With "Kim Eun-kyung-led Democratic Party Innovation Committee is bulletproof... Lee Jae-myung avatar"

"Democratic Party Leadership Disqualified"

The People Power Party criticized Professor Kim Eun-kyung of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Law School, who was appointed as the Innovation Committee Chair of the Democratic Party, for stating in a media interview that the Democratic Party's party convention money envelope scandal "(might have been) fabricated by the prosecution," saying that she "gave a pardon to criminals."

Senior Spokesperson Yoo Sang-beom issued a statement on the 18th, pointing out, "The Democratic Party Innovation Committee led by Kim Eun-kyung was not a 'reform' of the Democratic Party but another form of 'shielding'."

Spokesperson Yoo said, "The top priorities for Democratic Party innovation are 'moral hazard' and 'judicial risk,' so what kind of innovation can someone who repeats the shameless claims of the Democratic Party so far bring?" He added, "Is this the result of the Democratic Party's careful consideration over ten days after the controversy and resignation of Lee Raekyung, Honorary Director of Other Hundred Years, over the 'Cheonan ship self-destruction theory'?"

He continued, "Although the innovation body was launched under pressure from the non-mainstream faction, it admitted that it is a card to maintain Leader Lee's status as Lee Jae-myung's avatar and to buy time for internal party issues," criticizing, "At a time when efforts close to re-founding the party are insufficient, the current Democratic Party leadership, which refuses to listen to harsh criticism and swallows only sweet words, is 'disqualified.'"

People Power Party lawmaker Seo Byung-soo also criticized on Facebook, "They appointed as Innovation Committee Chair a person who claims that the shield privilege is a 'constitutional right' and who said that the party convention, held with money envelopes exchanged, 'might have been fabricated by the prosecution.' This is collective madness at this level."
