Minjoo "President's office, another red flag...A hostage to the people's livelihood for special expenses."

In addition, the Democratic Party of Korea criticized the president's office for brazenly demonstrating red flags when it protested that the opposition party was solely responsible for problems with people's livelihoods, security, and diplomacy due to the "reduced budget."

Floor spokesman Kang Yoo-jung issued a comment, saying, "It's pathetic because the government and the ruling party kick the negotiation table and there is no increase without withdrawal of the reduction plan."

He then asked if the president would use state affairs and people's livelihoods as pawns to protect the special activity costs of power institutions in his hands.
