The first national audit of the Yun Seok-yeol government will begin on the 4th. At the National Inspection Meeting held five months following the inauguration of the government, the ruling party foretold an attack on the situation of the previous Moon Jae-in administration and the opposition party once morest President Yoon’s ‘controversy of profanity’. As the confrontation between the ruling and opposition escalates, there are concerns that the political conflict will end.
Jang Dong-hyeok, spokesperson for the People’s Power, said in a phone call on the 2nd, “We will respond firmly to the opposition’s attacks with fact-checking, while questioning the failure of the Moon Jae-in administration’s policy over the past five years.” “We will prevent the ruling party’s unreasonable or excessive attack on the Moon Jae-in government, and correct allegations of the presidential residence and diplomatic disasters,” said Wik Seong-gon, senior vice floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea.
The first confrontation front is a workshop once morest President Yoon’s profanity controversy and MBC, who first reported it. The opposition party is expected to pour a crossfire on Minister Park Jin at the National Assembly Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee’s inspection of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be held on the 4th. On the other hand, the ruling party is looking for the National Assembly of the Broadcasting Culture Promotion Association, which is the major shareholder of the National Assembly Science, Technology, Information and Broadcasting and Communications Committee to be held on the 13th. On the 14th, MBC’s private business report is also scheduled. The opposition party will criticize President Yoon’s refusal of a proposal for dismissal of Minister Park as an act of ignoring the National Assembly, while repeatedly urging Minister Park’s voluntary resignation and sacking of the diplomatic and security lines. The People’s Power is expected to criticize the Democratic Party’s sole treatment and highlight the fact that the actions of the opposition and MBC are ‘acting for the national interest’. An official from People’s Power said, “If the Democratic Party takes issue with President Yoon’s remarks first, we can’t help but address MBC’s issue.”

A fierce battle over the relocation of the presidential office is also expected. The National Assembly Steering Committee, which is in charge of the Presidential Office, will conduct a National Inspection at the Office of the President of the Secretariat and the Secret Service on the 3rd of next month. The Democratic Party announced on the 30th of last month that the total cost of the relocation of the presidential office to Yongsan would exceed 1 trillion won. In addition, the Democratic Party plans to raise suspicions of private orders related to the relocation of the president’s residence, and suspicions of interference in the interests of Beop Geonjin, an acquaintance of President Yun’s wife, Kim Kun-hee. An official from the Democratic Party said, “Including the budget, which cannot be discussed for national security, the total cost is expected to exceed 1.5 trillion won.” did.
Another point of confrontation is the “judicial risk” of Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung, who is under investigation by the prosecution. In the National Assembly’s Legislative and Judiciary Committee, it seems that the ruling party will discuss the issue of CEO Lee Jae-myung related to the ‘Seongnam FC suspicion’, and the opposition party will exchange disputes over the ‘Deutsche Motors stock price manipulation’ with Mrs. Kim. After the Constitutional Court’s public pleading over the power dispute over the ‘completely deprived of the prosecution’s investigative powers’, the Democratic Party filed a complaint once morest Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon.
After President Yoon’s profanity controversy, the strong confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties is expected to continue throughout the National Assembly. Shin Yul, a professor of political science and diplomacy at Myongji University, pointed out, “The ruling party was able to take the lead in state affairs because it was a national audit conducted five months following the inauguration of the government, but as President Yoon’s remarks were raised, a favorable situation unfolded for the opposition.”
