The Democratic Party of the Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly held a resolution rally on the 11th to investigate the allegations of preferential treatment on the Seoul~Yangpyeong Expressway and launched a task force (TF) for fact-finding.

The Democratic Party of Korea in the Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly launched a resolution rally and a fact-finding task force (TF) on the 11th, marking the beginning of full-scale activities to investigate allegations of preferential treatment related to the Seoul~Yangpyeong Expressway.

Before the start of the plenary session on the same day, the Democratic Party held a resolution rally in front of the plenary hall with all its members present, urging the investigation of the preferential treatment allegations concerning the Seoul~Yangpyeong Expressway.

Myung Jae-sung, head of the fact-finding TF, read the resolution and stated, "Examining the process of changing the terminus of the Seoul~Yangpyeong Expressway from Yangseo-myeon to Gangseo-myeon reveals several circumstances that inevitably raise suspicions of preferential treatment involving the family of First Lady Kim Geon-hee." He added, "There is growing public suspicion that the declaration to scrap the expressway project is a smokescreen to prevent the exposure of preferential treatment allegations related to the family of First Lady Kim Geon-hee."

He continued, "Residents of Yangpyeong, who have endured years of traffic congestion and long waits due to the preferential treatment allegations involving the presidential family, should not suffer further harm," urging, "Withdraw the cancellation of the Seoul~Yangpyeong Expressway project and investigate the preferential treatment allegations involving the family of First Lady Kim Geon-hee."

The Democratic Party members, during the resolution rally, demanded ▲ the National Assembly conduct a state audit ▲ Gyeonggi Province conduct a special audit on illegalities by Yangpyeong County related to the Seoul~Yangpyeong Expressway project ▲ and the withdrawal of the cancellation of the Seoul~Yangpyeong Expressway project.

On the same day, the Democratic Party also launched the Seoul~Yangpyeong Expressway Fact-Finding TF. The TF plans to actively respond to the investigation of the Seoul~Yangpyeong Expressway allegations in cooperation with the central party and the Gyeonggi Provincial Party.

Nam Jong-seop, the representative assembly member, said, "Since the Seoul~Yangpyeong Expressway is located within the province, the Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly must take the lead," adding, "Starting with today's resolution rally, the party will take the lead in fact-finding and withdrawing the cancellation centered on the fact-finding TF."
