Yoon Jae-ok: "Democratic Party Turns Standing Committee into 'Lee Jae-myung Assault Conspiracy Theory' Reading Hall"

Showing Loyalty Ahead of Nomination
"Standing Committee Meeting Abuse Must Be Refrained"

Yoon Jae-ok, the floor leader of the People Power Party, criticized the Democratic Party of Korea on the 30th for raising claims of government and investigative agencies' downplaying and concealment regarding the attack on Representative Lee Jae-myung, saying they are "caught up in an unfounded sense of victimhood."

At the floor strategy meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Yoon said, "Democratic Party lawmakers are turning standing committees into conspiracy theory reading sessions to show off their loyalty ahead of the party nominations."

The Democratic Party had previously held exclusive full meetings of the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee and the Public Administration and Security Committee regarding the attack on Representative Lee.

Yoon pointed out, "The investigation was conducted strictly according to procedures and relevant regulations, and the results were disclosed in detail to the public and the media. There is no justification to convene standing committees any further to repeat baseless conspiracy theories."

He added, "While the attack on Representative Lee is a regrettable incident, the public does not believe there is any conspiracy theory as claimed by the Democratic Party. It is free to show off loyalty and make an impression on fervent supporters, but please refrain from abusing standing committee meetings and summoning agency heads, who should be focusing on their primary duties, to the National Assembly during this process."
