Yoo Seung-min: "The Opposition Will Be Judged If They Try to 'Rescue Private Lee Jae-myung'"

"Ijaemyeong's words mean to reject it"
"Completely reversing his own promise"

Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, sent a de facto 'request to reject' message a day before the vote on his arrest consent bill, prompting former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min to warn that "if it is rejected, the Democratic Party will face the judgment of the people."

On the 20th, former lawmaker Yoo said through his social media service (SNS), "'The statement that passing the arrest consent bill would give wings to the political prosecution's fabricated investigation' means to reject it," he said.

He pointed out, "(Leader Lee) completely reversed his own promise made just three months ago in the National Assembly's keynote speech, where he said, 'I will give up my right not to be arrested regarding the political investigation against me,'" adding, "If he is innocent, the right thing to do is to confidently respond to the warrant review and seek the court's judgment as he promised."

Former lawmaker Yoo said, "The public is watching the votes of the Democratic Party lawmakers tomorrow," and warned, "If the Democratic Party holds a shielded National Assembly session to 'save Private Lee Jae-myung,' they will face the judgment of the people."
