[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Former lawmaker Na Kyung-won, who is running for the leadership of the People Power Party, said on the 10th, "The High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Agency (Gong-su-cheo) has reportedly started an investigation into former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol," adding, "The new dictatorship plan has begun again."


In a statement released that day, former lawmaker Na said, "The Moon Jae-in administration has fully embarked on 'killing Yoon Seok-yeol,'" and added, "The Gong-su-cheo, which I and our party tried to stop with all our might, has now begun to thoroughly carry out its special mission of 'opposition suppression.'


She continued, "Because we anticipated this terrible situation, we had to risk everything to stop the Gong-su-cheo," and pointed out, "This is an intolerable political retaliation. It is a glimpse of the Democratic Party's scheme to bring down all the leading opposition figures and aim for long-term rule."



She said there must be resistance against the abuse of power by the Gong-su-cheo, and that the People Power Party must take the lead. Former lawmaker Na stated, "The people are once again waiting for the determination of the main opposition party."
