(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi Pyeong-cheon = Kim Min-seok, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, responded to some people's criticism of President Lee Jae-myung's SNS communication on the 1st by saying, "Don't be too swayed by such things. When the president feels it is good to share such words with the people, he should do so comfortably, and if he feels it is excessive, the people will judge."
On the Democratic Party's YouTube channel 'Minty 07' on this day, Representative Kim responded to the moderator's question, "There are criticisms that the President's SNS is too frequent and that he should stop quoting other people's writings," and said, "You don't necessarily have to view the world using old grammar."
He added, “If you follow the words of those who (point out) that, one day you will be like, ‘Why doesn’t the president communicate like this?’”
Representative Kim also covered President Lee, who refuted on social media the criticism of Kim Ji-yong, the candidate for the head of the Serious Crimes Investigation Agency, by some in the ruling party as a 'pro-Yoon (pro-Yoon Seok-yeol) prosecutor.'
Representative Kim said, “(The president) accepts what is right and justifiable among the issues raised, but he seems to think it is necessary to clearly explain things like continuing to do something that is not at all or continuing to frame things even after it has been explained that it is not the case.”
He went on to say, “If you look at the comments on the president’s words, there are some cases that are embarrassing to look at,” and added, “Nevertheless, I think that politics will ultimately be resolved in the direction of the people.”
Representative Kim also said, “The President recently said, ‘I can’t do this alone,’ and complained about some difficulties and said, ‘I ask you all to participate.’” He added, “I’m starting to feel a response to that little by little.”
He emphasized, "I am confident that if we do not do anything wrong and do not be stubborn, and if the president of a democratic government with four years left in his term has his own autonomy and confidence and moves forward by trusting the people, I am confident that the people will eventually float the boat again."
Representative Kim also mentioned the amendment to the Emergency Medical Services Act, the so-called 'Emergency Room Hit-and-Run Prevention Act', which is likely to be passed at the plenary session of the National Assembly this afternoon, and said, "It is still difficult to be confident that it will be 100% resolved, but it will be significantly improved, and we must make efforts to avoid any problems."
