Yun Ho-jung: "Lee Jun-seok, who boasted about tangerine flavor when meeting Song Young-gil, became a 'tangja' in 100 minutes... Betrayed the faith of 2030"

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] Yoon Ho-jung, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, sarcastically criticized Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the People Power Party, who effectively reversed the bipartisan agreement on providing disaster relief funds to all citizens, saying, "Leader Lee, who showed off the tangerine flavor when meeting Song Young-gil, the leader of the Democratic Party, lost the tangerine flavor and became a tangja within 100 minutes after joining the People Power Party."

On the morning of the 13th, at the party policy coordination meeting, Floor Leader Yoon said, "Is Leader Lee trying to become the '100-minute leader' or 'Tangja leader' who reverses his words in 100 minutes?" and criticized, "Can political agreements between party leaders be so trivial?"

He continued, "Leader Lee also betrayed the trust of the 2030 youth generation," explaining, "The reason our party is considering providing disaster relief funds to all citizens is that the 2030 youth and newlyweds, who are the main members of one- or two-person households, are largely excluded from the support target."

He pointed out, "Leader Lee must have heard such explanations well from Leader Song, but did he betray the 2030 youth generation as soon as he returned to the party? The 2030 youth are being told to fend for themselves even in disaster situations, which is Lee Jun-seok's meritocracy."

On the same day, Floor Leader Yoon announced that the party would make a final decision on the party's stance regarding the disaster relief fund payment and expedite the passage of the second supplementary budget.

Floor Leader Yoon emphasized, "We will flexibly adjust according to the changed quarantine measures and carefully oversee disaster safety management during the summer rainy season and heat waves to ensure nothing is lacking. For a productive July National Assembly, we must push forward both the supplementary budget and bills simultaneously," adding, "We will also promptly handle livelihood bills such as the Operating Room CCTV Act, Social Service Agency Act, and Media Reform Act to keep pace."

He added, "Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of the announcement of the Korean New Deal comprehensive plan. When New Deal-related bills are timely processed, the meaning and effect of executing the supplementary budget will be doubled," and urged, "I call for bipartisan cooperation not only on the supplementary budget but also on legislation so that the July National Assembly becomes a working parliament that opens the curtain on livelihood recovery."

Earlier, on the 12th, Leader Lee announced that he had reached a sudden agreement with Leader Song to provide disaster relief funds to all citizens, but reversed his position after internal backlash within the People Power Party.

Regarding this, Leader Lee explained that there was a problem in the process of conveying the agreement details. He said, "This issue involves consulting with policy officials from both parties, so I said it was a matter to be discussed within the party," and explained, "After the meeting, I returned and directly met with Floor Leader Kim Ki-hyun and the chairman of the Policy Committee to discuss together and finalized our party's position."
