Song Young-gil: "If sent to the National Assembly, Yoon Seok-yeol administration will be impeached within 1 year"

"In-Prison Election Victory Marks the End of Prosecutorial Fear Politics"

Song Young-gil, leader of the Sonamudang party who ran for office from prison in the Gwangsan-gap electoral district of Gwangju, stated on the 4th, "Please hold the hand of mine, who is imprisoned due to political retaliation by the Yoon Seok-yeol prosecution dictatorship regime."

In a recorded election speech at KBS Gwangju Broadcasting Headquarters that day, Song said, "I was targeted for investigation following Cho Kuk and Lee Jae-myung," adding, "My election victory from prison will mark the end of the prosecution's fear politics characterized by targeted and separate investigations."

Song emphasized, "The Democratic Party with 180 seats could not even impeach former Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon, so will impeaching be possible just by electing all Democratic Party members in Gwangju?" He added, "I will turn Gwangju politics, which has become peripheral due to the absence of influential politicians, into the center of the Republic of Korea."

Song said, "If you send me and the eight proportional representation candidates of the Sonamudang party to the National Assembly, I will impeach the Yoon Seok-yeol regime within a year."

Song was arrested and indicted on charges including involvement in distributing a total of 660.5 million won in cash envelopes at the 2021 Democratic Party convention and receiving a total of 763 million won in illegal political funds under the name of donations.
