On the 16th, the opposition party poured out their voices of criticism over the fact that a graduate who protested the reduction of the research and development budget was forcibly kicked out by the security office during President Yoon Seok-yeol’s commencement speech at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). The graduate in question is Shin Min-ki, spokesperson for the Daejeon City Party of the Green Justice Party.
Seo Yong-joo, a full-time deputy spokesperson for the Democratic Party, said in a briefing that day, “Last January, they blocked the mouth of Kang Sung-hee, a member of the Progressive Party National Assembly who called for a change in the national administration, and dragged him out with all his limbs, and then they dragged out a student who attended the graduation ceremony and kicked him out.” He pointed out, “Couldn’t even bear the shouting of the sign even for a moment?”
Deputy Spokesperson Seo asked, “Is violently pulling out people who criticize the President the simple communication that President Yoon Seok-yeol speaks of? Is it democracy that silences the sovereign and throws away his limbs?”
He continued, “It is clear that President Yoon has decided to become a ‘muzzling’ president who silences the people,” and added, “President Yoon silenced the voices of the scientific community about cutting the R&D budget and drove them out. What a heartless president. “It is,” he criticized.
Kim Jun-woo, standing representative of the Green Justice Party, also said on social media, “The behavior of President Yoon Seok-yeol’s office, which even responds to citizens’ freedom of political expression with violent arrests, will be recorded as a scene of democratic regression,” and “The immediate release of Spokesperson Shin Min-ki and the detention of the Presidential Security Office are necessary.” “We demand an apology and prevention of recurrence,” he emphasized.
Hong Hee-jin, spokesperson for the Progressive Party, said in a commentary, “He pulled out Congressman Kang from the Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province inauguration ceremony, and now he is pulling out a graduate from the KAIST graduation ceremony.” He added, “President Yoon is treating all citizens who have opposing opinions to him as someone who can be pulled out. “He pointed out.
Yong Hye-in, chairman of the Standing Election Committee of the New Progressive Alliance, also said on social media, “This is a government that does not know how to fear the people. If the president is not afraid of the people and does not protect them, and only uses the power given to him by the people to protect his own position, then that is not true.” “It is truly a destruction of the democratic constitutional order,” he criticized.
