[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the People Power Party, stated on the 7th that regarding the Democratic Party's push to amend the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Office (PCC) Act, "If the PCC Act is unilaterally passed, this administration will immediately head towards ruin," adding, "The people will not forgive it."

At an emergency party meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Floor Leader Joo said, "Let us once again reflect on the mission given to the main opposition party and definitely block unconstitutional laws, inconsistent laws, laws that give special privileges to certain groups, and laws that hinder the growth of the Republic of Korea," adding, "I will take the lead."

Floor Leader Joo criticized, "The Democratic Party is revealing its true dictatorial nature. They threatened to pass the PCC Act, which is against the constitution and other laws, by the 9th of this month, then passed the May 18-related law in the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, and are committing the outrage of unilaterally submitting the PCC Act for passage," calling it "the destruction of the constitution, the rule of law, and democracy."

He pointed out, "Is it because the investigation into the closure of Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 is tightening? Is it because the Ulsan mayoral election interference case points toward the Blue House? Is it to hide the higher-ups after Kim Kyung-soo, governor of Gyeongsangnam-do involved in the Druking case, was found guilty?" He added, "Not only are they trying to oust Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, but now they are completely trying to create a Gestapo-like PCC by making their own laws."

Floor Leader Joo questioned, "What is President Moon Jae-in afraid of? If power is exercised properly, the post-retirement period is safe. Do they think wrongdoing will be concealed by doing this?" and criticized, "Are all the people of the Republic of Korea fools and pigs?"

He concluded, "The Democratic Party can push anything through with the power of numbers, but we will use all legal means to block it until the end, and if our strength is insufficient, we will appeal to the people and plead to protect the rule of law and democracy."
