김민석, 이석연 겨냥 “대통령 탈당 요구는 헌법에 대한 무지”

Kim Min-seok, the Daejeon Democratic Party representative, denounced on the 20th the recent calls for complete separation from the party or leaving office within a year of assuming the presidency, deeming them as ignorance of the constitution and misunderstanding. This came after the president's direct liaison with national unification, Miss Isuk Yeon, appeared on television on the 18th, proposing her candidacy for the presidency of the Democratic Party, stating that to become "President for All People," one must leave the political boundary of a single party.

The representative addressed her during the parliamentary plenary session held in the afternoon, criticizing the "responsibility politics principle" and declaring her opposition to the logic that the party's position statement could not be accepted and was historically incorrect. She also added that the party needs to review and possibly amend the constitution and party rules to strengthen the relationship between the party and the president.
