In response to People's Power lawmaker Na Kyung-wan's statement that ”supporters of the Democratic Party of Korea have surrounded the National Assembly,” Democratic Party lawmaker Kang Sun-woo said, ”This is backward politics that blames the people.” (South Korea)

On the 20th, Kang Sun-woo, a lawmaker from the Democratic Party, said to Na Kyung-won, a lawmaker from the People's Power Party, "Stop this frivolous politics, this shallow calculation that can't even be called politics."
On the 20th, Rep. Kang wrote on her blog, "(Rep. Luo) claimed that the reason why the People Power Party did not participate in the vote to lift martial law was because of the supporters of the Democratic Party. What kind of politics is the most backward in the world?
"Do you understand? This is politics that blames the people," he said. Rep. Kang said, "We may be perverse, but we should be honest with our words. Even though we are nominally former judges, we are not even capable of making such judgments.
"The unconstitutional and illegal martial law of President Yoon Seok-yeol, the mastermind behind the civil war, would have instantly sunk Korean democracy, which took root with bloodshed, into a quagmire," he said.
He added, "Is it because of the supporters of the Democratic Party that they finally came up with this idea because they were criticized for not participating in the vote? They should not use sophistry or have a minimum of sincerity so that they can be questioned logically.
I want you to hold on to it a little longer," Rep. Kang said, "If you can't do that, please don't do anything. If my colleagues in the Civil War Supporters Party start to associate with Myung Tae-gyun, things will get noisy again.
Prior to this, during a questioning session on pending issues for the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprises, Rep. Na stated, "On the day of the declaration of emergency law on the 3rd, some members of the People's Power Party tried to enter the National Assembly.
However, he received harsh words from Democratic Party supporters and returned to the party headquarters," he said, sparking controversy. After the meeting, Rep. Na also posted on Facebook, "The majority of People Power lawmakers have withdrawn.
The reason why he was unable to participate in the resolution to remove the spies was because the National Assembly was under control, but also because he was subjected to violent abuse and terrorism threats from people who were considered to be hardline supporters of the Democratic Party of Korea when they entered the National Assembly during the martial law period.
"There were circumstances that made it impossible to approach them at all," he continued. "Just because we didn't participate in the National Assembly resolution calling for the lifting of the ban doesn't mean we didn't have the intention to do so.
"Even at this very moment, they are continuing their excessive inflammatory politics by concealing the truth and labeling people as 'accomplices to civil war' and 'supporters of martial law.'"
