Minju: "Yoon's First 100 Days, 3 No's and 3 Not's Fail"

Woo Sang-ho "Must Take the Public's Underestimation Seriously"
On the 17th, Submission of National Assembly Request for State Audit Including Allegations of Preferential Treatment in Official Residence Construction Contract

[Asia Economy Reporters Oh Ju-yeon and Park Jun-i] The Democratic Party harshly criticized the Yoon Suk-yeol administration, marking its 100th day in office, as a "3-No (No measures, No competence, No responsibility), 3-Not (Unfairness, Non-communication, Anxiety) government." On the same day, the Democratic Party submitted a request for a national audit to the National Assembly regarding the presidential office relocation and allegations of preferential treatment in the presidential residence construction contract, signaling the start of a fierce ruling-opposition confrontation.

Cho Oh-seop, spokesperson for the Democratic Party, said in a written briefing that "The Yoon Suk-yeol government over the past 100 days is an incompetent, irresponsible, and unprepared ‘3-No government,’ as well as a ‘3-Not government’ that abandons fairness, ignores the voices of the people, and intensifies anxiety through unilateral actions." He criticized, "The Yoon administration, obsessed only with seizing power and advocating baseless scientific quarantine measures amid the COVID-19 resurgence, deserves a failing grade." Woo Sang-ho, chairman of the Democratic Party’s Emergency Response Committee, also sharply remarked at the emergency meeting held at the National Assembly that "We must take seriously the fact that the public’s evaluation of the 100 days is very low."

Going forward, the Democratic Party is expected to increase pressure on issues including the relocation of the Yongsan presidential office and allegations of preferential treatment involving companies related to First Lady Kim Keon-hee winning parts of the presidential residence construction contract.

On the same day, Jin Sung-jun, chief floor leader, and Oh Young-hwan, floor spokesperson, planned to submit a "Request for a National Audit on Allegations Related to President Yoon Suk-yeol’s Office and Residence and Private Hiring" to the National Assembly’s legislative affairs office at 11:30 a.m. The request includes investigating the rushed relocation of the presidential office, allegations of preferential treatment in the selection process of the construction company with ties to First Lady Kim, and the circumstances under which President Yoon’s relatives and acquaintances’ sons, employees of Kim’s Kobana Contents, and her graduate school classmates were hired at the presidential office.

Park Hong-geun, floor leader of the Democratic Party, stated at the morning emergency committee meeting, "It is the National Assembly’s rightful duty, regardless of party, to properly uncover and rectify the major suspicions held by the public," explaining the purpose of submitting the national audit request. He added, "The task of guiding the Yoon administration to quickly break away from the path of unfairness and irrationality and to sail smoothly begins with the National Assembly diagnosing and inspecting the issues accurately on behalf of the people and correcting the mistakes."
