Park Chandae "Continued One-Way Traffic Is a Shortcut to Regime Collapse"

Park "Yoon, Do Not Reject Special Investigation Law for Fallen Marine Corps Members"
Criticism of Appointment of Kim Jong-cheol as Military Manpower Administration Chief and Lee Chang-soo as Seoul Prosecutor General

Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated, "The 10th veto exercise is a nuclear bomb that will drive the political situation to its worst." The Democratic Party is launching a daily offensive urging President Yoon Seok-yeol not to exercise the veto on the 'Special Investigation Act for Fallen Marine Corps Members.'

On the morning of the 14th, at a floor strategy meeting held at the National Assembly, Floor Leader Park fiercely criticized, "President Yoon has made it a fait accompli to exercise the veto on the (fallen) Marine Corps Special Investigation Act and is only coordinating the timing of the Cabinet meeting." He added, "How long does he intend to confront the people with arrogance and lack of communication?" He continued, "Stop fiddling with and put down the (fallen) Marine Corps Special Investigation Act," and said, "There are no citizens who will continue to endure reckless vetoes."

He criticized President Yoon's governance, citing the appointment of the new Military Manpower Administration chief. "Even after suffering a crushing defeat in the general election, President Yoon has not changed at all," he said, "Whether in personnel or governance, President Yoon's actions remain blatant." He emphasized, "Kim Jong-cheol, the newly appointed head of the Military Manpower Administration and former deputy director of the Presidential Security Service, was the person involved in the nationally controversial 'gagging' security incident." Furthermore, he claimed, "Lee Chang-soo, appointed as the head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, is a representative pro-Yoon figure who stood at the forefront of the prosecution regime's suppression of the opposition party," and added, "This signals a stronger grip on the prosecution and an effort to shield First Lady Kim Geon-hee."

Floor Leader Park said, "I hope President Yoon quickly realizes that the foolish choice of turning the entire nation into enemies is a shortcut to the regime's downfall," and warned, "Do not make the mistake of wasting the last chance." He also pointed out, "All the situations mentioned are evidence that President Yoon has not changed at all," and criticized, "Ignoring the public sentiment from the general election and doing whatever he wants is no different from a 'my way declaration.'"
