"45-Minute Proposal Explanation, Provoking the Opponent"

Yoo Yong-ho, a member of the People Power Party, stated that Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon thought, ahead of the parliamentary vote on the arrest motion for Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, on the 21st of last month, "I thought it might actually be inducing a rejection."

On the 3rd, Yoo appeared on CBS Radio's 'Park Jae-hong's One-on-One Match' and referred to the time when Minister Han went up to the podium in the National Assembly plenary session to explain the necessity of the arrest before the vote on the arrest motion for Lee.

Yoo explained the reason for his thought by saying, "Bringing a 45-minute explanation (for the arrest motion proposal) requires a lot of patience and stimulates (the listeners)."

He continued, "Also, phrases like 'The Democratic Party has been making unreasonable claims' were inserted intermittently," adding, "When Democratic Party members hear such remarks, even if they were going to approve the arrest motion, there is a strong possibility it would be rejected, so I briefly thought that Minister Han was deliberately provoking and agitating such reactions."

However, Yoo said, "Minister Han probably did not intend that, and ultimately he was just fulfilling his role, so while he can be criticized for the dismissal of the arrest warrant for Lee, I don't think he can be held responsible for it."

Regarding the situation of the Democratic Party, Yoo assessed, "Although Lee avoided detention, the judicial risk has not decreased. The Democratic Party's suffering has been prolonged," and added, "I believe this prolonged hardship could cause internal damage leading up to next year's general election."
