,
, ‘(Seoul=Yonhap News) Kim Cheol-seon Reporter = The People Power Party on the 30th urged the prosecution to strictly punish the perjury trial scheduled for the Democratic Party’s leader Lee Jae-myung, stating that he is “engaging in a series of lies to cover up his falsehoods.”‘,
,
, ‘ Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho at the Supreme Council stated, “The essence of the election law violation and perjury charges against this leader is a continuous series of lies,” criticizing that “to cover up the pretend prosecutor incident, he made false claims, asked Kim Jin-sung to lie, and now he is lying again that such a thing didn’t happen.”‘,
,
, ‘ Floor leader Choo emphasized, “In short, he is engaging in ‘lying to cover up lies’,” and urged, “Even with lies and retaliation, truth cannot be hidden. We hope that the judiciary will demonstrate that justice is alive.”‘,
,
, ‘ Chief Kim Min-jeon also stressed, “Lying in court can turn an innocent person into a criminal and vice versa, so it is the worst. There must be strict prosecution and judgment in accordance with the law.”‘,
,
, ‘ Chief Kim stated that Kim Yong, former deputy director of the Democratic Research Institute, and other close associates of this leader are lying in court, claiming that “the Democratic Party has been captured by a group of liars. It is unacceptable to impeach a prosecutor and then impeach the president in order to protect a group of liars.”‘,
,
, ‘ Lee, the leader, was indicted on perjury charges for repeatedly calling Kim Jin-sung, who was a former secretary of the late Mayor Kim Byung-ryang in December 2018, and asking him to perjure in a trial for violating the Public Official Election Act related to the prosecutor impersonation case.’,
,
, ‘ The public official election law violation case that the leader was tried for at the time was that the leader publicized false information in 2018 during the Gyeonggi Province Governor’s election TV debate regarding the “prosecutor impersonation” case, stating that he had falsely accused someone, for which he was ultimately acquitted by the Supreme Court in 2020.’,
,
, ‘ The prosecution is scheduled to make its final plea in the leader’s perjury trial later this afternoon.’,
