[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Yoon Ho-jung, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, condemned President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol's successive local visits on the 2nd.


At the Democratic Party Emergency Response Meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Chairman Yoon said, "President-elect Yoon should maintain dignity," and criticized, "There is only one week left before the start of his term, but he is wasting time taking photos and eating with local election candidates ahead of the government launch."


He warned, "We must not repeat the mistake of a former president who, after wandering in search of sincere people, ultimately failed both the election and state affairs."


Chairman Yoon said, "(Regarding President-elect Yoon's successive local visits) I will not ask if this is election campaigning," but pointed out, "It has been a while since the election ended, so whether it is an uppercut ceremony or something else, throwing uppercuts toward the people and still going around punching is inappropriate." He continued, "Will that bring about harmony?" and added, "If low approval ratings are the problem, I hope he thoroughly keeps the promises made to the people, such as quietly withdrawing pledges, the 10 million won support promise for small business owners and self-employed, the 2 million won guarantee promise for military personnel, and the promise to ease redevelopment and reconstruction regulations."



Meanwhile, Chairman Yoon criticized the People Power Party's response during the passage of the Prosecutors' Office Act amendment as a 'gangster National Assembly.' He said, "I strongly protest the People Power Party's violent legislative obstruction," and criticized, "They unilaterally broke the bipartisan agreement and shamelessly obstructed proceedings with violence and abusive language, which is a criminal act." He added, "It is truly embarrassing for the people to see a gangster National Assembly that ignores dignity and promises for the sake of vested interests." Regarding the parliamentary procedure remarks, gestures, and subsequent explanations by People Power Party lawmaker Bae Hyun-jin during the plenary session, which seemed to mock the Speaker, he criticized, "The level of mockery, such as arrogantly pointing fingers without the minimum courtesy to the Speaker, is truly disgraceful to witness." He further stated, "The People Power Party must first abide by the laws they created. The Democratic Party will take firm legal action against violations of the National Assembly Advancement Act."
