AI-generated summary
The People Power Party held a second rally in Busan to condemn the ‘Special Prosecution Act on Manipulated Prosecution’. The Democratic Party of Korea refuted the People Power Party's argument that the special prosecutor can cancel indictments in cases related to the president, saying it does not fit with the contents of the bill.
On the 14th, the Democratic Party of Korea criticized the People Power Party for holding a second rally in Busan to condemn the so-called 'Special Prosecution Act on Manipulated Prosecution Act', saying, "They threw away the budget National Assembly and started an off-site struggle to ridicule the President under the pretext of the Special Prosecution Act."
Spokesperson Son Myung-soo said this to the People Power Party in a written briefing, saying, “It seems like they neither know nor want to know the contents of the Special Prosecution Act and only want to turn it into a political fight.”
Spokesperson Son pointed out, “The provision for deciding whether to maintain an indictment, which the People Power Party took issue with, and even the right to request case transfer were deleted (from the Special Prosecutor Act),” adding, “The claim that the special prosecutor can cancel an indictment in a case related to the president does not fit with the content of the bill at all.”
He continued, "This is a special investigation to determine the truth of the suspicion that state agencies, including the prosecution, abused their power and manipulated cases during the investigation and prosecution during the Yoon Seok-yeol regime," and added, "The purpose is to ensure that such abuse of power is not repeated again."
At the same time, he pointed out, "Rather than misleading people into thinking that they have powers that are not even in the bill, the People Power Party should explain in detail to the public what provisions have legal problems," and added, "Just repeating slogans on the street does not create facts that do not exist."
Spokesperson Son added, “The Democratic Party will unwaveringly continue its efforts to protect the rights of the people from abuse of investigative power and to establish the rule of law and judicial justice.”
Meanwhile, floor spokesperson Jeon Eun-soo urged in a written briefing that “the People Power Party must stop inciting election fraud.”
A former floor spokesperson criticized People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk, saying, "When the special prosecutor conducted a search and seizure of the National Election Commission, vote-counting fraud was confirmed," making election rigging a fait accompli and misleading public opinion.
