Yoo Sang-beom "Full of Vivid Government Criticism"
Jeon Ju-hye "Democratic Party's 'Double Standards' Confirmed Again"

On the 18th, the People Power Party criticized Park Kwang-on, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, for demanding the 'dismissal of the Prime Minister and the total resignation of the Cabinet' in his negotiation group representative speech, calling it an irresponsible attitude of the opposition party that would cause a government vacuum.


Yoo Sang-beom, the senior spokesperson of the People Power Party, said in a statement on the same day, "The Democratic Party dreams of a country that ruins everyone, not a country for everyone. It is on the verge of collapse," and pointed out, "How can the words of the floor leader of the main opposition party, facing the last regular session of the 21st National Assembly, be filled with harsh government criticism that seems more suitable for posting on his social network service (SNS)?"

Senior Spokesperson Yoo continued, "It was not a negotiation group speech but a declaration of struggle against the government, essentially a proposal explanation for a resolution to dismiss the Prime Minister," adding, "After promising the public to give up immunity from arrest, it is embarrassing to see them criticize the prosecution for following legal procedures and confess that the passage is not their party's official stance by saying 'approval is a path to division.'"


He also said, "As the truth of the presidential election manipulation has been revealed and even statistical manipulation has been exposed to the whole world to cover up their incompetence, it is outrageous that they raise their voices, calling it the worst democracy," and criticized, "How long must the public endure the Democratic Party's petty 'brain fiction'?"


Jeon Ju-hye, the floor spokesperson, also criticized the recent negotiation group representative speech as "an occasion to reaffirm the Democratic Party's DNA of 'double standards'."


Floor Spokesperson Jeon said, "I want to ask Floor Leader Park Kwang-on about the content of today's speech," and criticized, "Is the request for consent to arrest during the parliamentary session a political act? Is it that the prosecution waits for the non-session period to submit the request?"


On March 23, in front of the Constitutional Court in Seoul, Jeon Ju-hye, a member of the People Power Party, expressed her position regarding the "Complete Removal of Prosecution's Investigation Rights" law, which passed the National Assembly plenary session last year.

She added, "The Democratic Party deciding even the timing of the warrant request is a distorted sense of privilege," and said, "It is very regrettable that the demand for the dismissal of the Prime Minister and the total resignation of the Cabinet was made on the day President Yoon Seok-yeol left the country to attend the UN General Assembly for national interest diplomacy."


Floor Spokesperson Jeon emphasized, "For whom and for what are they making such useless claims?" and said, "They say to seek wisdom from former President Moon Jae-in, but this sounds like an instruction to learn statistical manipulation techniques."



Regarding Floor Leader Park's remark in the negotiation group representative speech that "South Korea is facing a total crisis of democracy and the rule of law," Floor Spokesperson Jeon pointed out, "Three days before the presidential election, they tried to steal the public's votes with fake news from Kim Man-bae. It is a crime that destroys the constitutional order by trampling on democracy and the rule of law," and added, "They should stop blaming others excessively."
