Jang Dong-hyuk, leader of the People Power Party, criticizes the Democratic Party of Korea's push to pass the special prosecution bill on fabricated indictments and President Lee's remarks on housing prices.
Jang Dong-hyuk, leader of the People Power Party, said in relation to the Democratic Party of Korea's push to pass the so-called 'Special Prosecution Bill on Manipulated Indictments' at the plenary session on the 5th, "If we push too hard on the special prosecution bill to cancel indictments, the people will hold us accountable by canceling the administration."
Representative Jang criticized the bill at the Supreme Committee meeting held at the National Assembly on this day, saying, “It is a bill to save one Lee Jae-myung.”
Regarding the Democratic Party's announcement that it had deleted the so-called cancellation clause in the special prosecution bill, he refuted, "The people already know very well that even without the cancellation clause, there are eight or 20 ways to cancel the prosecution."
Representative Jang also pointed out that in relation to President Lee's recent statement that "actual transaction prices in major regions are falling surprisingly," he said, "The content of his remarks was clear. When all the media and the public criticized this, he criticized all media reports as fake news, saying it was a story about Gangnam's three districts."
At the same time, he said, "He boasts about accomplishments he doesn't have, but then he slips up his words and fights with the media on social media without even trying. In effect, he's fighting with the people."
He added, “Housing prices in Seoul have been rising for 90 consecutive weeks, but they keep quiet about this. However, they boast of a sharp increase in listings, a sharp decline in transactions, and an increase in delinquencies and auctions.” He added, “If this is the case, the president who enjoys the suffering of the people is the devil.”
