Yoon Sang-hyun: "Acting Chief Choi's Threat Proves Martial Law Legitimacy... Lee Jae-myung, the X-Man Helping Dismiss Impeachment"

"Raised the Legitimacy of Dismissing and Rejecting Yoon's Impeachment Trial"
"Unimaginable Remarks from the Leader of South Korea's Main Opposition Party"

Yoon Sang-hyun, a member of the People Power Party, criticized Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, calling him "the X-man who helps dismiss the impeachment trial of President Yoon Suk-yeol."

On the 20th, Yoon posted on social media (SNS), "Lee Jae-myung's political life is coming to an end. It has only been two days since I pointed out that Lee's poker face was shaking, and now it has completely collapsed," he said.

He said, "Lee publicly warned Acting President Choi Sang-mok, saying, 'Even the president can be punished if he destroys the constitutional order, even if he is in office. Any citizen can arrest Acting President Choi as a criminal caught in the act. I hope he takes care,'" and criticized, "Such remarks are unimaginable from the leader of South Korea's main opposition party."

He added, "This is no different from openly inciting terrorism against Acting President Choi, and it is very similar to the attack methods used by North Korea through Korean Central TV or Rodong Sinmun to criticize and threaten our government's president."

Yoon claimed that Lee's public threat the day before confirmed certain things. He said, "First, the reality of how much Lee despises and suppresses the head of government has been concretely revealed."

He criticized, "Constitutional Court justices must have clearly seen Lee's true nature. They must have understood clearly how he intends to carry out retaliation and violence against those who oppose or do not cooperate with him."

In particular, Yoon said, "Attempts to threaten and paralyze the government like yesterday have been continuously carried out against the president and the government for 32 months," and argued that the December 3 emergency martial law was a necessary measure by President Yoon Suk-yeol to overcome the national crisis. He added, "For this reason, Lee's threat yesterday further justified the dismissal and rejection of President Yoon Suk-yeol's impeachment trial," calling it "in a way, something to be thankful for from Lee."

He warned, "Lee, stop wasting your futile efforts now. No one in South Korea will succumb to Lee's threats or be swayed by his sophistry."

Meanwhile, at the on-site Supreme Council meeting held at the tent protest in Gwanghwamun, Seoul, the day before, Lee criticized Acting President Choi for not appointing Ma Eun-hyuk as a Constitutional Court justice candidate, saying, "Acts that do not fulfill constitutional duties can never be forgiven," and warned, "From this moment on, any citizen can arrest anyone neglecting their duties as a criminal caught in the act, so I hope they take care." The People Power Party criticized Lee's remarks as "illegal terrorism incitement," accusing him of urging his supporters to commit acts of terror. On the other hand, the Democratic Party countered that it was intended to show a commitment to upholding the constitution.
