Press conference on pending National Assembly inspection issues... “If the demand for resignation is unfair, expose the real culprits of the ‘three major policy disasters’”
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Yeon-jeong Jo Daun = People Power Party floor leader Jeong Jeong-sik said on the 11th, "We urge Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Song Mi-ryeong to resign and take responsibility for the 'farmland disaster', Minister of the Interior and Safety Yun Ho-jung for the 'security disaster', and Financial Services Commission Chairman Lee Eok-won for the 'stock disaster'."
Floor leader Jeong held a press conference on the current affairs of the National Assembly audit at the National Assembly and said, "The points that stood out during the National Assembly audit last week were the three major policy disasters caused by the Lee Jae-myung administration's hasty administration, including the stock disaster (the hasty introduction of a single-stock leveraged ETF), the farmland disaster (the complete farmland investigation debacle), and the security disaster (the hasty launch of the Serious Crimes Investigation Office)."
He said, “If the demand for resignation is unfair, I hope that during the remaining period of the National Assembly inspection, the real culprit of the three major policy disasters will be revealed to the public.”
First of all, he said, "Financial Service Commission Chairman Lee Eok-won has stepped forward, proudly claiming to be a 'bullet cannon for the Blue House' regarding the single-stock leveraged ETF, which caused tens of trillions of trillions of losses to the public. It is not an order from the Blue House, but the Financial Services Commission itself made its own decision," and asked, "In that case, Chairman Lee should take responsibility and resign, but the reason he continues to hold his position is because he was given the task of being a bullet cannon."
He also criticized, "The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced supplementary measures for the complete farmland survey as if they had been waiting the very next day after receiving the national inspection on agricultural and marine water levels. If they announce it before the national inspection, they will not be able to avoid criticism from the National Assembly inspection as 'a tinkering prescription for losing cows and fixing barns,' so it appears that they waited for the national inspection to pass before announcing it. They are only making a fuss."
Next, "Minister Ho-joong Yoon gave an absurd answer to a question asking him to take responsibility for the poor launch of the Heavy Investigation Agency, saying, 'Isn't the opening itself the purpose?'" and "The promises to the public by Chief of Staff Kang Hoon-sik, who said, 'Check thoroughly to ensure that it can perform its original function without a hitch from the first day of launch,' and Prime Minister Han Seong-sook, who said, 'Find in advance and make up for gaps and confusion that may occur in the field,' were revealed to be 100% false and lies. “Are these words meant to ‘open the office itself’?” he asked.
He pointed out, "This is a 'bad administration' that is completely irresponsible in policies for the people, but is thoroughly meticulous in sharing the space for itself."
He then emphasized that during the remaining National Assembly inspection period, "We will more thoroughly investigate the seat-sharing parachute and code personnel arrangements led by the Seongnam-Gyeonggi line."
