[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] On the 25th, the People Power Party urged the Moon Jae-in administration to "honestly confess the failure of the vaccine policy and launch an all-out 'vaccine procurement' effort."

Kim Yeryeong, spokesperson for the People Power Party, criticized in a statement on the same day, "Although criticism of the ruling party in power is inevitable, the government dismisses it as fake news and blames the opposition party for the vaccine shortage. It is a situation where they refuse to accept punishment and instead take up the whip themselves."

Regarding the ruling party's proposal to introduce Chinese and Russian vaccines, Spokesperson Kim pointed out, "In a situation where anxiety about vaccination itself is widespread, which citizen would willingly receive a Chinese vaccine?" and added, "I want to ask the president whether they really intend to form herd immunity or if they have confidence in herd immunity."

He continued, "The government should now reflect on its vaccine policy with a sober mid-term evaluation and present a concrete timeline to the public on exactly when the vaccine quantities secured by the government can be introduced domestically," emphasizing, "All diplomatic channels between the ruling and opposition parties should be activated to continue discussions on the Korea-US vaccine swap and seek ways to bring vaccines in as soon as possible."

He also strongly criticized, saying, "The public remembers that the government's policy failure has delayed the recovery of daily life and that this has directly struck the livelihood economy," and added, "The ruling party and government must seriously accept that not only health but also the people's means of survival have become bleak and must take responsibility accordingly."
