Taeyoungho "Constitutional Court's Political Decision... Why Should Yoon and Han Apologize?"

Taeyoungho, a Supreme Council Member of the People Power Party, strongly criticized the Constitutional Court's ruling on the validity of the 'Geomsu Wanbak (Complete Removal of Prosecutorial Investigation Authority) Law,' calling it "a political decision rather than a decision by the Constitutional Court."

On the 24th, Taeyoungho said on 'SBS Kim Taehyun's Political Show,' "It was a decision that undermined the public's trust in the judicial system," and raised his voice, saying, "They acknowledged that the right to deliberate and vote was infringed, but the bill is valid. What on earth does that mean?"

He said, "When making a law, why specify the procedure for making that law and then demand that the procedure be followed? No matter how good a bill is, if there are various problems in the process of making that bill, we should question the bill itself," adding, "First, there was the so-called 'trick resignation,' then this was immediately referred back through the discussion process, and such processes kept repeating. If the Constitutional Court does not promptly address these issues, it will continue to give a free pass to such parliamentary outrages."

In the opposition camp, demands have been made for President Yoon Seok-yeol's apology and Minister Han Dong-hoon's immediate resignation over the recognition of the validity of the Geomsu Wanbak Law. Regarding this, Taeyoungho said, "Why should the president apologize and Minister Han Dong-hoon resign over this process?" and added, "The Democratic Party politicizing this again based on the Constitutional Court's decision should not happen."
