On the 14th, Cho Kuk, representative of the Fatherland Innovation Party, proposed an official meeting with President Yoon, saying, “As the representative of the third largest party in the National Assembly, I hope to meet President Yoon Seok-yeol at any time and in any format.” However, the President’s Office avoided an immediate response, saying, “Reorganizing the internal system comes first.”
Representative Cho claimed on Facebook this morning, “President Yoon did not meet Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, because he had a goal of arresting him before the general election,” and “He saw him as a ‘suspect’ rather than a ‘partner in state affairs.’”
He continued, “He must have believed that if he used the prosecution to strike down his political opponents, he would easily win the general election and regain power. “It’s a poor and naive idea,” he said. “But President Yoon’s goal was aborted, and the People Power Party suffered a crushing defeat in the general election.”
Representative Cho said, “I want to say something politely and firmly at a public meeting. “We await a response from the Yongsan Presidential Office to this disclosure request,” he wrote.
Accordingly, an official from the Presidential Office said, “We are currently looking for personnel reform, such as replacing the Chief of Staff in the Presidential Office,” and added, “For now, the priority is to reorganize the internal system.”
Previously, Representative Lee also proposed a meeting with President Yoon. Representative Lee said on the 12th, “Of course I will meet (President Yoon) and have a conversation,” adding, “It’s just a shame that I haven’t been able to do it until now.” He also said, “Of course, President Yoon, who is in charge of this country’s state affairs, will also need cooperation and cooperation with the opposition party.” Since taking office as party leader in August 2022, Representative Lee has proposed holding talks with the leadership eight times, but President Yoon has consistently expressed his intention to ‘no response’ or ‘deny’.
Even within the ruling party, there are voices calling for President Yoon to agree to a summit meeting. Kim Jae-seop, Seoul’s Dobong-gap-elect, said of the leaders’ meeting, “It is not a matter of choice, but a matter of necessity. Of course, we must meet, and there are too many issues that need to be resolved by meeting.” Kim Yong-tae, the leader-elect of Pocheon-Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province, said, “No one would view it as unnatural for the president to meet and talk with the opposition party leader,” and added, “Meeting and talking about people’s livelihood is the beginning of politics.”
While attention is focused on whether President Yoon will finally respond to repeated requests for summit talks, it is reported that President Yoon will announce his position on the results of the general election early next week and explain the direction of future national reform.
