The Democratic Party criticized the main opposition People Power Party's call for a national investigation into the leverage ETF situation, stating, "In the past, when issues arose, evidence was presented to call for a national investigation, but these days it seems like it's just because they disagree with something."


Kim Sung-hwa, the party's floor spokesperson, made these remarks after a policy coordination meeting at the National Assembly. He added, "I believe that conducting national investigations every time a national policy is established is not a solution."


He further stated, "This is an excessive attitude. We should point out any issues in the policy-making process before bringing up the idea of a national investigation."


Earlier, senior spokesperson Kang Jun-hyun expressed that while the issue regarding leverage ETFs is serious, he does not believe it warrants a national investigation as suggested by the People Power Party.


Meanwhile, Park Seong-hoon, the senior spokesperson for the People Power Party, announced on the 1st that they would pursue a national investigation into single-stock leverage ETFs, stating, "We will thoroughly investigate who ignored warnings about the risks and who tried to evade responsibility."
