Han Byeong-do, the acting leader of the Democratic Party, criticized the People Power Party for politicizing real estate issues.
During a policy meeting held on August 10 at the National Assembly, Han stated, "The People Power Party, which was the ruling party during the Yoon Suk Yeol administration, has wasted three years yet shamelessly blames others."
He added, "Due to the People Power Party's obstruction, the follow-up legislation for housing supply announced by the government last September is stuck in the National Assembly. What is it that they are opposing that directly impacts people's livelihoods and housing stability?" He emphasized that "we cannot design housing policies that meet the public's expectations through mere verbal political strife."
Han also mentioned, "President Lee Jae-myung has called for a comprehensive review of the ISA reform plan and the stock price stabilization law," questioning, "Is the People Power Party suggesting that we should continue with policies once decided, despite public criticism?"
He asserted, "Even if the policy objectives are correct, if different outcomes are expected in people's lives and the market, it is our duty to promptly reassess and prepare better alternatives. We will not repeat the arrogance and disconnect represented by the relocation of the presidential office to Yongsan and the Yoon Suk Yeol-style politics." He particularly stressed, "We will become a ruling party that listens to the voices of the people and responds swiftly."
