,
, ‘[Herald Economy=Reporters Ahn Dae-yong and Park Sang-hyun] Park Chan-dae, the acting co-chairman and floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized the recent controversy of ‘ignoring text messages’ that emerged during the process of the People Power Party’s national convention on the 8th, saying, “Despite the public welfare being in ruins, there is no time to spare.”‘,
,
, ‘On that day, Park mentioned during the party’s highest council meeting held at the National Assembly in the morning, “The ruling party’s national convention process is showing signs of downfall.”‘,
,
, ‘Park pointed out, “With the public welfare in ruins, national failure, and reflection on the defeat in the general elections still inadequate, instead of reflecting and contemplating on those issues, the ruling party has resorted to a futile power struggle between pro-Yoon (pro-Yoon Seok-yeol) and anti-Yoon factions, resulting in even the involvement of the First Lady in a truth battle over ignoring text messages.”‘,
,
, ‘He further questioned, “Can the People Power Party see the people’s cries amidst this?”‘,
,
, ‘He also criticized, “The Blue House is sowing doubts about internal election meddling by warning not to exploit elections further for the upcoming election, showing the exact opposite of what the public expects from the ruling party, which is thorough reflection on national failure.”‘,
,
, ‘He continued, “The People Power Party should try to figure out why over 1.2 million citizens are agreeing to the petition for the president’s impeachment,” and added, “I hope they show a party congress that changes through innovation, reflection, reform, and contemplation instead of futile political wrangling.”‘,
,
, ‘Park also urged a turnaround in the fiscal policy of the Yoon Seok-yeol government.’,
,
, ‘He said, “The government, which used to emphasize support for the working class, is struggling with the largest national debt in history,” and criticized, “With the increased national debt and a shortfall in tax revenue since last year, the unstable finances are causing the country’s treasury to run empty. Yet, the government stubbornly sticks to tax cuts for the rich for the second year.”‘,
,
, ‘He remarked, “If an ordinary person managed finances like this, they would have already gone bankrupt,” and urged, “Even at this point, I call for a shift from a policy of tax cuts for the rich to a financial policy prioritizing public welfare.”‘,
