Ahead of the People's Power Party representative election, the biggest variable has emerged as Na Kyung-won, vice chairman of the Low Birth Rate and Aging Society Committee.

Regarding the actions of Vice Chairman Na, who suggested measures for low birth rates different from the government's stance, the President's office defined it as "self-politics" and even hinted at the possibility of harm.

Prior to the report of the Ministry of Health and Labor and the Ministry of Employment and Labor, President Seok-yeol Yoon brings out the tax story.



[President Seok-Yeol Yoon: Politics, elections, and camps should not be influenced by these things, and people's taxes should be used very effectively...

It was interpreted that the remarks were aimed at Vice Chairman Na Gyeong-won, who issued a loan forgiveness card as a countermeasure against low birth rates.



Three days ago, the Presidential Office, which criticized Vice Chairman Ahn Sang-hoon's policy, became even more incensed when Vice Chairman Na refused to bend his mind, saying, "There is no overcoming low birth rate that can be solved without money."



He said, "Are you going to confront the central government? You have to do it" or "The president's intention is that we should be wary of self-politics that seem to have gone bad."



After posting an explanation on social media, Vice Chairman Na, who canceled official schedules such as special lectures for Jeju party members tomorrow (10th), is said to be contemplating future actions from somewhere.



He arranges a press conference for support of young party members through an aide, and asks a high-ranking official in the presidential office to "resign" the position of vice chairman.



While the president's office or the vice-chairman's policies were criticized and distanced, other ruling party runners jumped into full-scale competition.



Rep. Cheol-soo Ahn officially declared his candidacy, and

If President Yoon Seok-yeol fails, there is no political future for Ahn Cheol-soo.]



Rep. Kim Ki-hyeon held a camp opening ceremony with a large number of pro-Yoon-gye lawmakers in attendance.
