Opposition: "The ruling party fabricated a fake 'emergency situation,' but now it's a real emergency... President Yoon should step back from party affairs"

"The Biggest Victims of the Reversed Priorities in the People Power Party's Regime Change Are the Party Members and the People"

On the 26th, the office of the Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party in Yeouido, Seoul, appeared busy with reporters after the court partially granted the provisional injunction filed by former People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok against the People Power Party, ordering the suspension of the execution of duties of the party's Emergency Response Committee Chairman Joo Ho-young until the final judgment is confirmed.

[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] The Democratic Party of Korea commented on the court's decision deeming invalid the People Power Party's National Committee resolution to convert the Supreme Council into an Emergency Committee system, stating, "The People Power Party, which created a fake emergency situation, is now facing a real 'emergency situation.'"

On this day, Shin Hyun-young, spokesperson for the Democratic Party, said in a statement, "Like singing Seodongyo, they shouted 'Our party is in an emergency!' and formed an emergency committee, only to now face an unprecedented 'emergency situation' with the suspension of the Emergency Committee Chairperson's duties," expressing this view.

Spokesperson Shin cited the court's ruling that "the party organization and activities must be democratic as stipulated by the Constitution, and the Political Parties Act requires gathering the consensus of party members," and pointed out, "I hope they reflect on whether the root cause of this situation was an excessive loyalty competition to receive the cherry thumbs-up bestowed by President Yoon Seok-yeol. The disaster caused by the president's intervention in party affairs must never happen again."

She continued, "The greatest victims of the People Power Party's reversed priorities in its system transition are the party members and the people," adding, "The People Power Party, as the ruling party, should have taken care of people's livelihoods but instead focused solely on power struggles. They must reflect on this now and deeply apologize." She further urged, "The People Power Party must remember that further confusion goes against public sentiment," and requested, "We hope the shameful power struggles stop now and that they regain the image of a responsible government and ruling party."
