With "'Ssangteukgeom Pat' political conflict postponed... Democratic Party and Justice Party discuss countermeasures for Jeonse fraud special law"

Yoon Jae-ok "Opposition Clings to Unnecessary Political Strife"
Park Dae-chul "Three Parties Will Gather to Reach a Meaningful Conclusion"

The People Power Party proposed to the opposition parties to stop political strife and urgently discuss livelihood bills to support ordinary citizens who have suffered from jeonse fraud.

On the 21st, Yoon Jae-ok, floor leader of the People Power Party, said at a floor strategy meeting held at the National Assembly, "The Democratic Party of Korea and the Justice Party say they will jointly push for the so-called 'dual special prosecutor fast-track,'" adding, "It is heartbreaking to see them persist in unnecessary political strife while ignoring the desperate situation where the lives of ordinary people are collapsing."

Yoon emphasized, "Three victims of jeonse fraud have already taken extreme measures, and similar incidents are continuing across the country," adding, "It is a situation where legislative support is urgently needed to help victims recover and prevent the spread of the situation."

He continued, "Still, I want to ask if they really think that pushing the dual special prosecutor fast-track, which will become a black hole of political strife, is more urgent than livelihood bills that concern the lives of ordinary people," and said, "The public is raising doubts about the Democratic Party’s actions, questioning whether this special prosecutor is being pushed as a shield to cover up investigations into the party leader and the money envelopes at the party convention."

The Democratic Party and the Justice Party have announced plans to designate the Daejang-dong 5 billion club and Kim Geon-hee special prosecutor bills as fast-track and forcibly process them by direct referral to the plenary session.

He warned, "If even the Justice Party, which claims to stand for the underprivileged, ignores the desperate ordinary people and joins the Democratic Party’s shield-like political strife, the public will not tolerate it."

Park Dae-chul, chairman of the Policy Committee, also expressed concern that "jeonse fraud loans are going beyond normal circumstances." Park said, "This is exactly why politics, the National Assembly, and the government exist," adding, "When the public faces extraordinary suffering, special measures must be devised and implemented."

He added, "The special law on public purchase advocated by the opposition has no practical benefit and only increases the burden on the public," and stated, "The People Power Party will work with the opposition to consider a special law that minimizes side effects while maximizing compensation for victims."

Park also said that he would reach a meaningful conclusion through a meeting scheduled at 10 a.m. that day with the policy committee chairs of the three parties. He plans to discuss measures to address jeonse fraud damages, focusing on bills submitted to the National Assembly together with Kim Min-seok, policy committee chair of the Democratic Party, and Kim Yong-shin, policy committee chair of the Justice Party.
