[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Regarding the rejection of the arrest warrant for former Busan Mayor Oh Keo-don, the People Power Party criticized it as "completely incomprehensible."

On the 18th, Bae Jun-young, spokesperson for the People Power Party, stated in a commentary, "If the court had looked from the perspective of the victim rather than the perpetrator, and had considered the seriousness and gravity of the Oh former mayor incident, issuing the warrant would have been a natural step."

He pointed out, "It has already been eight months since former Mayor Oh himself confessed the criminal facts to the public, and with additional allegations of sexual harassment and false accusation, the arrest warrant was dismissed on the grounds that there was no risk of evidence destruction or flight and that he cooperated sincerely with the investigation. However, former Mayor Oh's crimes can neither be erased nor should they be erased."

Spokesperson Bae criticized, "The Busan by-election on April 7 next year is being held because of former Busan Mayor Oh Keo-don's sexual crimes," adding, "The Democratic Party's absurd claim of 'fielding a candidate to be judged' is, to borrow the victim's words, a 'disgusting' behavior."
