Kwon Seong-dong: "'Political Gambling' by the Democratic Party, Flooding Impeachment Motions That Are Obviously Going to Be Dismissed"

The three opposition parties, including the Democratic Party of Korea, filed an impeachment motion against Minister of the Interior and Safety Lee Sang-min, holding him responsible for the Itaewon tragedy. However, on the 25th, the Constitutional Court dismissed the motion, prompting Kwon Seong-dong, a member of the People Power Party, to criticize the opposition, saying, "The Democratic Party recklessly launched an impeachment motion that was obviously going to be dismissed."

On the 25th, Kwon posted on his social media, "From immediately after the Itaewon crush incident until now, the Democratic Party has politicized the disaster and turned death into a political issue," he said.

He added, "Such low-level politics ultimately culminated in a political gamble with the passage of the minister's impeachment motion," and "Right after the passage of the impeachment motion against Minister Lee, the Democratic Party boasted about the 'people's mandate.' However, today it has become clear to all that the Democratic Party is an unconstitutional group falsely claiming to represent the people by abusing the National Assembly's authority."

Kwon also pointed out that the reason the Democratic Party impeached Minister Lee was due to the judicial risks faced by Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung. He said, "Why did the Democratic Party fall into this political gamble? It was to divert public attention from the judicial risks of the party, including its leader," and "Look at the Democratic Party's behavior over the past few months. They have shielded a politician's shameless crimes in an unprecedented manner in constitutional history."

He continued, "The Democratic Party has abused the power entrusted by the people by protecting their leader inside the National Assembly and misused it outside the Assembly by recklessly engaging in political strife," adding, "The Democratic Party must accept the outcome. If they continue to criticize the Constitutional Court and make anti-constitutional remarks, the end of this political gambling group will be as miserable as that of any gambler."
