On the 7th, the People’s Power leadership criticized President Lee Jae Myung’s state administration for being biased toward the progressive camp and urged the complete withdrawal of the cabinet reshuffle.

At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly on the same day, representative Jang Dong-hyuk said, “There are no more people in the state affairs of President Lee Jae Myung. “There is only the left,” he said. “I want to be the leader of the left, not the president of the people.”

Representative Jang said, “The president’s answer to the plunge in approval ratings was ‘left-leaning,'” citing the invitation of the heads of the two major labor unions and activists from civic groups to Cheong Wa Dae. Regarding the replacement of Lee Seok-yeon, chairman of the National Integration Committee, he said, “In the end, the voice on the right is that I don’t even want to hear it. The end of the left-wing rush is the fall of the regime.”

Regarding the recently nominated ministerial candidates, he urged, “We should thoroughly check whether “Mansah Hyun-tong” Kim, the first deputy chief of the Blue House, is also a sham,” adding, “We need to withdraw the nomination of Justice Minister Kim Seung-won and Gender Equality and Family Minister nominee Yong Hye-in, as well as the reshuffle itself.”

Regarding Hong Ji-sun, the nominee for Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, floor leader Chung Je-sik called for reconsideration, saying, “The appointment of the Minister of Land is ‘occupying real estate policy by the Seongnam and Gyeonggi lines.’

Floor leader Chung criticized the Lee Jae Myung government’s real estate policy in the future, saying, “The real estate policy of the Lee Han-joo and Hong Ji-seon cannot be trusted by the public,” referring to the fact that Lee Han-joo, a special presidential policy adviser, and Hong served as the head of the Gyeonggi Institute and head of the Gyeonggi-do Urban Housing Office, respectively, when Lee was governor of Gyeonggi Province.

Regarding Justice Minister nominee Kim Seung-won’s suspicion of asking for approval for a clinical trial of a new drug, he said, “It is not the essence of the problem whether it is a request or a civil petition.” I hope he will give up his post as minister right away,” he said.
