[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Boryeong] The People Power Party criticized the ruling party and government over concerns about the supply of COVID-19 vaccines.

On the 18th, Bae Jun-young, spokesperson for the People Power Party, stated in a commentary, "The 'boy who cried wolf government' should stop 'political quarantine'."

Spokesperson Bae pointed out, "There has been no end to the government's lies related to vaccines since the COVID-19 outbreak," adding, "President Moon Jae-in reassured the public through a video call with Moderna's CEO at the end of last year. Some even suspected it was a show. This is because the current COVID-19 vaccination rate in our country is below 3%, the lowest among OECD countries."

He continued, "The government, which did not increase the vaccine budget by even one won in the original budget proposal this year, shocking the opposition," and criticized, "The government’s touted low dead space vaccine syringes have become controversial due to foreign substances found, leading to the recall of 700,000 units. This only amplifies public anxiety."

On the same day, Park Dae-chul, a member of the People Power Party, said on Facebook, "They still talk about 'herd immunity by November.' It's frustrating to become vaccine beggars and then be subjected to secondary false hope," adding, "It's just a 'say anything and forget it' approach. The public is tired of this 'anticlimactic show.'"

Park asserted, "It is time for the president to personally engage in 'vaccine diplomacy,'" and urged, "Immediately activate the Korea-US presidential hotline and request leftover vaccines to be shared."

Kim Woong, a member of the People Power Party, shared on Facebook a banner that Go Min-jung of the Democratic Party of Korea had displayed in the past in Gwangjin-eul, Seoul, which read, "Secured 44 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines!" Kim questioned, "Where are these doses?" and criticized, "Is the Democratic Party just being the Democratic Party again?"
