Democratic Party criticizes Representative Jang Dong-hyuk... ‘It’s not Chun Doo-hwan’s rebellion’ Rep. Kim Tae-gyu also rules for ‘disqualification’

On the 4th, the Democratic Party of Korea criticized the People Power Party for holding a large-scale rally to 'condemn the Lee Jae-myung administration's mismanagement' in the area of ​​Sungnyemun Gate in Seoul the day before, saying, "Is Jang Dong-hyuk (representative) of the People Power Party's politics nothing but drumming and shouting?"

Park Seong-joon, chief spokesperson of the Democratic Party, said in a written briefing that day, "Representative Jang does not even pay attention to the numerous pending issues and the dire circumstances of the people's livelihood. Is he suffering from habitual off-site rally syndrome?"

Chief Spokesperson Park asked, "What have you done as the leader of the opposition party for over a year? Other than going out on the streets whenever you get the chance, raising election rigging conspiracy theories, and using the Ethics Committee as a Red Guard to eliminate opponents, what have you done?"

He said, "CEO Jang's behavior, addicted to the applause of far-right YouTubers, will remain a big stain on the political history of the Republic of Korea."

He continued, “The only thing we can gain from street agitation is the empty shouts of far-right supporters,” and emphasized, “We must return to the National Assembly now and do our job.”

Chief Spokesperson Park said, “The National Assembly audit will begin in two days,” and urged, “Rather than opposition for the sake of opposition, or a show to hold back, cooperate in creating policies and alternatives for the people’s livelihood.”

Meanwhile, Senior Spokesperson Park criticized People Power Party lawmaker Kim Tae-gyu, who had said that the actions of former Presidents Yoon Seok-yeol and Chun Doo-hwan were "not a civil war," and that he was "disqualified not only as a member of the National Assembly, but also as a citizen of the Republic of Korea."

Senior Spokesperson Park pointed out, "Kim Tae-gyu's reckless statement that neither Chun Doo-hwan nor Yoon Seok-yeol was a civil war is a direct denial of the Constitution and history of the Republic of Korea." He added, "To deny the civil war of Chun Doo-hwan, who pointed his gun and sword at the people, is to trample on the victims and bereaved families twice."

Chief Spokesperson Park mentioned that the National Assembly Steering Committee passed a resolution calling for the expulsion of Rep. Kim on the 2nd and said, “Representative Jang must immediately respond to the people’s order to expel Rep. Kim.”

He also added, “If that is not possible, the anti-constitutional DNA of the People Power Party will be cut off by the people themselves by bringing them to justice.”
