Democratic Party lawmakers and elected officials emphasized that President Yoon Seok-yeol should personally apologize and meet with Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myeong regarding the results of the April 10 general election.
On the 12th, Rep. Kim Min-seok said on KBS Radio’s ‘Jeon Jong-cheol’s Shocking Current Affairs’, “The people have already spoken through their votes. “Now is the time for the president to truly answer for that,” he said.
He continued, “It is not yet possible to guess what and how President Yoon is truly trying to change based on what he said after the election.” “It is basic,” he added.
Representative Min Hyeong-bae also said on CBS’ ‘Kim Hyun-jung’s News Show’, “In a case like this, how can the President not step forward and have the Prime Minister and his staff speak?” and “The first thing to do is for President Yoon to personally apologize for this judgment.” “It is,” he said.
President-elect Lee Eon-joo (Yonginjeong, Gyeonggi Province) also said on MBC radio, “Before the next National Assembly begins, the president should at least apologize and announce a roadmap for changing the tone of state administration to the people.” He added, “The resignation of the entire cabinet and a complete overhaul are also necessary. “It cannot end at the level where Prime Minister Han Deok-soo and a few others express their resignation,” he emphasized.
They urged President Yoon to meet with Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the main opposition party.
Representative Min said, “President Yoon must recognize the opposition party as a partner and open a window of dialogue with the Democratic Party,” and added, “Whether it is a meeting with the Prime Minister or something else, the starting point is to take the minimum measure that the President can take directly.”
Rep. Kim Byeong-ju said on YTN radio, “President Yoon will be recorded in history as the only president who did not meet with the opposition party leader for about two years. Even if he takes that route because he was a candidate for a specific political party before becoming president, when he becomes president, he will become the leader of the people.” He pointed out, “He must become president and engage in politics of integration and inclusiveness.”
