With "Request to Veto the Myeong Taegyun Special Prosecutor Act... Kim Sang-wook's Support Vote Is a Wrong Behavior"

Criticism of Kim Sangwook for Supporting the Special Prosecutor Act
"If You Are a Party Member, You Must Follow the Party Line"

The People Power Party announced on the 27th that it plans to request Choi Sang-mok, Acting Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Finance, to exercise the right to request reconsideration (veto power) regarding the 'Myeong Tae-gyun Special Prosecutor Act' that passed the National Assembly plenary session.

Kwon Seong-dong, floor leader of the People Power Party, stated this to reporters on the same day. The Myeong Tae-gyun Special Prosecutor Act passed the National Assembly plenary session with 274 members present, 182 in favor, 91 opposed, and 1 abstention. Among the People Power Party members, only Representative Kim Sang-wook voted in favor.

If Acting Prime Minister Choi exercises the veto and the National Assembly holds a re-vote, for the bill to be approved, a majority of the total members must be present, and at least two-thirds of those present must vote in favor.

Floor leader Kwon criticized Representative Kim Sang-wook, saying, "Voting in favor against the party line is a wrongful act as a party member and as a member of the National Assembly belonging to a party," and added, "He has repeatedly voted against the party line, and I urge him to follow the party line."

Regarding the amendment to the Commercial Act, which was not submitted to the plenary session that day, he said, "It is a harmful law that governs one million companies," and added, "Amending the Capital Market Act to regulate only the approximately 2,500 listed companies is the way to prevent abuse of lawsuits and strengthen corporate competitiveness. We will continue discussions with the Democratic Party."
