Candidates intensify attacks on the special prosecutor law proposed by South Korea
Won Hee-ryong: “What did the Ministry of Justice do during opposition’s special prosecutor attack”
Na Kyung-won: “I think you should do politics a bit longer.”, “In the full-fledged National Power 7·23 National Convention election campaign, the criticism against Han Dong-hoon, former emergency response chief, is escalating.

, ‘Former Minister Won Hee-ryong criticized the Ministry of Justice during the opposition’s special prosecutor campaign at a freshmen’s study group meeting held at the National Assembly member’s building on the 24th, saying, “What did our Ministry of Justice do when the opposition intensified the special prosecutor attack?” This is interpreted as targeting former executive director Han Dong-hoon, who previously served as the first Minister of Justice under the Yoon Suk-yeol government.’,

,
, ‘Former Minister Won stated, “The prosecution has been investigating the Kim Yeosa Deutsche Motors stock manipulation case for the past two years, have they reached a conclusion?” and then questioned, “While the opposition drags it as material for a special prosecutor investigation, what did our Ministry of Justice and our judiciary do for the past two years, and what did the ruling party leadership do?”‘,
,
, ‘He also claimed in relation to the rejection of the arrest warrant for Lee Jae-myung, the former Governor of Gyeonggi Province, by the Democratic Party last year, stating, “The dismissal due to the Democratic Party’s protection is inevitable; rather, let’s indict him without detention, let the courts judge, but even then, pursuing (the arrest warrant) again and being rejected by the courts was critical in the Gangseo District Mayor’s election and affected the general election.”‘,
,
, ‘Seemingly targeting the former executive director who called for the enactment of the special prosecutor law regarding the investigation of high-ranking officials regardless of the investigation by the Anti-Corruption Investigations Office, former Minister Won emphasized, “If every political suspicion leads to a special prosecutor, what purpose would our constitutionally designated primary investigative agencies such as the police, prosecution, and the Anti-Corruption Investigations Office serve?” and stressed, “Nationally, government institutions must function normally in the dimension of judicial justice. There should be no considerations given because someone is a First Lady or a President.”‘,
,
, ‘Expressing criticism against the former executive director who mentioned the special prosecutor law, Representative Na Kyung-won stated, “The Democratic Party’s (promotion of the special prosecutor law for Chae Sang-byeong) shows no interest in uncovering the truth and is intended to lead to the President’s impeachment,” and questioned, “Can changing positions on the special prosecutor based solely on public opinion be justified?”‘,
,
, ‘Representative Na said, “Principally, if the investigation seems strange after the Anti-Corruption Investigations Office investigation is completed, a special prosecutor should naturally be appointed” and remarked, “From now on, if one were to conduct (a special prosecutor investigation) like that, I want to ask, ‘Will you appoint a special prosecutor if the public opinion is high for ‘Han Dong-hoon Special Prosecutor’ proposed by the opposition?'” She further added, “The (ruling party’s promotion of the special prosecutor) is a naïve and innocent thought” and criticized, “I think they need to do politics a bit longer. If you accept this (Chae Sang-byeong special prosecutor), they will keep saying take this, take that from the opposition. Then we will be far from solving the real livelihood problems.”‘,
,
, ‘Through his Facebook page on the same day, Representative Yoon Sang-hyun commented, “The former executive director said that you cannot oppose to Chae Sang-byeong Special Prosecutor Bill’ with the public having doubts, then how should we deal with the ‘Han Dong-hoon Special Prosecutor Bill,’ the 1st bill proposed by the Reform Party. Should we accept the ‘Han Dong-hoon Special Prosecutor Bill’ proposed by the Reform Party due to public distrust.”‘,
