[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Soyoung] Park Jinyoung, the full-time deputy spokesperson of the Democratic Party of Korea, sharply confronted Kim Gi-hyeon, the floor leader of the People Power Party.

On the 3rd, Deputy Spokesperson Park wrote on his Facebook, "(Floor Leader Kim) rejected the president's lunch invitation as meaningless and said he would veto the prime minister candidate for not being neutral," criticizing, "He is afraid of the armband."

He pointed out, "I have never heard someone say they disagree because the prime minister was a former party leader candidate," adding, "Do you not understand responsible politics or party politics at all?"

He sarcastically added, "Since you keep insisting on strange neutrality, it seems we need to import a prime minister from a small neutral country like Switzerland."

This is interpreted as a response to Floor Leader Kim's opposition remarks about Prime Minister candidate Kim Boo-kyum during a National Assembly press briefing on the 2nd. Floor Leader Kim strongly criticized, "It is very regrettable that the prime minister candidate is a former Democratic Party lawmaker and had run for party leader," saying this means "they intend to interfere and manipulate the presidential election just like the Ulsan mayoral election."
