The Democratic Party criticized the People Power Party for focusing on partisan conflict rather than resolving the situation, as the party continued its offensive over the shortage of ballot papers that occurred in the June 3 local elections.
In a commentary on the 6th, Democratic Party spokesperson Jeon Sumi described the matter as a serious issue that undermined the foundation of democracy, while stating that the party and the government are leaving open the possibility of uncovering the truth and responding quickly. She then pointed out that the People Power Party is focusing on political attacks rather than solving the problem.
Spokesperson Jeon also mentioned remarks by People Power Party leader Jang Donghyeok, protests related to the votecounting center in Jamsil, Seoul, and references to Seoul Mayor Oh Sehoon's responsibility, urging that the issue should be handled within the National Assembly by cooperating with institutional procedures such as the formation of standing committees and a parliamentary inquiry.
