Daegu On-Site Supreme Council Meeting

Heo Eun-ah, leader of the Reform New Party, criticized the ruling party on the 29th regarding the rejection of the special prosecutor law for Chae Sang-byeong by the National Assembly plenary session the previous day, saying, "How can any conservative dare to cast a dissenting vote in the face of the death of a soldier who voluntarily enlisted in the Marine Corps to protect the country?"


Heo said at the on-site Supreme Council meeting held in Daegu that morning, "It is understood that almost all members of the People Power Party cast dissenting votes."


He added, "President Yoon Seok-yeol is a self-proclaimed liberal who mentioned 'freedom' 35 times in his inaugural speech," and raised his voice, saying, "What kind of liberal president would cowardly exercise a veto against the special prosecutor law that calls for revealing the truth by pressuring the head of the investigation team responsible for holding accountable the death of a twenty-year-old soldier?"


Heo stated, "The foundation of conservatism is fulfilling responsibility and knowing honor and shame," and pointed out, "The president suddenly traveled across the country under the name of a 'People's Livelihood Debate' and even blatantly intervened in elections. There is no such conservatism in the world."



He also said, "Is the People Power Party really a conservative party? Is the People Power Party deceiving the hearts of Daegu residents?" and added, "This is also something to reflect on here in Daegu."
