Democrats: "Kim Gi-hyeon, Only Chasing Yoon and Getting Discarded... Preliminary Work for Yongsan Direct Control System"

"Isn't Yoon Responsible for All Situations Faced by the People Power Party?"
"A Bae Committee Chair Prepared for Yongsan Will Appear"

The Democratic Party of Korea claimed that "Isn't President Yoon Seok-yeol responsible for all the situations the People Power Party is currently facing?" following the resignation of People Power Party leader Kim Ki-hyun on the 13th.

Senior spokesperson Kwon Chil-seung said in a briefing that day, "Leader Kim, who was elected as a figurehead leader, was merely faithfully following the orders from Yongsan."

Spokesperson Kwon added, "Behind lawmaker Jang Je-won's decision not to run and Leader Kim's resignation lies the shadow of President Yoon," and argued, "Kim's resignation appears to be a preliminary move toward establishing a direct Yongsan control system."

He continued, "It is somewhat regrettable to see Leader Kim, who only followed President Yoon's orders that appointed him as party leader, ultimately being discarded," but also pointed out, "It was Leader Kim and those called Yoon-hakkwan (key associates of President Yoon Seok-yeol) who turned the People Power Party into not just Yongsan's second squad but its fifth squad."

He also criticized, "Isn't the reality the People Power Party faces that it cannot even decide on a new emergency committee chairman to replace Leader Kim by itself?" and added, "This is the result the People Power Party brought upon itself by no one daring to speak honestly toward Yongsan."

Spokesperson Kwon further stated, "Now, the emergency committee chairman prepared by Yongsan will appear," and claimed, "The time for Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon to start commuting to Yeouido in earnest is also approaching." He said, "The result will be a hollowed-out People Power Party and a 'Prosecutors' Party' led by prosecutors close to Yoon, which is obvious to see," and concluded, "In that sense, today's resignation of Leader Kim is nothing less than the end of the People Power Party."
