On October 25, South Korean President Yong Seok-yeol delivered a policy speech in the face of the empty parliamentary venue. The Common Democratic Party, the largest opposition party in South Korea, was collectively absent, and held up placards outside the venue to boycott, which is the first time in South Korea's constitutional history.
KBS TV South Korea said that the absence of the opposition party's speech meeting on policy policies is an extremely rare exception. In this speech, Yoon Seo-yeol's words called for "there cannot be any barriers between the government and the opposition" just proved that "the barriers actually existed", and the situation of the confrontation between the government and the opposition in South Korea has entered a state of anxiety. According to Yonhap News Agency on the 426th, Yoon Seo-yeol made a statement on the collective absence of the opposition party on the same day, saying that this has damaged the practices that have been insisted on in South Korea's constitutional history.
However, the emergence of this "special case" is unexpected and reasonable. Because recently, Yoon Seo-yeo government launched a series of actions on the opposition party and the Democratic Party, which is quite meaningful to catch the party leader Lee Jae-ming and former South Korean President Moon Jae-in in one go. This month, South Korean prosecutors arrested Lee Jae-ming's confidant Kim Yong and raided the institute affiliated with 's joint Democratic Party. Yoon Seo-yeo's government and South Korean prosecutors restarted investigations into the closure of the Yuecheng nuclear power plant, the election fraud case and the repatriation of fishermen, all of which occurred when Moon Jae-in was in office. Related actions will naturally inspire the Communist Party of China to make rebellious actions. But Yoon Seo-hyuk is also not a winner. South Korea's " East Asia Ilbo " said that South Korean politics has fallen into a "coma" state, and it is worrying how to continue the discussion on the 2023 budget review and people's livelihood legislation.
spoke in the empty venue, which is not Yoon Seok-yeol's only embarrassing experience in recent times. The Korean media used the "three misconduct" to summarize Yoon Seok-yeol's recent performance in the diplomatic field. The first time was to attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth in the UK. Because the number of people is limited, South Korean public opinion believes that Yoon Seok-yeol cannot carry out diplomatic activities with his wife, and it should be more appropriate to attend with professional diplomatic personnel. The second time was his "misphorism" during his attendance in New York, USA. Of course, Yoon Seo-young denied that he was talking about the US Congress at that time. But South Korean people may not think so. The survey results of South Korean polling agency Jowon C&I show that 70% of South Korean people believe that Yoon Seo-yeol needs to apologize for his misconduct. Moreover, Yoon Seo-hyuk met with US President Biden and for only 48 seconds, which also made South Korean people quite disappointed with Yoon Seo-hyuk. Japanese media watched the fire from the other side and mentioned in related news reports that the meeting between the leaders of South Korea and the United States was only 48 seconds. The third time was the first meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio . Subtlety is that South Korea said that the two sides were "informal talks", while Japan believed that the two sides were "dialogue", which made South Korea very unhappy.
On September 21, South Korean President Yoon Seok-yeol met briefly with US President Biden
On September 22, several Korean media reported that Yoon Seok-yeol He said to Foreign Minister Park Jin and National Security Office Director Kim Sung-han, who was beside him, "What if those little boys in Congress do not admit it, President Biden will also feel lost on his face?"
Recent surveys by South Korean polling agencies showed that Yoon Seok-yeol's approval rating has dropped to 24%, and the non-support rating has risen to 65%. However, South Korean public opinion analysis pointed out that Yoon Seok-hyuk's support rate has been hovering around 30%. South Korea's local elections just ended in June, and the parliamentary elections were two years later. President Yoon Seok-hyuk still has time.
