President Yoon Suk-yeol is expected to exercise his right to request a reconsideration of the “Special Prosecutor Act on Kim Geon-hee” as early as today (26th). Amidst this expectation, Democratic Party Floor Leader Park Chan-dae emphasized, “The only way for President Yoon Suk-yeol and Representative Han Dong-hoon is to accept the ‘Kim Geon-hee Special Prosecutor.'”
In the legislative strategy meeting held today, Park stated, “Hundreds of thousands of citizens are calling for a ‘Kim Geon-hee Special Prosecutor,'” conveying his position.
Park further criticized, “If President Yoon rejects the ‘Kim Geon-hee Special Prosecutor’ again, it will mark the 25th veto in 2 years and 6 months in office. This would rival former President Syngman Rhee’s record of 45 vetoes over his 12-year term, far surpassing the combined total of 21 vetoes by all presidents in the 60 years since Rhee, marking the worst record in history.”
He continued, noting that of the 24 vetoes by President Yoon, five relate to laws concerning himself and Kim Geon-hee, and alleged, “He will go down in history as the worst president, who thoroughly abused the power entrusted by the people for private gain.”
Addressing Han Dong-hoon, the representative of the People Power Party, Park urged that Han should “cooperate cleanly with the ‘Kim Geon-hee Special Prosecutor’ instead of making irrelevant remarks,” warning that if a no vote is cast in the reconsideration, both the People Power Party and the regime will collapse, and Han Dong-hoon will have to take responsibility for the dismantling of conservative forces.
Regarding the not-guilty verdict in the first trial of Democratic Party Leader Lee Jae-myung on charges of false testimony, Park expressed that it was “justice served.”
He further asserted, “From the beginning, it was an unreasonable retaliatory investigation and forced prosecution by the political prosecutors of the Yoon Suk-yeol administration,” and warned, “The relentless political hunt targeting only the opposition parties by the Yoon regime’s political prosecutors will soon come to an end.”
