View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, has requested an apology from the Democratic Party of Korea regarding remarks related to real estate speculation.
On the 9th, Ahn stated on Facebook, "If today’s absurd remarks by the Democratic Party were not intentional, I demand an immediate apology and correction."
Earlier that morning at the Democratic Party’s Supreme Council meeting, Floor Leader Yoon Ho-jung said, "Today, all other opposition parties are requesting a full investigation from the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission," adding, "Only the People Power Party and the People’s Party have not yet responded, so I urge these two parties to make a prompt decision."
In response, Ahn emphasized, "This is a clear misstatement made without proper understanding of the facts," and added, "Members of the People’s Party already submitted consent forms for personal information provision to the Speaker of the National Assembly on March 17th, along with members of other non-negotiating parties, requesting a full investigation into speculation, which was also reported by the media."

Ahn also said, "This afternoon, the People’s Party will submit personal information consent forms to the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission together with the four non-negotiating parties and request a full investigation," and stated, "The People’s Party is not only a clean party without any blemish regarding real estate corruption, but also holds a firm belief that antisocial real estate speculation, especially speculation involving the political and public service sectors, must be eradicated."
