野 "Choi Acting President Talks Integration While Aligning with Insurrection Forces"

In Samiljeol Speech Emphasizing "Unity",
"Appoint Ma Eun-hyuk First"

The Democratic Party of Korea criticized Choi Sang-mok, Acting Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Finance, on the 1st for emphasizing "unity" in his Samiljeol (Independence Movement Day) commemorative speech, saying, "Do not talk about national unity while siding with forces akin to insurgents."

Han Min-soo, the party spokesperson, said at a National Assembly briefing that day, "The foundation of the unity mentioned by Acting Prime Minister Choi in the Samiljeol speech should be the restoration of constitutional order."

Spokesperson Han added, "Acting Prime Minister Choi is making a pledge of loyalty to somehow block the appointment of Ma Eun-hyuk, a nominee for Constitutional Court Justice, thereby aiding the reinstatement of the insurgent leader Yoon Seok-yeol's duties," and questioned, "How can we discuss state affairs with an acting president who interprets even the decisions of the highest constitutional institution, the Constitutional Court, in favor of the insurgent faction?"

He continued, "When the Democratic Party conveyed its policy of not recognizing Acting Prime Minister Choi as a partner in the state affairs consultative body, he immediately expressed regret, but this is a case of audacity beyond measure," and urged, "If Acting Prime Minister Choi has even a little sincerity to prevent national division, he should appoint nominee Ma today."
