The Democratic Party praised President Lee Jae-myung's briefing on the results of his European trip on June 19, stating that he effectively communicated achievements that enhance national pride.
Senior Spokesperson Kang Jun-hyun remarked, "The Democratic Party will maintain a flexible perspective toward the world and will faithfully implement the follow-up actions and responsibilities stemming from President Lee's achievements. We will do our utmost to lead South Korea into a new era of great advancement alongside the people."
Representative Han Jun-ho, considered a member of the pro-Lee faction, noted, "President Lee created significant outcomes for the future of South Korea during this trip, including the G7 summit. The important thing is that these achievements are communicated to the public and translate into improvements in their lives."
He added, "If the public is unaware or unable to feel these achievements, then they are not complete. This is not solely the government's responsibility but also that of the ruling party to support the administration's governance."
Representative Moon Jin-seok emphasized that the ruling party's responsibility is to address the people's livelihood issues, asserting that the Democratic Party must continue to support the government's governance.
Moon also referenced President Lee's recent comments regarding internal party conflicts, stating, "The Democratic Party is the ruling party. The role entrusted to us by the public is not to engage in conflict and confrontation but to take responsibility for resolving livelihood issues."
In contrast, the People Power Party called for a special investigation rather than constitutional amendments regarding the Election Commission, which President Lee mentioned in his briefing.
Floor Leader Jeong Jeom-sik stated, "What is urgently needed right now is a special investigation rather than constitutional amendments. If President Lee wishes to demonstrate sincerity in uncovering the truth behind the infringement of citizens' voting rights and preventing its recurrence, he should first accept the special investigation into the Election Commission recommended by the opposition party."
Representative Joo Jin-woo also expressed on Facebook, "President Lee suddenly brought up the constitutional amendment regarding the Election Commission. To achieve true reform, we must appoint a special investigator free from Lee Jae-myung's influence to uncover the issues."
