,
, ‘Representative Lee stated at the National Assembly’s highest council meeting on the 20th, “The Chae Sang-byeok Special Prosecutor Law must be immediately enacted, and national policies should be completely reversed from this point on,” and emphasized, “There should be no more testing of the people’s patience.”‘,
,
, ‘Rep. Lee criticized, saying, “There are reports that President Yoon met with newly elected members of the People Power Party and told them to use the president’s veto power as a negotiating card. Ultimately, this is no different from provoking a full-fledged confrontation with the opposition.”‘,
,
, ‘He added, “The most important role of the president in a democratic country is national unity. Even if representing a specific faction until being elected, once elected, the president should represent the entire nation. It is unacceptable why he is going against the will of the people after promising to embrace the voices of the people in the general election.”‘,

,
, ‘He continued, “Let me share a basic economic common sense – the flow of the economy will inevitably deteriorate in the future,” and said, “Isn’t saving (finances) now because it’s difficult a primitive way of thinking from the undeveloped 1970s? Requesting the policy authorities to think more comprehensively and smartly.”‘,
