"Yoon Stingy with Apologies... Only Blames Others"

Former People Power Party lawmaker Yoo Seung-min criticized President Yoon Suk-yeol, saying, "If there is any sense of shame, it does not seem right to bring up cartels again in this disaster that has claimed so many lives."

On the 18th, Yoo mentioned President Yoon's statement about abolishing all subsidies to interest cartels and corruption cartels and reallocating those funds to flood recovery efforts through his Facebook post.

He said, "The fundamental responsibility of those in power when dealing with flood disasters such as the Osong underpass and the Yecheon landslide is an infinite responsibility for the safety and lives of the people," and questioned, "If only frontline public officials are held accountable, then why do high-ranking officials such as the president exist?"

He continued, "Even considering the human casualties caused by this flood, if the promise made by the president during last year's flood?that 'we will thoroughly prepare so that there will be no more human casualties'?had been kept, the loss of life could have been reduced," adding, "Hasn't it become clear that this government is NATO (No Action Talk Only), all talk and no action?"

Former lawmaker Yoo also raised his voice, saying, "Just saying 'As president, my heart is heavy?' shows neither empathy nor consideration, nor the infinite responsibility that comes with the position of president," and "I no longer want to see a president who is so stingy with apologies and only blames others."
