Democratic Party: "Dismissal of Lee Jae-myung's Arrest Warrant Is Natural... Distorted and Fabricated Investigations Cannot Overcome the Court's Barrier"

The Democratic Party of Korea responded to the dismissal of the arrest warrant for Representative Lee Jae-myung by calling it 'justice served.' The party stated, "It is now time to stop the vile exercise of prosecutorial power targeting Representative Lee Jae-myung."

On the 27th, Kwon Chil-seung, the senior spokesperson for the Democratic Party, commented on the court's dismissal of the arrest warrant for Lee, saying, "The dismissal of the arrest warrant is only natural," and "We welcome the court's wise judgment."

Spokesperson Kwon evaluated, "The court's dismissal of the arrest warrant sounded an alarm to the Yoon Seok-yeol prosecution dictatorship regime, which is obsessed with suppressing the opposition and eliminating political rivals," adding, "The reckless distortion and fabrication investigations by the Yoon Seok-yeol regime and political prosecutors could not overcome the court's barrier."

He emphasized, "It has become crystal clear that the Yoon Seok-yeol government and the People Power Party have been an incompetent and irresponsible regime that only focused on suppressing the opposition while neglecting people's livelihoods and the economy," and "President Yoon must return to his presidential duties, and the prosecution must return to its prosecutorial duties." Spokesperson Kwon asked, "How long will they continue to ignore responsibility for people's livelihoods, the economy, and state affairs while focusing solely on suppressing the opposition and winning the general election?"

He also reiterated demands for President Yoon's apology and the resignation of the entire cabinet.

Spokesperson Kwon said, "The president must stop his autocratic communication blackout, come before the people, and bow his head in apology," and "He must initiate personnel reform through the total resignation of the cabinet and a major shift in the national policy direction." He continued, "The People Power Party, which was busy labeling the Democratic Party and Representative Lee as 'bulletproof' by invoking a non-existent 'judicial risk,' must also apologize," and added, "The Democratic Party will work even harder as a watchdog to monitor and check the incompetence and failures of the Yoon Seok-yeol regime to protect the lives of the people and the future of the Republic of Korea."
