Park Chandae "President Yoon Must Accept Marine Special Investigation... Last Chance Remains"

Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said on the 10th, "President Yoon Seok-yeol has one last chance," and added, "He must show his willingness to fully accept the special investigation law on Marine Corps personnel."

At the Supreme Council meeting at the National Assembly that morning, Floor Leader Park said, "Refusing the special investigation on Marine Corps personnel is truly bad politics."

He emphasized again, "President Yoon must promise to provide the livelihood recovery support fund," and warned, "If he rejects even this last chance, he will face the wrath of public opinion." Earlier, President Yoon had effectively rejected the Democratic Party's request to provide 250,000 won as the livelihood recovery support fund during a press conference the previous day.

Regarding the press conference held the day before, Floor Leader Park said, "President Yoon praised himself, but the people felt the past two years as if they were twenty years, experiencing the worst times," and evaluated, "He showed ultimate incompetence in all areas including economy, livelihood, diplomacy, security, personnel, and safety, and demonstrated the height of ruthlessness in media suppression."

He raised his voice, saying, "With President Yoon's continued use of veto power, legislative authority has been infringed upon and the spirit of separation of powers has been seriously damaged," and added, "There are even evaluations that the country is undergoing dictatorship."

Floor Leader Park criticized, "Livelihoods are ruined, the economy is in collapse, and the people are crying out that they cannot make a living, so in what world does the president live?" and said, "The public sentiment from the last general election was that the direction of state administration was wrong and the attitude was wrong, so it demands a complete revision, but the president still has not come to his senses."
