Jung Jeom-sik, the floor leader of the People Power Party, criticized the Democratic Party on July 14, stating, "Do not deceive the public into thinking that negotiations between the ruling and opposition parties exist through threats or meaningless delays."
During a floor strategy meeting held at the National Assembly, Jung remarked, "If you need to take all 18 standing committees to feel satisfied, then take them all."
He added, "Instead, if the first party in the National Assembly wants to take all 18 committees, they should unilaterally amend the National Assembly Act to do so. Then, the People Power Party will also participate in the committees in the future," he sarcastically suggested.
The meeting also included calls for the opposition to recommend a special investigation related to the infringement of voting rights in the 6-3 case. Jung emphasized, "Almost all special investigations have been appointed through recommendations from parties in the National Assembly since the special investigation into the Naegok-dong residence in 2012. We must conduct a thorough investigation into the Central Election Management Commission and the Democratic Party cartel through a special investigation recommended by the opposition rather than relying on mechanical neutrality from third-party recommendations."
Kim Seung-soo, the deputy floor leader, stated, "The principle is that the special investigation should be recommended by the opposition to ensure it is conducted neutrally, free from the influence of the living government and ruling party. To leave no doubts, we must uncover the truth without any sacred cows through a special investigation recommended by the opposition."
Meanwhile, Jung urged the Democratic Party to quickly recommend a candidate for the special inspector during both the previous Supreme Council meeting and the current floor strategy meeting. He said, "The Blue House has requested this three times, but the Democratic Party has ignored it. I hope they will stop the politics of deception and immediately recommend a candidate for the special inspector that belongs to the Democratic Party."
