Ahead of the first national audit since the inauguration of the Yun Seok-yeol government, the hopes of the people were unpretentious. He asked them to show that they were at least concerned regarding the safety of the people at a time when the economic crisis caused by soaring interest rates and a sharp rise in the exchange rate was added to the security crisis threatening North Korea’s seventh nuclear test beyond ballistic missiles. But when I opened the lid, nothing had changed. Yesterday, the first day of the National Assembly, the National Assembly Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee showed lameness following the opposition parties confronted over whether to reproduce the so-called ‘profanity’ controversial video during President Yoon Seok-yeol’s US tour. Earlier, lawmakers from the Democratic Party of Korea called for the resignation of Minister Park, who was present while discussing the proposal for the dismissal of Foreign Minister Park Jin.
The Legislative and Judiciary Committee, where the Board of Audit and Inspection requested a written investigation into former President Moon Jae-in in relation to the shooting of a North Korean official in the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, was also disappointing. The Judiciary Committee was delayed for nearly an hour due to the picket protests of the Democratic Party in protest once morest the investigation of former President Moon and the picket protests in response to the power of the people. Even following the resumption of the National Assembly, the ruling and opposition parties continued a nerve war that no one would pay attention to, and wasted time wasted following a nerve war with no income.
The problem is that the people’s worries are only the beginning. If the politicians do not change their consciousness, the same ‘dejab national inspection’ as yesterday will continue until the last day. There are a lot of lame factors blocking the ‘normal public opinion’, such as the Moon Jae-in government’s nuclear phase-out policy, solar power project, controversy over the cost of relocating the presidential office, and judicial risk of Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung. I hope the politicians put their hands on their chests to see who they are raising their voices towards in the National Inspection. There is no future in a country where the people worry regarding politics.
