[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daehyun] The People Power Party continued its offensive against Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, who is under prosecution investigation related to the 'Daejang-dong incident.'

On the 26th, Chief Spokesperson Yang Geum-hee stated in a commentary, "The Democratic Party, which, without any self-reflection or remorse, has only engaged in 'Lee Jae-myung shielding' and whose supreme council members and spokespersons have all acted as 'Deobureo Lies,' can rightly be called not a public party for the people but a 'scam party.'

She added, "A political party that uses livelihood bills, next year's budget, and national tragedies all as tools for the single goal of protecting its party leader cannot be called a democratic party," and asked, "Have they declared themselves not a 'political community' but a community of lies and judicial risk?"

Floor Spokesperson Jang Dong-hyeok commented on Democratic Party lawmaker Jeong Seong-ho referring to Jeong Jin-sang, the director of political coordination in the party leader’s office who was arrested, and former Democratic Research Institute deputy director Kim Yong as Lee’s 'errand runners,' saying, "Whether they are friends, alter egos, or loyal errand runners, they are all 'political communities' alike," and added, "It only becomes clear that the destination of the black money is illegal political funds for Lee and that the core of Daejang-dong is Representative Lee Jae-myung."

He also criticized Supreme Council Member Jang Gyeong-tae of the Democratic Party. Regarding Jang’s claim that First Lady Kim Geon-hee accompanying President Yoon Seok-youl on his Southeast Asia tour and taking photos with children with heart disease in Cambodia was 'poverty porn,' Chief Spokesperson Yang said, "It seems he is seriously addicted to fake news and lies, losing his reason," and added, "If there were an award for the biggest liar among lawmakers at the end of this year, he would be a strong candidate along with party spokesperson Kim Ui-gyeom."
