PPP: Is President Lee Captured by Yong Hye-in? Claiming Appointment Is Well-Done Is Arrogance

The People Power Party stepped up its offensive to block the appointments of Minister of Justice nominee Kim Seung-won and Minister of Gender Equality and Family nominee Yong Hye-in, citing public opinion opposing their appointments shown in various polls.

During this process, the People Power Party took Yong's disqualification as a given and pressured President Lee Jae-myung to make a decision, while highlighting that the Democratic Party's defensive shield for Kim amounts to ignoring the public sentiment.

Senior Spokesperson Park Sung-hoon said in a briefing today, "Keep in mind that if you end up ignoring public warnings and trying to go against the public sentiment, the price of that arrogance and self-righteousness will ultimately result in the destruction of the entire Lee Jae-myung administration."

In addition, regarding Democratic Party Leader Kim Min-seok's assessment of nominee Kim as "an appointment that looks better the more you watch," he emphasized, "This is a direct challenge to public sentiment and an arrogant declaration of war against the public. Personnel verification has vanished, responsibility is gone, and only the administration's bulletproof shield remains."

Regarding nominee Yong's press conference the day before yesterday (the 10th), the party claimed, "It was not for the public, but a threat and a message telling President Lee not to withdraw her nomination. At this point, we cannot help but ask whether President Lee and the presidential office have been compromised by nominee Yong."
