People's Power: ”National Assembly Speaker Woo Sik is busy trying to please former Representative Lee Jae Myung... He should apologize for revoking the constitutional amendment” = South Korea
On the 9th, the People's Power Party (ruling party) said, "We will immediately take measures to dismantle the National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik's decision to withdraw his proposal for simultaneous voting on the presidential election and constitutional amendment, which has betrayed the people's wishes."
Shin Dong-Wook, chief spokesman for the People's Power Party, said in a commentary that day, "Chairman Woo has always blatantly taken the side of the Democratic Party and violated the neutrality of the National Assembly Speaker.
Even in the face of the national desire and contemporary challenge of constitutional reform, they were preoccupied with checking the reaction of former Chairman Lee Jae-myung," he said.
"Chairman Woo, who gave in to Lee and his hard-line supporters, will forever be marked as an embarrassment to the public," Shin said.

Distrust has grown. The People's Power will continue to work with civil society and the people to push for constitutional reform without change." Meanwhile, Chairman Woo said through Fei Subook on the same day, "In the current situation, the president
"I have concluded that it has become virtually impossible to hold a simultaneous vote on constitutional amendments and the presidential election," he said, withdrawing his proposal for a simultaneous vote on constitutional amendments and the presidential election three days later.
Prior to this, Chairman Woo held an emergency press conference on the 6th and announced that he would hold a national referendum on constitutional amendment on the same day as the presidential election.
He proposed "simultaneous voting on the presidential election and constitutional amendments," which drew strong opposition from the Democratic Party.
