At the inauguration ceremony of the Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province, held at the Moak Hall of the Korea Sound Culture Center in Deokjin-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeollabuk-do on the 18th, Progressive Party lawmaker Kang Seong-hee, railed against the President Yoon Seok-yeol, “You must change the tone of the government,” is detained by security guards and taken out of the event venue. Jeonju = The battle between the ruling and opposition parties is intensifying as Newsis Progressive Party lawmaker Kang Seong-hee was forced to leave the inauguration ceremony of Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province on the 18th, while asking President Yoon Seok-yeol to change the situation. tone of state affairs. The opposition party raised the level of criticism, saying, “We are returning to oversecurity and a monarchy,” and the ruling party responded by asking, “Is rudeness a symbol of the left wing of the Republic of Korea?” The Presidential Office’s position is that it acted in accordance with the “Principles of Security,” the Presidential Guard’s response manual.
● “President Yoon was so embarrassed that he asked me to ‘let go of my hands’”
In a phone call with Dong-A Ilbo on the 19th, an official from the Presidential Office said, “The Presidential Security Service responded according to the manual” and “It is not an overreaction.” When Representative Kang exercised his power by pulling Chairman Yoon during a handshake, he felt it was a dangerous situation and responded to the dangerous situation with distancing tactics to distance President Yoon, in accordance with the safety manual “Safety Principles” ‘.
It is reported that the security agency’s position is that they clamp Rep. Kang’s mouth and pull him out by holding his arms, legs, head, etc. it was not an improvised response, but was an action in accordance with safety principles. Inside the president’s office, there is also an explanation that bodyguards responded similarly when former lawmaker Baek Won-woo shouted at then-president Lee Myung-bak to “sorry” at the funeral of former President Roh Moo-hyun in May 2009. The intention is that this is not an unusual response limited to Representative Kang.
The ruling party provided cover to the president’s office, saying: “Is rudeness a symbol of the left wing of the Republic of Korea?” Yoon Jae-ok, leader of the People Power Party, said today: “Considering the nature of the event where the president went to congratulate Jeonbuk residents on the launch of the Jeonbuk Special Self-Governed Province and talk about his vision for the future development of Jeonbuk, this was an inappropriate action.” He added: “It can only be an intentional action.” “I can’t see it,” he said. The idea is that Representative Kang intentionally created hustle and bustle.
Even Congressman Lee Yong-ho of the People Power Party, who was right next to Congressman Kang at the event the day before, said that day: “Congressman Kang held tightly to the hand that held the president’s hand tightly and did not let go , shouting continuously. “The president was embarrassed for a moment and said, ‘I have to continue greeting you, so please let go of your hands.'” He added: “It can only be seen as a planned provocation against the president to break the party atmosphere and transform it into a place of political propaganda,” he underlined.
●No criticizes “overconfidence” and calls for the formation of a steering committee
The Democratic Party of Korea mounted a strong response, criticizing the incident as “overconfidence” and calling for the National Assembly’s steering committee to clash with the Office of the President. Representative Lee Jae-myung criticized the Supreme Council meeting today, saying: “It seems that the Democratic Republic of Korea is returning to a monarchy.” Supreme Council member Go Min-jung played a video showing Rep. Kang being dragged out during a high-level meeting and said, “Security was activated after President Yoon finished shaking hands (with Rep. Kang) and took a few steps away. “It is false to say that we had no choice but to turn on security,” he said.
Rep. Park Joo-min, secretary of the opposition party in the National Assembly Steering Committee, held a press conference and said, “I officially ask the People Power Party to open the Steering Committee to find out the truth. “If we don’t accept it, the opposition party will have no choice but to open it themselves,” he said. Vice President of the National Assembly Kim Young-joo, a member of the Democratic Party, also issued a statement and stressed: “The excessive use of security authority by the Presidential Security Service is an act of trampling on and ignoring the ‘legislative authority, which is the representative body of the people’.
At a press conference at the National Assembly, Congressman Kang called for an official apology from President Yoon and the dismissal of the Minister of National Security. He argued: “How can powerless citizens be treated when they silence sitting legislators and drag them away like baggage?” and added: “There must be an apology from the president and a reprimand for those responsible.” He then announced that he will soon meet National Assembly Speaker Kim Jin-pyo, who is on tour abroad, and will act at the National Assembly level.
