Lee Jun-seok on Yoon Supporters' Court Disruption: "A Serious Provocation Against the Rule of Law"

"Strict Accountability Must Be Enforced"

Lee Jun-seok, a lawmaker from the Reform New Party, criticized the violent behavior of some supporters at the Seoul Western District Court following the issuance of an arrest warrant for President Yoon Seok-yeol on the 19th, calling it a "serious provocation against democracy and the rule of law that must never be tolerated."

At a press conference held at the National Assembly that day, Lee said, "Both the instigators and participants must be held strictly accountable."

Lee stated, "Acts that aim to achieve goals by harming an unspecified majority or to display power through violence and destruction are acts of terrorism that cannot be tolerated in a democratic country," adding, "Such things are unimaginable in a civilized nation."

He continued, "When ruling party lawmakers invited people called the 'Baekgol-dan' to the National Assembly press conference, handed them microphones, and incited white terror, the failure to reprimand them more strongly led to today's crisis."

Lee said, "President Yoon was influenced throughout his term by YouTube content that bordered on delusion," and "Ultimately, this reached the peak of delusion by deploying the military to the National Assembly and the Election Commission, leading even to an impeachment phase."

He emphasized, "The arrest of President Yoon should serve as a turning point to eliminate extreme factional politics disguised as conservatism and progressivism, and to make the anti-intellectual forces trapped in delusion disappear into history."
