On the morning of the 23rd, Kim Min-seok, the Democratic Party’s chief official, is presiding over the party’s highest committee meeting in the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul. [Yonhap News], ‘Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Min-seok presided over the party’s highest committee meeting at the National Assembly on the 23rd as the Acting Chief Executive Officer for the first time.’,
,
, ‘Kim’s participation in chairing the highest committee meeting on this day was due to Lee Jae-myung, the party leader, being absent due to a confirmed COVID-19 case, and Park Chan-dae, the chief whip, being on leave. According to the party’s charter, in the absence of the party leader, the chief whip, and the Acting Chief Executive Officer, duties are carried out sequentially.’,
,
, ‘Kim’s presence as the chair of the highest committee meeting is seen as an effective move to officially appoint him as the Acting Chief Executive Officer by practically designating him as a running mate of Lee Jae-myung, who was in charge in the first administration. Kim earned praise for his role as the chairman of the policy committee and the head of the general election control room in Lee’s first administration.’,
,
, ‘As the first speaker at the meeting, Kim directed his remarks towards Han Dong-hoon, the leader of the main opposition People Power Party.’,
,
, ‘He criticized, “The postponement of the bipartisan leaders’ meeting due to Lee Jae-myung’s COVID-19 confirmed case,” and said, “Trying to avoid one’s promise by setting conditions for the Marine Corps Special Law and then resorting to an unprecedented live broadcast to evade one’s own promise is a typical example of petty and dishonest politics.”‘,
,
, ‘He then directly addressed Han, saying, “I ask the party leader, was the third-party recommended special prosecutor a promise or just an empty promise? Is breaking the party leader’s number one promise a new politics?”, criticizing him straight.’,
,
, ‘He emphasized, “Changing one’s words is not new politics, and proposing a live broadcast without the special prosecutor promise means more emptiness than the verdict lacking in government reflection. Comparing it to ‘Yoon Suk-yeol’s avatar,’ a statement that only sounds flamboyant but lacks substance.”‘,
