A spokesman for the Party of Justice held a news conference on Jan. 13 at which it said that every word of the chief executive's "talk to the people" was the height of irresponsibility and self-justification.

What she uttered once again confirmed that the present social crisis and confusion can hardly be put under control as long as the chief executive remains in office, he noted.

Politicians of other opposition parties said the chief executive's interpretation of overall crisis in economy, people's living, politics is very deplorable and she is still blaming others only, adding that they would not agree with clearing bills against the people's living and other unpopular bills.

South Korean media such as Oh My News and Newsis chided the chief executive's talk for disclosing her will to stand in confrontation with the people.
