single Witness"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Jang Je-won, a member of the People Power Party, expressed his reflections on the National Assembly audit, saying, "It was a day-to-day experience that made me deeply feel the power of overwhelming numbers."

On the 26th, Jang stated on Facebook, "It may sound like an excuse, but the wall of reality felt very high."

He said, "When conducting the National Assembly audit or hearings, the Jang Je-won office used to receive quite a few tips, but at some point, even the tips stopped coming," adding, "There was not a single witness."

He continued, "The gavel was also held by the Democratic Party," and said, "There were many issues in the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, but aside from clipping news articles, there was no other way."

Jang revealed, "As the audit proceeded, the media inevitably started calling it a bland audit," and added, "The public tells us to show our capability, and the media says there was no big impact. Since the opposition party is not acting like an opposition, ministers ignore opposition lawmakers."

He said, "I want to speak to the Moon Jae-in administration and the Democratic Party," and urged cooperation, saying, "Power grows when shared. A sword is most fearsome when sheathed. The moment it is drawn, it faces life-risking resistance and bloodshed. Whether reform or change, it must be done together to take root."
