The ruling and opposition parties stand in extreme confrontation despite warnings about people’s livelihoods
Tomorrow’s Kim Haeng hearing suggests that he will not attend.
On the 6th, Lee Gyun-yong’s appointment proposal is expected to be rejected.
It looks like there will be a clash following the battle of wits at the leadership meeting.

“The theory of judging the Yoon Seok-yeol government is growing stronger in various places.”
After listening to public opinion from all over the country during the Chuseok holiday, the ruling and opposition parties came up with a takeover-style interpretation and started a ‘blame it on you’ battle for the poor living conditions of the common people and distrust of politicians. In particular, the ruling party indicated that it would not participate in the confirmation hearing for Minister of Gender Equality and Family Kim Haeng on the 5th, and the opposition party announced that it would reject the motion to appoint Lee Kyun-yong as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court at the plenary session on the 6th, so antagonism is expected to continue.
As a result of the Seoul Shinmun’s interview with the chairpersons of each provincial and provincial party of the ruling and opposition parties on the 3rd, both the ruling and opposition parties cited the dismissal of Representative Lee’s arrest warrant and judicial risk as the biggest issues, but their views were opposite.
Song Seok-jun (Icheon, Gyeonggi Province), Chairman of the Gyeonggi Provincial Party Committee of the People Power Party, said in a phone call, “There were many opinions asking whether it makes sense to regard Representative Lee as a person in power when many of the people around him have been arrested,” adding, “There are also many who say that it is difficult to make a living.” . On the other hand, Shin Jeong-hoon (Naju and Hwasun, Jeollanam-do), chairman of the Jeonnam Provincial Party Committee of the Democratic Party, said, “After Representative Lee’s arrest warrant was dismissed, public sentiment in the region has improved a lot,” and added, “Criticism of the Yoon Seok-yeol government is sky-high.”
Floor leaders of both parties also cited recovery of the economy and people’s livelihood as the top priority to win over public sentiment, but People Power Party floor leader Yoon Jae-ok emphasized a ‘working National Assembly’ at the floor plan meeting, and Democratic Party floor leader Hong Ik-pyo called for ‘revolution of state administration’ at a press conference. .
Floor Leader Yoon also said, “It is extremely unusual to decide on the hearing schedule and witnesses alone. “It’s not like we’re just going to go, it’s an incomprehensible situation,” he said, implying that he would not participate in the confirmation hearing for Minister candidate Kim. On the other hand, floor leader Hong said on a radio station that “overall public opinion within the party is very negative” about the candidate for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, raising concerns about the prolonged absence of Chief Justice.
Meanwhile, Representative Lee proposed a ‘people’s livelihood meeting’ to President Yoon, but People Power Party Representative Kim Ki-hyun said, “Why don’t you talk about it in the National Assembly and go to the wrong place and talk about it?” He dismissed it as “soft wood fish.” An official from the President’s Office said, “I have nothing special to say.”
