Gyeongbuk Governor Lee Cheolwoo: "Welcome to the Constitutional Court's Rejection of Democratic Party's Reckless Impeachment... President Yoon Will Soon Return and Judge Lee Jaemyung"

Welcoming the Dismissal of Impeachment Against Board of Audit and Inspection Chairman and Prosecutors
"29 Impeachment Motions Recklessly Submitted in Two Years"

Lee Cheolwoo, the governor of North Gyeongsang Province from the People Power Party, stated on the 13th, "I welcome the unanimous decision by the Constitutional Court to dismiss the impeachment of Choi Jaehae, Chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection, Lee Changsu, Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, Prosecutor Jo Sangwon, and Prosecutor Choi Jaehun."

Governor Lee said on Facebook that day, "The Constitutional Court continues to strike down the habitual abuse of impeachment by the Democratic Party, which is acting as a parliamentary dictatorship. Regarding the three prosecutors who returned to their duties today, the National Assembly could not even properly state the reasons for impeachment, but the public knows that the real reason for impeachment was that these prosecutors investigated Lee Jaemyung, the party leader. The Democratic Party has recklessly submitted 29 impeachment motions in just two years, from Minister of the Interior and Safety Lee Sangmin in February 2023 to Prime Minister Han Ducksoo in December 2024. That means they attempted impeachment every 24 days on average."

Governor Lee added, "The Constitutional Court has dismissed all impeachment cases so far: Minister Lee Sangmin, Prosecutor Ahn Dongwan, Prosecutor Lee Jeongseop, Chairwoman Lee Jinsook of the Korea Communications Commission, and today, Chairman Choi Jaehae of the Board of Audit and Inspection, Chief Prosecutor Lee Changsu, Prosecutor Jo Sangwon, and Prosecutor Choi Jaehun."

Governor Lee argued, "These results show how unjustly the Yoon Sukyeol administration has been attacked by the National Assembly. It is evidence that President Yoon Sukyeol's declaration of martial law was a legitimate exercise of his rights against the tyranny of the major opposition party. I am confident that President Yoon Sukyeol will soon return to his duties."

Governor Lee further stated, "Now, when the president returns and the country is normalized, the people must judge the Democratic Party and Lee Jaemyung, who have paralyzed the Republic of Korea and attempted to usurp power by recklessly abusing impeachment for malicious purposes."
