People Power Party: "Lee Jae-myung Crime Investigation Just Beginning... All Truths Will Soon Be Revealed"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] On the 7th, the People Power Party raised their voice regarding Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, who is scheduled to appear before the prosecution on the 10th, stating, "Even the most impenetrable shields are nothing but fragile shards of glass in the face of truth."

Jang Dong-hyuk, the party’s floor spokesperson, said in a statement, "The numerous criminal investigations against Leader Lee Jae-myung have only just begun."

Spokesperson Jang criticized, "The close aides, who are a 'political community,' remain firmly silent despite arrests," and added, "The Democratic Party is risking an indefinite shielded National Assembly by rejecting the arrest consent bill and even intimidating the annoying investigating prosecutors with 'personal information exposure bills.'"

He continued, "Even the close aides who seem ready to sacrifice themselves, and the 169 lawmakers who appear united to protect him, will turn their backs the moment they see the slightest crack," and said, "We will closely watch how long that 'confidence' at the first prosecution appearance lasts."

Senior spokesperson Yang Geum-hee cited media reports that private developers involved in the Daejang-dong project also attempted to get involved in the development rights of the Yangjeong Station area in Namyangju, emphasizing, "We cannot dismiss the suspicion that local construction businesses are connected like a spider web to the Moon Jae-in administration and the Democratic Party through Lee Jae-myung."

Senior spokesperson Yang added, "As opinions gain traction that many opposition figures, including current Democratic Party lawmakers and Blue House officials during the Moon Jae-in administration, are implicated in the Daejang-dong allegations, the Daejang-dong gate appears to be escalating into a major scandal that could engulf the entire opposition."

She further stated, "Those who danced the dance of desire intoxicated by money and power must now all face strict legal judgment," and added, "Of course, at the pinnacle of this web of desire is Leader Lee Jae-myung, and soon all these truths will be revealed."

Regarding independent lawmaker Yoon Mi-hyang, who was indicted by the prosecution with a five-year prison sentence request over allegations of embezzlement of donations from the Justice and Memory Foundation (formerly the Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan), Senior spokesperson Yang said, "We hope for a swift judicial decision so that the sorrowful lament of the comfort women survivors and the public’s sense of betrayal can be somewhat alleviated."
