Full-scale Offensive to Pressure Vote on Arrest Consent Bill in the Opposition Camp

The People Power Party pressured the vote on the arrest motion for Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, scheduled to take place at tomorrow's National Assembly plenary session, urging "each member of the National Assembly to cast their vote according to their conscience and conviction."


Park Jeong-ha, chief spokesperson of the People Power Party, said in a statement on the 26th, "We sincerely hope for a wise decision for the sake of the Republic of Korea and the true Democratic Party that has been upheld until now."


He added, "The Democratic Party claims it is a 'free vote' without a party line, but their desperate efforts to control the vote are pathetic," and "They remain silent during the prosecution's investigation but pour out one-sided excuses in front of the cameras as if they are the most wronged victims."


Spokesperson Park said, "It is time to reflect on whether the Democratic Party, which is labeled as 'bulletproof' no matter what it does, deserves to speak about the 'people' and 'livelihoods,' and whether their cries will be perceived as sincere," adding, "The endless suspicions against Leader Lee will continue, and the current situation is bound to repeat itself."

On the same day, Jang Dong-hyeok, floor spokesperson, also issued a statement emphasizing, "Tomorrow is not just about Leader Lee but the fate of the Democratic Party."


He continued, "If the arrest motion is rejected, history will clearly record who was servile before the people and who turned a blind eye to injustice," and criticized, "Do not commit the grave mistake of burying the Democratic Party in history with the hands of the Democratic Party."



The vote on the arrest motion for Leader Lee is scheduled to take place at the National Assembly plenary session tomorrow afternoon, the 27th.
