Lee Jun-seok: "Democratic Party Acted as Occupying Force... Must Cooperate with Successor Government Launch"
"Presidential Transition is a Process of Power Transfer"
"Apologize for Describing Yongsan as a 'History of Shame'"
[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Hyun-ji] On the 17th, Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the People Power Party, posted on Facebook, "In a democratic country, the presidential transition is a process of power transfer," adding, "The previous administration has an obligation to cooperate with the incoming administration," targeting the Democratic Party of Korea.
Lee also pointed out, "The party that acted like an occupying force from the day after the election without a transition committee and launched a drive to root out deep-rooted evils was the Democratic Party." This was a counterattack against the claim made the same day by Yoon Ho-jung, the emergency committee chairman of the Democratic Party. On the same day, Yoon said on KBS Radio's 'Choi Kyung-young's Strong Current Affairs' that the reason for the failure of the meeting between President Moon Jae-in and President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol on the 16th was "due to the great rudeness of the president-elect's side during the prior discussion process," adding, "It failed because of the president-elect's side acting like an occupying force."

He also mentioned the relocation of the presidential office to the Yongsan Ministry of National Defense building. Lee said, "If you disparaged Yongsan as land with a 'shameful history,' apologize immediately to the residents of Yongsan," and criticized, "Are you going to continue to oppose everything the Yoon Seok-yeol government tries to do even after the election in such a low manner?" Yoon had previously pointed out, "(The Yongsan relocation) could cause significant problems for our national defense and security," and questioned, "Do you think it is possible to hastily remove security facilities such as the Joint Chiefs of Staff, guard units, and Cyber Command anywhere without a plan?"
