[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] On the 29th, Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, criticized the Democratic Party, saying, "I have serious concerns about the Democratic Party's obstinacy" regarding the ruling and opposition agreement on the supplementary budget (추경) bill.

After greeting citizens in Gimpo City, Gyeonggi Province, Lee told reporters, "I will compare this issue to the story of Solomon," expressing his view.

He said, "No matter how unreasonable the other party's demands are, the true biological mother is the one who would agree to the demands with the sole determination to save the child," adding, "As the ruling party with unlimited responsibility for national governance, the President made a decision to create a framework for cooperation even on issues where the Democratic Party responded somewhat politically." He emphasized, "This became an opportunity for the public to clearly see who truly loved the child, just like in the story of Solomon."

Meanwhile, regarding the voluntary resignation of Yoon Jong-won, Director of the Office for Government Policy Coordination, Lee said, "The party naturally shares joint responsibility with the government, so it can express opinions," and added, "Floor Leader Kwon Seong-dong's way of expressing opinions on personnel matters was done in a partnership spirit in national governance rather than aiming for conflict, so no major problems are expected." He also expressed gratitude for Yoon's resignation.
