Opposition: "Yoon's Tyranny Reaches Extreme... Must Withdraw Nominations of Yuinchon, Shin Wonsik, and Kim Haeng"

Opposition Women's Committee Says Kim Haeng "Unqualified as Candidate"

The Democratic Party of Korea continued to fiercely criticize President Yoon Seok-yeol's second cabinet reshuffle and called for the withdrawal of the nominations of Shin Won-sik, Minister of National Defense candidate; Yoo In-chon, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism candidate; and Kim Haeng, Minister of Gender Equality and Family candidate.

Spokesperson Park Seong-jun said at a briefing on the 17th, "The tyranny of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration has reached its peak. This cabinet reshuffle is a brazen declaration of war against the people by the Yoon Seok-yeol regime," adding, "Abandon the attitude of fighting against the people and withdraw the nominations of Yoo In-chon, Shin Won-sik, and Kim Haeng."

Spokesperson Park also emphasized, "The Yoon Seok-yeol administration must immediately stop its tyranny and dismiss Prime Minister Han Deok-su," and "A full-scale cabinet reshuffle is necessary to reform state affairs."

The Democratic Party's National Women's Committee also issued a statement on the same day under the name of Chairperson Lee Jae-jeong, criticizing Kim Haeng's remark about the plan to abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, saying she would "dramatically exit (exit)."

They pointed out, "Kim Haeng's low expertise and reckless attitude both make her unqualified as a minister," and "Using bizarre expressions and wordplay reveals how lightly she regards the existence or abolition of government ministries."

The Democratic Party demanded that the Korea Communications Commission immediately halt the dismissal procedure against Kim Ki-jung, a director of the Broadcasting Culture Promotion Foundation (Bangmunjin), the major shareholder of MBC, who was recommended by the opposition.

Floor Spokesperson Kim Han-gyu said in a written briefing, "Even though the attempt to oust Bangmunjin Chairman Kwon Tae-seon was caught, they are trying to seize control of Bangmunjin in the same way," expressing this demand.
