Oh Se-hoon: "The president is already detained... Lee's special prosecutor for the presidential election must stop"

"Stop the Shield Show and Cooperate in Managing State Affairs"

Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon urged the suspension of the 'Special Investigation Law on Sedition,' which was passed by the National Assembly led by the Democratic Party of Korea, calling it a 'special investigation for Lee Jae-myung's presidential election.'

On the 20th, Mayor Oh posted on Facebook, stating, "The special investigation for Lee Jae-myung's presidential election must stop," making this claim.

He continued, "The incumbent president has already been detained, and most of the key related figures have been indicted while in custody," adding, "Soon, the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials will complete its investigation, and if the prosecution files charges, trials will proceed. Forming another special investigation team on top of this is a contradiction that even the Democratic Party itself cannot understand."

He criticized the Democratic Party's push for the special investigation as being aimed at Lee Jae-myung's presidential election. He said, "The public's attention is being diverted from the appeal trial for the invalidation of the election of Lee Jae-myung, who is a criminal defendant, to the special investigation," emphasizing, "If an early presidential election is held, a special investigation lasting several months will become 'election campaigning' itself."

Mayor Oh told the Democratic Party, "It is time to stop the shield show and calmly cooperate in managing state affairs."
