[Opening the morning] This president must confront himself

Chung Cheong-rae, former leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, was once called the leader of the ‘ruling opposition party.’ The title of the statement issued by the National Innovation Council for Democracy on February 9, when there was controversy over merger with the Fatherland Innovation Party, was ‘The ruling opposition party’s rampage must stop now.’ The criticism was that former leader Jeong was acting like the opposition party rather than the ruling party.
