Jeong Cheong-rae, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, assessed People Power Party Floor Leader Song Eon-seok's National Assembly negotiation group representative speech by saying, "He talked about cooperation, but it seemed there was only intimidation," and added, "It felt like an anti-communist oratory contest."
After Song's representative speech for the negotiation group ended on the 10th, Leader Jeong met with reporters outside the National Assembly's main chamber and said this. Regarding Song's assessment of the Lee Jae-myung administration's first 100 days as "honyong mudo (昏庸無道·a disorderly world under the misrule of an incompetent ruler)," he said, "It was a speech that would fit perfectly if you swapped out 'Lee Jae-myung administration' for 'Yoon Suk-yeol administration' in the text."
Park Su-hyeon, the Democratic Party chief spokesperson, also held a briefing at the National Assembly's Communication Center that day and said, "The People Power Party, which has not said a single word of apology about the insurrection, should stop using cooperation as a pretext for intimidation and join us in a 'competition to do well' for the people."
Chief Spokesperson Park said, "Floor Leader Song was busy belittling the government's achievements as regression and its reforms as backflow," adding, "It was nothing short of a 'public intimidation rally,' using cooperation as a pretext to threaten."
She went on, "Without a single word of apology about a faction that used guns and knives to topple constitutional government and threaten the people, and still unable to sever ties with it, they are fixated on denouncing the reforms pursued by the Democratic Party as national disintegration and the livelihood recovery budget as a pile of debt," adding, "We hope the People Power Party will heed the concern to avoid standing on the 'constitutional court bench for dissolution of an unconstitutional party,' sever ties with the insurrectionist faction, and join us in a 'competition to do well' for the people."
