In the presidential conference, there is a gap in the ruling party...Opposition "Empty Apology"

[Anchor]
Political reactions to President Yoon Suk Yeol's public statement and press conference are mixed.

In particular, pro-Yoon-gye and close circles showed a sharp difference in views within the power of the people, and the Democratic Party of Korea criticized the public for despair due to the crushing of various suspicions after an empty apology.

I'm connecting with the National Assembly reporter, reporter Lim Sung-jae!

There are various reactions to President Yoon's statement and press conference within the ruling party?

[Reporter]
Yes, in the presidential discourse and press conferences, within the power of the people, pro-Yoon-gye and close relationships reveal a clear difference in views.

First of all, the pro-Yoon world mainly responded that the president had an honest conversation with the people.

Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho praised the president for explaining the controversy with a sincere attitude during a briefing at the National Assembly.Let's listen to



[Choo Kyung-ho / People's Power Floor Leader: As the president in charge of state affairs, I think I spoke frankly and openly (to the public) about various pending state affairs.]

Rep. Kwon Sung-dong said in a phone call with YTN that President Yoon accurately identified where the public sentiment was and sincerely apologized for his fault at the point of concern.

Other senior lawmakers also said that they think the special prosecutor and personnel reform are insufficient, but they said that they could not receive the special prosecutor in the first place and that they would take time to make personnel appointments.

However, many close circles responded that the contents of President Yoon's statement did not meet expectations.

In a phone call, a close-knit person said, "Apology should not only be clear, but there should be measures to prevent a recurrence.

In particular, he pointed out that apologizing at the beginning of the discourse and saying that there are many misunderstandings about Mrs. Kim at a later conference were inconsistent.The second-term lawmaker

said, "President Yoon seems to be trying to move on without knowing the seriousness," and expressed a pessimistic outlook on the recent struggling approval rating of the state.

Han Dong-hoon, who is said to have watched the presidential speech somewhere, has yet to make an official statement.

In the Democratic Party of Korea, not only the leadership, such as Chairman Lee Jae-myung, but also the harsh criticism continued, right?

In particular, the Democratic Party of Korea's remarks on the "Kim Special Prosecutor Act," which is expected to be handled this month, were poured out?

[Reporter]
The Democratic Party of Korea accused the people of despair at President Yoon's 140-minute statement and press conference.It is claimed that President

Yoon crushed all suspicions after an empty apology.

During the press conference, Chairman Lee Jae-myung met with reporters at the National Assembly and evaluated that President Yoon's remarks do not seem to be something that the people are willing to agree with.Let's listen to



[Lee Jae-myung / Minjoo Party leader: It's a little too early to tell you what I'm saying because I didn't read the details, but from what's been said, I don't think the Korean people are willing to agree with it]

In particular, President Yoon said, "Since the people are equal before the law, shouldn't anyone be investigated if there are any questions?" regarding what he described as "political instigation."

Citing the U.S. case, Supreme Council member Lee Eon-joo criticized President Yoon's remarks to the effect that it is against the separation of powers for the National Assembly to play a leading role in the appointment of the special prosecutor, saying, "Isn't he the prosecutor who raided Cheong Wa Dae in the past?" and "Isn't his conscience run away?"

Not only the leadership but also the party as a whole has received negative reviews.

Rep. Park Ji-won said on social media, "Why are you holding a press conference if you are going to do this, saying that President Yoon has poured out what you want to say?"
Rep.
Jeong Cheong-rae sarcastically said, "Kim looks at President Yoon's cell phone, but President Yoon is in his position that he can't do that."

Cho Kuk, the leader of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party, said he saw President Yoon's desperate efforts to protect Kim, and insisted that he should bring out President Yoon, who did not admit any facts and scolded the people.

So far, I'm YTN Lim Sungjae in the National Assembly.
