[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] The Democratic Party of Korea filed a complaint with the National Assembly Ethics Committee on the 21st against People Power Party lawmakers Kim Woong and Jeong Jeomsik, who are linked to the ‘accusation manipulation suspicion’.

The Democratic Party’s Task Force (TF) for the Investigation of the Accusation Manipulation Scandal submitted the disciplinary proposal to the National Assembly Secretariat’s Legislative Affairs Office in the main building that afternoon.

In the disciplinary proposal, the TF stated, “The accusation manipulation case during former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol’s tenure is a serious national disgrace crime involving the privatization and abuse of prosecutorial power,” adding, “Both individuals were actively involved, and concealing this fact severely damages the honor and dignity of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea, raising doubts about their qualifications and ethical awareness as lawmakers.”

Park Jumin, the head of the TF, pointed out, “Lawmaker Kim is practically a leading figure and has consistently responded with false explanations until recently,” adding, “This damages the dignity of a lawmaker and violates the obligations they must uphold.”

Regarding Lawmaker Jeong, he said, “After becoming a lawmaker, he actually received the accusation documents from the prosecution, and similarly, disciplinary action is requested due to violations of related laws and the duties of a lawmaker.”

Min Byeongdeok, a member of the TF, also added, “The People Power Party has the answers internally. Because they are not resolving it within the party, we have no choice but to take such measures.”
