“We need to stop misleading the people”... Criticism of national power's 'off-site fight by special prosecutor in fabricated indictment'

On the 7th, the Democratic Party of Korea criticized the People Power Party's participation in an off-site protest against the 'Special Prosecution Act on Manipulated Prosecutions', asking, "What on earth are they taking to the streets for?"

Spokesperson Son Myeong-soo said in a comment that day, "If the state's investigative and indicting powers were abused for political purposes, this would shake the foundation of the rule of law. The truth must be clearly revealed through the special prosecutor's investigation and such incidents must be prevented from happening again."

Spokesperson Son also announced that the clause related to the special prosecutor's right to decide whether to maintain the indictment, which the People Power Party had taken issue with, was deleted, and pointed out, "However, the People Power Party is pushing this as 'saving the president' and is even going as far as to engage in an off-site struggle."

He then asked the People's Power Party, "Does this mean that you are opposed to finding the truth about allegations of abuse of prosecutorial power, or does it mean that you do not want to reveal whether state power was abused for political purposes?" and urged, "It should immediately stop misleading the public with political battles while ignoring the essence of the special prosecution, which seeks to uncover the truth of wrongful abuse of power."
