On the 12th, Choo held a party meeting at the National Assembly and said, "The half-baked National Assembly created by the half-chairman has started a runaway without brakes." He added, "Looking at the recently submitted bills by the Democratic Party, such as the special prosecutor law full of toxic clauses, the three broadcasting control laws that muzzle the media, and the National Assembly Act that attempts parliamentary dictatorship, it seems they are out of their minds," and pointed out, "It seems they are addicted to parliamentary dictatorship and autocracy."

Choo emphasized, "The Democratic Party has shown its true intentions by seizing the Legislation and Judiciary Committee and the Steering Committee just one day after the half-baked National Assembly was formed," and added, "Their arrogance to unilaterally pass malicious bills full of political strife, such as the three broadcasting control laws, the Livelihood Recovery Support Act, and the Special Act on Jeonse Fraud Amendments, has gone too far."

The People Power Party hinted that if the Democratic Party's unilateral actions continue, they will strongly demand the president to exercise the right to request reconsideration (veto power). Choo said, "The bills that the president has vetoed so far were passed unilaterally without bipartisan agreement and ultimately were malicious laws that had a significant impact on the lives of the people, so it was the minimum defense to protect livelihoods." He added, "Although the Democratic Party claims that the president has used the veto power more than in the past, this is the result of the ruling opposition's unilateral actions in the National Assembly."

Choo said, "(The Democratic Party) intends to nullify even the executive orders of the administration under its control," and added, "It is frustrating and infuriating to see the Democratic Party, obsessed only with shielding President Lee Jae-myung in Yeouido, unable to see the cliff right in front of them." He continued, "The end of parliamentary dictatorship and reckless race is derailment. I warn once again that all responsibility for that disaster lies with the Democratic Party," concluding his remarks.

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party plans to quickly process the Special Prosecutor Law for Corporal Chae, the three broadcasting laws (Broadcasting Act, Broadcasting Culture Promotion Act, Korea Educational Broadcasting System Act amendments), and others in the near future.
