장동혁, 김승원·용혜인·이형일·홍지선 콕 집어 “부적격 인사 철회해야”

Nationalist Party leader Jeong Dong-hyuk highlighted four candidates for potential removal from the government after President Yoon Suk-yeol's recent cabinet reshuffle. These individuals include Kim Seung-won, the candidate for Ministry of Justice; Lee Hyeon-il, candidate for Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Finance; Hong Je-seon, candidate for Minister of Tourism and Transportation; and Eung Hee-in, candidate for Minister of Gender Equality and Family.

Jeong Dong-hyuk argued that the government must immediately remove these "unsuitable nominees" to avoid a parliamentary inquiry that could tarnish its reputation. He accused Kim Seung-won of being a "candidate who withdrew his candidacy," implying that he intends to resign regardless of public opposition. He labeled Lee Hyeon-il as the "culprit behind the housing tax bomb," and Hong Je-seon as the "designer of President Yoon's basic housing policies," expressing concern over the continuation of his "housing disaster policy."

Eung Hee-in was criticized for her support of President Yoon's "2030 anger index," which has reportedly reached a critical point. Jeong Dong-hyuk accused her of "leftist tendencies" and aligning with the Democratic Party, creating a "Socialist Gomorrah." He emphasized that the inquiry would focus on verifying each nominee's qualifications, stating that "resigning is not the goal; replacing the presidential office and cabinet with individuals who align with the public's will is essential."

The acting chairman of Jeong Dong-hyuk's party stated that President Yoon's decision to reshuffle the cabinet demonstrates his rejection of the public's demands for reform. He accused the president of prioritizing maintaining his support base over improving the lives of ordinary citizens. The party also expressed concern over the potential appointments of leftist allies, stating that it aims to create a coalition of progressive groups to counteract this shift.
