[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] The Democratic Party of Korea demanded that the People Power Party follow public opinion and participate in the state audit regarding the Itaewon tragedy. They emphasized that public opinion should take precedence over the president's intentions.

On the 13th, Lee Su-jin, the Democratic Party's floor spokesperson, criticized the People Power Party for opposing the state audit in a written briefing, stating, "Prioritizing public opinion over the president's intentions is parliamentary democracy."

Spokesperson Lee pointed out, "Despite the significant responsibility for the Itaewon tragedy, the People Power Party is opposing the state audit in response to the president's anger, saying 'Can't even protect one minister?'" He added, "Even movements within the ruling party to follow public sentiment are fading due to public attacks by Yoon core supporters and their advocates."

He remarked, "The majority of the public is demanding a state audit on the Itaewon tragedy," and criticized, "There is no parliamentary democracy in the ruling party that values the president's intentions over public opinion."

Spokesperson Lee said, "It is disheartening that representatives elected by the people are ignoring the people's voices," and added, "Upholding public opinion is parliamentary democracy." He concluded, "The Democratic Party will ensure that a state audit on the Itaewon tragedy is conducted through the People Power Party."
