Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated, "The Democratic Party will work with the five opposition parties this week to pass the Myeong Tae-gyun Special Prosecutor Act."


At the Democratic Party floor strategy meeting held at the National Assembly in Yeouido on the 25th, Floor Leader Park said, "We need to properly investigate the Myeong Tae-gyun gate through a special prosecutor to clearly determine whether President Yoon Seok-yeol instigated a rebellion."

Floor Leader Park said, "We must expose the serious crime of public opinion manipulation by Yoon Seok-yeol and his wife through a special prosecutor to restore the constitutional order," adding, "Only by eradicating corrupt politicians who have ruined the country through a special prosecutor can we rebuild fairness and justice that have been destroyed."


He criticized, "The prosecution has not revealed anything satisfying so far," and said, "Since the investigation into the Myeong Tae-gyun gate began, the prosecution has only made noise without touching the core issues."


He also said, "Amid growing public suspicion that the prosecution is deliberately concealing and downplaying the case, evidence is emerging that Myeong Tae-gyun interfered in the People Power Party, the Seoul mayoral election, and the presidential election," adding, "If Mayor Oh Se-hoon and Mayor Hong Joon-pyo, who claim to be innocent victims caught in Myeong Tae-gyun’s trap, have nothing to be ashamed of, they should clarify the facts through the Myeong Tae-gyun special prosecutor."


Floor Leader Park pointed out, "There was a report that the prosecution was aware of the Myeong Tae-gyun allegations as early as March last year," noting, "This coincides with the time when President Yoon Seok-yeol mentioned emergency powers and began taking action."


He continued, "It has also been revealed that the People Power Party concealed the fact that they were aware of Kim Geon-hee’s nomination interference allegations and the president’s public opinion manipulation before the Myeong Tae-gyun gate broke out," emphasizing, "If they then say they will exercise a veto, isn’t it clear who the culprit is?"


Floor Leader Park stressed, "If the People Power Party is confident of their innocence, they should support the special prosecutor," and added, "South Korea stands at a crossroads between impeachment and destruction." He shared that People Power Party members plan to participate in an anti-impeachment rally on the 1st of next month, criticizing, "A party that denies the constitution is not a conservative party but an extreme right-wing party."



In conclusion, he said, "The impeachment of Yoon Seok-yeol is the path to national normalization and overcoming the economic crisis," and stated, "The Democratic Party will take the lead in saving South Korea."
