Kim Ki-hyun: "Democratic Party, Desperate to Cover Judicial Risks by Exploiting Jamboree for Diversion"

World Jamboree Led by Moon Administration
Criticism Toward Kim Yoon-duk and Ahn Kyu-baek: "Only Reaping Benefits"
Money Envelope at Party Convention, Silence Is Poison, Truth Must Be Revealed

Kim Ki-hyun, leader of the People Power Party, pointed out on the 7th at the first Supreme Council meeting held after returning from summer vacation, "The Democratic Party, instead of helping to resolve issues during a large-scale international event that concerns national interests, rather expands the problems and uses them as tools for political strife, which is utterly pathetic."

At the Supreme Council meeting of the People Power Party held at the National Assembly that day, Kim referred to the 25th World Scout Jamboree held in Saemangeum, stating, "I will only point out the objective facts."

He said, "The confirmation of the 2023 Jamboree was during the Moon Jae-in administration in August 2017," adding, "Former President Moon Jae-in showed great affection for the Jamboree, mentioning it at the first Senior Secretary meeting held in May 2017, and prepared intensively by making the Saemangeum project one of the top 100 national tasks." He continued, "Former President Moon even personally filmed promotional videos and focused on promotion, and the related special law passed through the National Assembly?all of which were led by the Moon Jae-in administration, something the Democratic Party surely knows. The Jamboree hosting exempted the new airport preliminary feasibility study, and former Democratic Party governor of Jeonbuk boasted about securing the budget," he criticized.

Kim also criticized Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Yoon-duk, who served as co-chairman of the Saemangeum Jamboree organizing committee, saying, "After posting a bright photo of the opening ceremony on SNS, expressing how his heart was pounding and overwhelmed, he suddenly disappeared when heatstroke patients occurred and preparation criticisms arose." He added, "The chairman of the National Assembly Scout Federation, who managed and actively supported this Jamboree event and used the budget, is also Democratic Party lawmaker Ahn Kyu-baek."

He said, "It is not right to only reap the benefits while failing to correct the behavior of their own party members," and added, "The Democratic Party’s behavior of exploiting an international event to divert attention from the disgraceful acts of their party members and the judicial risks of their party leader and lawmakers, with no regard for national interests, is by no means the proper image of a legitimate political party."

Regarding reports that 20 Democratic Party lawmakers were involved in the 'money envelope party convention' incident, Kim also commented, saying, "From the top to the bottom of the Democratic Party, including leader Lee Jae-myung, former leader Song Young-gil, and former secretary-general Yoon Kwan-seok, it seems full of corrupt figures." He emphasized, "A proper party leader should not ignore the revealed facts. This is the last chance for self-purification. Even a faint hope of revival should inspire public expectations. The silence of leaders is poison."

Meanwhile, marking five months since its launch, Kim pledged, "As shown by the failure of the opposition’s total effort to produce criticism through the Fukushima contaminated water rumors and false agitation over the Seoul-Yangpyeong Expressway, many citizens have already seen through that these are merely election strategies of a corrupt opposition group." He added, "We will leave the opposition’s bogus rumors to the wise judgment of the people and further strengthen the fundamental political stance of focusing on people’s livelihood and the economy."
