Democratic Party criticizes the National Foundation Day outdoor rally... “An anti-people’s livelihood party that abandoned the National Assembly audit”

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi Pyeong-cheon = The Democratic Party of Korea criticized the People Power Party for holding a large-scale rally to 'condemn the Lee Jae-myung government's mismanagement' in the area of ​​Sungnyemun Gate in Seoul on the 3rd, National Foundation Day, saying, "We cannot help but ask whether the main opposition party's taking to the streets right before the National Assembly audit is really for the good of the people."

Floor spokesperson Jeon Eun-soo said this in a written briefing that day, calling it “a powerful display by People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk.”

He pointed out, “According to reports, the People Power Party issued an order for general mobilization for this rally,” and added, “It is said that attendance and total number of people were reported. A rally that allocates the number of people and checks attendance cannot be said to represent the voice of the people.”

He continued, "The People Power Party held the same rally a year ago," and criticized, "Today, in order to protect one party representative, the entire party abandoned the National Assembly audit and took to the streets."

At the same time, he pointed out, “The People Power Party, which has not changed anything even after a year, is a party without reflection or introspection,” and “It is an anti-people’s livelihood party where power within the party is more important than the people.”

Former floor spokesperson said, "If the people's livelihood and the economy are difficult and security is serious, let the National Assembly do its job. It is the responsibility of the main opposition party to thoroughly monitor the government through state affairs audits and come up with concrete practical measures for the people's livelihood."

Spokesperson Shin Hyun-young also pointed out in a briefing, "The intention of the People Power Party's off-site rally, which seemed to be like a black eye in the middle of the night, was revealed," and "What poured out at the rally, which was held despite criticism during the regular National Assembly session when all efforts should be made to prepare for the government inspection, was praise for Representative Jang Dong-hyuk."

Spokesperson Shin criticized, "In order to sustain the collapsing Jang Dong-hyuk regime, they incited hard-core supporters with extreme language and hate speech," and added, "The rally was full of extreme slogans such as 'Lee Jae-myung, come down,' and 'We will bring down Lee Jae-myung from the Blue House.'"

He continued, “At the podium, there was a continued remark that we must unite around Jang Dong-hyuk,” adding, “The people are just confused as to what help Jang Dong-hyuk’s off-site rallies for Jang Dong-hyuk, by Jang Dong-hyuk, can help the people’s livelihood.”
