Kim Ki-hyun "Democratic Party's False Propaganda on Fukushima Seafood... Reminds of Mad Cow Disease Rumors"

Calculating Only Election Advantages Without Interest in
Sustainable Development

Kim Ki-hyun, leader of the People Power Party, criticized the Democratic Party of Korea on the 3rd for focusing on political strife rather than resolving livelihood issues. Recently, Leader Kim has continued his livelihood-related activities by visiting the Integrated Support Center for Low-Income Finance and dining at Kyung Hee University.

At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Leader Kim said, "The Democratic Party surely knows the difficult reality of having to simultaneously secure fiscal soundness and growth engines," but added, "In this situation, the Democratic Party directly referred the Grain Management Act to the plenary session and pushed it through by leveraging their number of seats."

He continued, "The opposition party is recklessly pushing through laws such as the Yellow Envelope Act, the Safe Freight System, and the Broadcasting Act solely for election vote-buying, without any consideration for sustainable development or the livelihood of the people," and claimed, "Not stopping there, they have also submitted bills to restrict the president’s appointment of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, limit the president’s pardon authority, restrict the nomination rights for the National Human Rights Commission, and limit the government’s diplomatic negotiation powers." He then pointed out, "This is an attempt by the Democratic Party to interfere with the president’s inherent personnel, administrative, and diplomatic powers, to the extent that they seem to be under the illusion that they are the president."

Leader Kim warned, "Those with common sense know well that the malicious scheme that the Yoon Seok-yeol government must fail for the Democratic Party to gain reflexive benefits exists," and added, "If the Democratic Party continues to show no interest in the livelihood of the people and only calculates electoral advantages and disadvantages while obstructing the country’s sustainable development, they will be judged at the opposition in next year’s general election."

He also criticized the Democratic Party for spreading false propaganda regarding the import of seafood from Fukushima, Japan. Leader Kim said, "After holding a condemnation rally and suddenly staging a head-shaving ceremony, there are even reports of Democratic Party lawmakers visiting Fukushima," and remarked, "Seeing their full effort to spread false propaganda reminds me of the mad cow disease rumors."

Regarding the achievements of the Korea-Japan summit, which has been continuously criticized by the Democratic Party, he emphasized, "Last Thursday, a grand Korea-Japan new business trade meeting was held with about 100 economic figures from both countries attending," and stressed, "It is the natural responsibility of a political party to devote all efforts to maximizing economic effects from the perspective of national interest."
