'Yoon Seok-yeol and Kim Geon-hee' Mentioned 48 Times by Park Hong-geun: "Special Prosecutor is a Must"

"Kim Gun-hee Stock Manipulation Allegations, 'National Special Prosecutor' Enforced"
"The Problem is President Yoon Seok-yeol"
"Livelihood, Economy, Diplomacy, Security, Safety, Personnel... 5 Major Disasters"

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] The Democratic Party of Korea has officially announced the push for a special prosecutor investigation into the stock manipulation allegations involving Kim Gun-hee, wife of President Yoon Seok-yeol, related to Deutsche Motors. Although the Justice Party is cautious about the 'Kim Gun-hee special prosecutor,' it is interpreted that the Democratic Party has shown a strong determination to ensure the enactment of a 'double special prosecutor' system in this National Assembly session, alongside the 'Daejang-dong 5 billion Club special prosecutor.'

On the 13th, Park Hong-geun, the floor leader of the Democratic Party, pointed out the Yoon administration's mismanagement and the collapse of judicial justice during his speech as the representative of the negotiating groups in the National Assembly, mentioning President Yoon Seok-yeol and Kim Gun-hee 39 and 9 times respectively. Out of nearly 10,000 characters in the speech, the names of the presidential couple appeared a total of 48 times.

Park particularly criticized the prosecution's investigation of Representative Lee Jae-myung and Kim Gun-hee as biased, stating, "The Democratic Party will definitely push through a 'national special prosecutor' regarding Kim Gun-hee's stock manipulation allegations according to the will of the people." He added, "While the prosecution spares no effort in investigating opposition parties and suppressing political rivals, it shrinks only in front of Kim Gun-hee. The opposition leader's cases, even those with 'no indictment' decisions, are reopened, but the prosecution consistently ignores new evidence regarding Kim Gun-hee's stock manipulation allegations."

Regarding Representative Lee Jae-myung, the prosecution has summoned him three times this year alone concerning the Seongnam FC sponsorship fund allegations and the Wirye and Daejang-dong development preferential treatment suspicions, with an arrest warrant request expected. However, the investigation into Kim Gun-hee is described as being focused on 'light punishments' and 'self-exoneration.'

In Park's speech that day, the name 'Lee Jae-myung' was not mentioned even once, but he directly criticized the Yoon administration's 'fairness and common sense' by pointing out the oppression of the opposition party.

Park stated, "The prosecution, judiciary, and the presidential office have become a trinity to 'save Kim Gun-hee,'" and questioned, "Does the non-prosecution privilege also apply to Kim Gun-hee?" The president is constitutionally guaranteed non-prosecution privilege during the term of office. Park emphasized, "Who exactly is the president?" and "We must restore the collapsed judicial justice through an investigation without sacred cows." He added, "The only remaining path is a special prosecutor," and said, "The Yoon Seok-yeol prosecution, which has denied the spirit of Article 11 of the Constitution that 'all citizens are equal before the law,' is no longer qualified. The public overwhelmingly supports the introduction of a special prosecutor for Kim Gun-hee."

Regarding the Yoon administration, Park criticized it for causing 'five major disasters' in areas including livelihood and economy, diplomacy, security, safety, and personnel, stating, "The problem is President Yoon Seok-yeol." He urged, "The president must change," and emphasized, "He must abandon non-communication and arrogance and pursue communication and harmony. Politics should be practiced, not unilateral domination."

Park called for 'cooperation' with the opposition and urged the passage of the Democratic Party's proposed '30 trillion won emergency livelihood project' and '7.2 trillion won energy price support fund' to resolve livelihood and economic issues. Additionally, ahead of next year's general election, he proposed amendments to the National Assembly Act for 'electoral system reform,' the establishment of a permanent Budget and Accounts Special Committee for parliamentary advancement, and mentioned further legislation such as the introduction of a windfall tax, amendments to the Grain Management Act, the Small and Medium Enterprise Cooperative Act, and the Online Platform Act.
