[Field Video] Jang Dong-hyuk Calls Lee's Surprise Cabinet Shake-up a "Left-Wing Hodgepodge"

[Financial News] On the 31st, People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk criticized the previous day's cabinet reshuffle announcement at a Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly, calling it a "cabinet reshuffle that runs counter to the public will."


Jang highlighted that Kim Seung-won, who was nominated as justice minister, was the head of a group calling for the dismissal of President Lee's prosecution case, and said, "No matter how much the public objects, they are determined to put everything into getting the trial canceled."


He said, "They seem to have poured all their energy into choosing the justice minister, because the rest of the ministerial nominees are deeply disappointing," adding, "They plan to appoint the main culprit behind the property tax bomb as minister of economy and finance. They are also putting the architect of Gyeonggi Province's basic housing policy in charge of the land ministry, which means they want to push ahead with a real estate nightmare."
He continued, "They have thrown out the absurd Yong Hye-in card in response to young people's anger. The anger index among people in their 20s and 30s is on the verge of explosion and has already crossed the threshold," and criticized it as "a left-wing hodgepodge, from pro-Moon figures to Cho Kuk, after claiming to be reaching out to the left."
Jang added, "If they want to avoid humiliation at the confirmation hearings, they should withdraw the unqualified nominees now. This should not be a reshuffle aimed at canceling trials, but a full replacement of the presidential office and the cabinet with people who reflect the public will," and said, "If President Lee does not change course, the public will eventually change the president."
