Jang Dong-hyuk, leader of the People Power Party, criticized President Lee Jae-myung on July 14 for his silence on pressing issues, including the disappearance of naval personnel and the Jang Yoon-ki case.
In a post on his Facebook page, Jang stated, "Politics is about providing answers. As president, one must do their utmost to respond to the public's questions."
He specifically called out President Lee, saying, "When the navy was searching for missing personnel, the president did not answer a simple question about whether he was playing golf. If golf took precedence over the lives of soldiers, he is unfit to be the commander-in-chief. He cannot admit, deny, or even respond to this question."
Jang also noted, "Despite the fact that citizens were unable to vote due to a lack of ballots, the president has yet to offer a proper apology. He insists on a special investigation to cancel his trial, yet he ignores the public's demand for a special investigation to restore voting rights."
Furthermore, he remarked, "When the stock market rises, he boasts about his achievements, but when it crashes, there are no apologies or measures taken. He claimed that real estate was easier than valley maintenance, yet he remains silent amid unprecedented real estate price surges. He promoted the sale of apartments in Bundang but has not provided any updates on whether they sold or not."
Jang added, "He made a fuss about sending pizza to the police for catching fake news he disliked, yet he has gone silent on the Jang Yoon-ki case. It’s all about maximum volume when it’s favorable and mute when it’s not. This is the characteristic of Lee Jae-myung and his administration."
He concluded, "If a TV breaks down, at least it gets repaired, but the faulty politics of a broken president cannot be fixed. The public's frustration is only rising in this heat."
