[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former Liberty Korea Party floor leader Na Kyung-won criticized the Democratic Party on the 13th, saying, “I ask the Democratic Party, which is forcing and bullying me and Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl to be investigated like former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk,” and added, “Did Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl and I live like the Cho family? Do you even have a conscience or not?”

On the same day, former floor leader Na wrote on Facebook, “I clearly warn the Democratic Party, especially lawmakers Kim Jong-min and Shin Dong-geun,” and said, “You will surely be held accountable in the future for the cruel witch hunt you are conducting now. You will never escape that severe judgment.”

He pointed out, “Is there any charge that I forged a certificate of commendation? Was the research poster submitted by my child ever canceled at a conference? Did my child unfairly appear as the first author?” and added, “This is not the end. Did my child fail at school due to lack of ability? Is there any suspicion that my child received an emperor scholarship through connections? Did my child use a false internship certificate for admission?”

He continued, “Did my family and I play money games with private equity funds? Is there any charge that my family took bribes and committed hiring irregularities? Is my family suspected of a shocking sham divorce? Am I under suspicion of covering up power-type corruption investigations?” and added, “All of this is a petty revenge for my fight against the Moon Jae-in administration’s tyranny last year as the opposition floor leader and for bringing down Cho Kuk together with the people.”

Former floor leader Na said, “This administration will surely write a baseless indictment led by the ‘Choo Mi-ae prosecution.’ It is an administration driven by revenge to completely cut off my political life and to nip Prosecutor General Yoon’s political activities in the bud,” and added, “I will never yield in order to correct a world where justice and injustice are reversed.”
