On the same day, Chairman Woo said at the Emergency Response Committee meeting held at the National Assembly in the morning, "Is it possible to dismiss a police chief who is responsible for on-site security just because they held one meeting? Moreover, can a police chief candidate who has not yet been appointed do such a thing? Does he even have such authority? I cannot help but ask these questions."


Chairman Woo added, "Furthermore, even the Chief of the Presidential Secretariat has stepped in on this issue. The fact that Chief Kim Dae-gi got involved is interpreted as having received instructions from the President," and criticized, "Of all things, the first appearance of the Chief of the Presidential Secretariat is related to police control. It is truly absurd."



He continued, "The Democratic Party will stand firmly against the Yoon administration's conspiracy to control the police," emphasizing, "We will upgrade and expand the police control-related organization from a parliamentary task force (TF) level to a party-level organization, and respond to the Yoon administration's police control through multifaceted measures including legal actions and addressing various issues within the National Assembly."
