Lee again opposes ending live broadcasts of Cabinet meetings

President Lee Jae Myung reiterated on Sunday his stance against concluding live broadcasts of Cabinet meetings, expressing openness to the exchanges that take place during these sessions. His comments followed a recent post on his social media platform X, where he expressed disagreement with the necessity to halt the transmissions, dismissing a recent report alleging Cabinet members pushed for their cessation as a "false claim."

President Lee found it hard to comprehend why those advocating for the end of live broadcasts were pushing for the concealment of part of the Cabinet meetings, particularly when they falsely claimed that Cabinet members could not voice their opinions due to the public nature of the meetings.

He shared a YouTube video opposing such calls, detailing instances where he welcomed opposing opinions from Cabinet members during the meetings. Lee also mentioned his intention to increase the number of participants to encourage a wider range of opinions on state affairs. He emphasized his appreciation for debates and respect for those who propose opposing views, stating that he has always highlighted the importance of people with contrasting perspectives in preventing issues within an organization.
