Hong Ik-pyo "Reapproval of Double Special Investigation Act on 29th... Will Build Trust through Systematic Nomination"

Hong Ik-pyo, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, announced, "We plan to reapprove the Double Special Prosecutor Act (Kim Geon-hee Special Prosecutor and Daejang-dong Special Prosecutor) at the plenary session on the 29th."

At the Democratic Party policy coordination meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Floor Leader Hong said, "The public recognizes the legitimacy and necessity. The public opinion that the National Assembly must pass the Double Special Prosecutor Act consistently remains in the mid to high 50% to 60%, which proves this."

He stated, "The president's exercise of veto power without justifiable reasons is an abuse of power to defend himself and his family," adding, "He must be held accountable."

Floor Leader Hong said, "With less than 50 days left until the general election, the public's will to judge the Yoon Seok-yeol administration, which has caused the collapse of the livelihood economy, the regression of democracy, and the decline of national dignity in this election, appears firm," and added, "The Democratic Party is the only alternative that can give hope to the people and prepare the future of the Republic of Korea. We have the responsibility to embody and realize this public sentiment. However, at a time when unity is more necessary than ever, the Democratic Party is disappointing the public, and I deeply apologize." He continued, "This general election is not an election for the Democratic Party but a desperate choice to protect the lives of the common people and the middle class standing at the edge of a cliff and to enable Korea to leap forward again."

Floor Leader Hong said, "If we do not properly understand the significance of this election and do not dedicate ourselves, the Democratic Party will commit a great historical mistake," adding, "The Democratic Party must unite and become one. If we fail to judge the Yoon Seok-yeol administration in the general election due to division and conflict, it will be a great misfortune not only for the Democratic Party but also for the Republic of Korea." He continued, "The Democratic Party will reform," and stated, "We must earn the trust of the people by properly implementing a fair system of candidate nomination."
