Seoeun-suk, Democratic Party Supreme Council Member, MBC Radio Interview

Seo Eun-sook, a Supreme Council member of the Democratic Party, raised her voice against the prosecution regarding the dismissal of the arrest warrant for Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, saying, "They must take responsibility for the excessive investigation."

On the 27th, Seo appeared on MBC Radio's 'Kim Jong-bae's Focus' and said, "Especially in the case of Han Dong-hoon, Minister of Justice, he openly spread facts about the suspect in the National Assembly, which represents the people."

She continued, "Despite one and a half years, 367 search and seizures, and six summonses, I think they failed to present any proper evidence," and criticized, "Moreover, attempting to conduct an arrest investigation was an extremely excessive behavior by the prosecution."

Regarding the so-called approval faction lawmakers who voted in favor of the arrest motion for Lee, she said, "It is not right to deliberately single out those who approved and conduct a witch hunt," but added that some lawmakers who admitted to voting in favor need to be dealt with.

Seo said, "I believe those who have admitted to it must bear political responsibility," and added, "The party should be a democratic party with diverse opinions, but it is common sense that a party without at least minimal discipline and order cannot win."

Regarding the previous day’s statement by senior lawmakers with four or more terms that "since it was not decided as party policy, the approval vote cannot be considered such an act," she said, "I think it was a remark expressing concern about disciplining the lawmakers who voted in favor."
