Regarding the report that the People Power Party leadership is considering ways to delay the launch of the Nomination Management Committee to prevent the passage of a special investigation by First Lady Kim Kun-hee, former leader Lee Jun-seok criticized, saying, “Are they not even concerned about the election?” In response, the People Power Party began to refute, saying, “The formation of the diplomatic committee is proceeding as originally planned.”
Previously, one media outlet reported that Representative Kim Ki-hyun was considering a plan to postpone the formation of the diplomatic committee from the middle of this month to the end of this month after a private lunch meeting with President Yoon Seok-yeol on the 5th. The media added that President Yoon is said to have repeatedly mentioned the ‘Special Prosecution of Kim Kun-hee’ at the meeting.
In response to this, former representative Lee criticized on Facebook on the 10th, saying, “Reports are continuing as if the president had made a special request to the party leadership to prevent defections in the handling of the special prosecution law against Mrs. did.
He continued, “The president’s request is inappropriate. “The official position so far regarding the various allegations against Mrs. Kim is that ‘there is no problem,’” he said. “In that case, getting a special prosecutor that about 70% of the public opinion wants and proving the Democratic Party’s wrongdoing will be a big tool for turning around the government.” He emphasized.
At the same time, he asked, “Why do you create the contradiction that the president, whose motto is fairness and common sense, with a record of being a star prosecutor who conducted investigations without regard to the administration, consulted with the party leadership about blocking the special investigation of the first lady?”
Former Representative Lee said, “An investigation was conducted into some of the suspicions against Ms. Kim, and she was actually cleared of the charges,” and “If the results of the prosecution’s investigation and the special prosecutor’s investigation cannot be different, the special prosecutor should be accepted, and there is no need to wait until the 28th. You have to bring it in. “Only then can we shake off these suspicions more quickly ahead of the general election,” he said, raising his voice.
In relation to this, Chief Spokesperson Park Jeong-ha said in a notice that day, “We would like to inform you that some reports that the formation of the diplomatic committee will be delayed due to the special prosecution law and other internal situations are not true.” He added, “The formation of the diplomatic committee is proceeding as originally planned.”
