The Democratic Party has called on the People Power Party to stop distorting President Lee Jae-myung's remarks during a recent press conference.
On September 19, Jeon Eun-soo, the party's floor spokesperson, stated in a commentary, "President Lee clearly stated during the press conference that he has no intention of seeking re-election." She added, "Yet, the People Power Party is twisting his words by asking, 'Is it that difficult to declare that you will not seek re-election?'"
Regarding President Lee's request to remove the 'prosecutorial cancellation authority' clause from the special prosecutor law, Jeon emphasized, "The president asked for it to be removed himself." She further pointed out, "Despite this, the People Power Party is portraying Kim Seung-won, the nominee for Minister of Justice, as someone tasked with the 'mission of completing the cancellation of charges.'"
The Democratic Party also urged the People Power Party to cooperate in formulating measures to address the cost of living. Jeon remarked, "They are misinterpreting the president's words, and at this point, it seems they only want to hear what they want to hear." She added, "Instead of wandering outside, they should cooperate in the National Assembly to establish measures for stabilizing prices and addressing the cost of living."
