[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seohyun] Regarding the People Power Party's accusation that Park Ji-won, the Director of the National Intelligence Service, is behind the 'prosecutor referral scandal,' Jeong Cheong-rae, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, rebutted by saying, "Is Director Park a time machine driver?"


On the 13th, Jeong posted on his Facebook, "How could Park Ji-won, who took office in July last year, have orchestrated the referral scandal that occurred in April last year?" He pointed out that since the prosecutor referral is presumed to have taken place ahead of the April 15 general election last year, there is no connection with Director Park, who assumed office afterward.


The People Power Party claims that Cho Seong-eun, who reported the prosecutor referral scandal to the media, met with Director Park at a hotel restaurant in Seoul after the report, arguing for Director Park's involvement. Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's campaign filed a complaint with the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials against Cho, Director Park, and an unidentified person for violating the National Intelligence Service Act and the Public Official Election Act.


Jeong said, "In cases like this, it's usually 'cutting off the tail,' but is the People Power Party too cowardly to even cut off a lizard's tail?" He criticized, "Why is Yoon Seok-yeol driving the entire People Power Party, the main body, into a dead end? The People Power Party is heading toward its demise."



He continued, "The People Power Party is digging its own grave, and I will enjoy watching. Good luck with that," mocking, "Try to cover the sky with your palm. Can you cover it? It's quite a spectacle of amateurs." He also added, "The Democratic Party doesn't need to get too worked up either," saying, "They are destined to ruin themselves."
