(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Yeon-jeong and Noh Seon-woong = People Power Party floor leader Jeong Jeong-sik said on the 19th regarding the controversy surrounding President Lee Jae-myung's live broadcast of the Cabinet meeting and SNS, "There is a separate reason why President Lee is obsessed with the live broadcast of the Cabinet meeting and SNS. It is because he is politically cornered."
At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly, floor leader Jeong pointed out, "Because I feel frustrated and want to deny the reality that is coming before me, I am trying to console myself by ranting and shouting out superficial instructions at the cabinet meeting and excessively sending messages targeting the Democratic Party's supporters on social media."
He went on to say, “The president’s behavior like this, turning a blind eye to the reality of national affairs and being obsessed with denying reality and consoling himself, is a symptom of the regime’s terminal stage.”
Regarding the live broadcast of the Cabinet meeting, he said, "It is right not to broadcast the current Cabinet meeting live, which only causes public annoyance," and asked, "Is the Lee Jae-myung administration talking about communication by yelling at public officials in front of the camera while consistently covering issues that depend on the lives and property of the people, such as the introduction of a single-stock leveraged ETF, deferring national pension rebalancing, and reporting on North Korea's land mine laying, behind closed doors?"
Regarding the president's SNS, he said, "The president has no shame in getting into arguments with the general public and using childish words like 'left-handed,'" and added, "This president can't distinguish between carelessness and communication."
In addition, floor leader Chung referred to the Democratic Party's Gyeonggi Governor Choo Mi-ae, Gangwon Governor Woo Sang-ho, and Incheon Mayor Park Chan-dae as the 'Chu, Woo, and Park Trio' and said, "Total incompetence without responsibility is the essence of the Democratic Party," and added, "I hope they will cut off their attachment to central politics and focus on administration."
He criticized, "Governor Chu has increased confusion by cutting core welfare budgets without prior consultation with cities and counties in the province, and Governor Woo reversed his election declaration that 'the hosting of the Gangneung data center has been confirmed' within four months." He criticized, "Mayor Park is busy supporting the government, saying 'Incheon will not be disadvantaged' as soon as the plan to relocate the Overseas Koreans' Office to Sejong, which was difficult to attract to Incheon three years ago, was announced."
