Opposition Lawmaker Calls KOSDAQ Drop 'Livelihood Scorecard' for Lee Administration

Ahn Cheol-soo, a lawmaker from the People Power Party, has sharply criticized the current administration's economic policies, pointing to the recent decline of the KOSDAQ stock index as evidence of its failure. Ahn declared on July 10 that the KOSDAQ's fall below 700 points is the "real livelihood performance" of the Lee Jae-myung administration, a statement laden with criticism.

"The KOSDAQ's fall below 800 points saw securities firms ruthlessly liquidate 'debt trading' accounts, known as forced liquidation," Ahn wrote on Facebook. He argued that this forced liquidation, where investors' assets are sold off to cover margin calls, directly impacts ordinary citizens and reflects a broader economic distress.

Ahn further warned that if the administration continues on its current trajectory, it could face a similar outcome to the struggling stock market. "If it continues like this, the Lee Jae-myung administration will eventually be liquidated by the public through a sell-off," he stated, drawing a stark parallel between the market's performance and the government's political standing. The lawmaker's remarks highlight the growing political pressure on the administration regarding economic management.
