Kim Jun-hyung, the floor leader of the Justice Innovation Party, emphasized on September 27 that there has been a warning from the public against division and divisive tactics, urging cooperation among ruling parties in terms of people's livelihoods and reforms.
During a press briefing held at the National Assembly, Kim stated, "Democratic, progressive, and reformist forces must stop the division and divisive politics and work together to firmly protect people's livelihoods and reforms," reflecting the public sentiment during Chuseok.
He expressed concern over the internal divisions within the ruling party and the politics of splitting the coalition that fought together for a change in government, saying, "The expectation for a government of popular sovereignty has not disappeared; rather, there is a greater desire for it to succeed, which makes the current situation more worrisome."
Kim added, "Even in competition, there is a clear demand for greater cooperation for the sake of people's livelihoods and reforms. We will cooperate significantly on matters that require collaboration. However, we will clearly issue warnings when the principles of reform are shaken."
On this day, Kim also raised a 'warning' regarding the reform of the criminal justice system, which separates investigation and prosecution, specifically addressing the nomination of Kim Ji-yong as the first head of the Serious Crimes Investigation Agency. He pointed out Kim's background in the prosecution, stating, "He should withdraw his nomination or resign. True reform requires a proper change in the prosecution's authority, personnel, and organizational culture."
Regarding the economy, Kim noted that while economic indicators are improving, people are not feeling substantial changes in their daily lives, attributing this to labor and asset inequality in society. He remarked, "The fruits of growth remain at the top, while the burdens increasingly fall on those below," adding, "What the public is waiting for is not a recovery in statistics, but a recovery in their lives."
On the topics of farmland surveys and real estate and financial policies, he stated, "When announced policies are easily modified and supplementary measures come only after problems arise, the public feels anxious. The demand from the field is to thoroughly examine and properly create policies that directly affect people's livelihoods and assets from the outset."
