Yoon Jae-ok: "Opposition Provokes President and Exaggerates Political Oppression... Shameful Politics"
Yoon Jae-ok, floor leader of the People Power Party, said on the 23rd regarding the controversy over Jinbo Party lawmaker Kang Seong-hee's 'forced removal,' "There are absurd acts of deliberately provoking the president and exaggerating measures taken by the security system as political oppression."
At the floor strategy meeting held at the National Assembly that morning, Yoon said, "I hope the Democratic Party will stop politics that are embarrassing to students."
He cited a survey conducted on about 13,000 elementary, middle, and high school students, saying, "In terms of trust by occupation, not only politicians and journalists but also public officials are not trusted and are ranked at the bottom, even lower than YouTubers," and emphasized, "Both ruling and opposition parties should feel responsible for the future generation's trust in politics hitting rock bottom like this."

Yoon criticized, "Regarding the attack on Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung, when the theory of police cover-up did not gain attention, they brought up the theory of downplaying the State Affairs Coordination Office, and now they are claiming responsibility of the National Intelligence Service and the National Security Office," adding, "There is strong public criticism that this is turning into a melodrama by spreading baseless conspiracy theories and fake news to increase animosity toward the opposing party, as well as distorting and exaggerating the situation."
