The Hankyoreh: Latest News on General Politics

During the “100 Minute Debate 1000 Special” on Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC), Daegu Mayor Hong Joon-pyo disagreed with President Yoon Seok-yeol’s criticism of lack of communication and discussion. The debate covered key issues such as the one-year evaluation of the Yoon Seok-yeol government, the investigation of the Democratic Party’s representative prosecutor Lee Jae-myung, and the Korea-Japan summit. According to the debate’s own opinion poll, many respondents believed that there was not enough discussion in real politics. Mayor Hong attributed this to the low presidential approval rating and the fact that President Yoon had been in office for less than a year with no political power. He suggested waiting, helping, and doing well instead of requesting dialogue, discussion, and compromise as novice politics. The former chairman of the Roh Moo-hyun Foundation, Chairman Yoo, agreed with Mayor Hong and pointed out that the President lacked experience and had little idea about issues other than alcohol and food.
