Jogeuk Innovation Party "Welcome Lee Jae-myung's Acquittal... Democracy Confirmed Amid Prosecutor Dictatorship Regime Oppression"

Party for National Innovation Welcomes Court's Acquittal of Lee Jae-myung
Kim Seon-min: "Today's Ruling Is a Victory for Principles and Common Sense"
Calls for Prosecutorial Reform and Criticizes Yoon Seok-yeol Regime

On the 26th, the Party for National Innovation expressed its welcome for the court's acquittal in the second trial of Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, on charges of violating the Public Official Election Act.

Kim Seon-min, acting leader of the Party for National Innovation, stated in a commentary immediately after the court's verdict, "We send applause of support and encouragement to Representative Lee and the Democratic Party members and supporters who overcame the political oppression of the Yoon Seok-yeol prosecution dictatorship regime."

Acting leader Kim explained, "Today's ruling is a victory for principles and common sense, and a complete defeat for the political prosecution," adding, "It confirms that democracy and justice are alive even under the oppression of the prosecution dictatorship regime."

He continued, "Above all, the acquittal of Representative Lee is a dismissal sentence against prosecutorial power. After establishing the Yoon Seok-yeol regime through a low-intensity coup, the prosecution continuously investigated and indicted former Representative Cho Kuk, Representative Lee Jae-myung, as well as civil society and critical media," he claimed.

Acting leader Kim emphasized, "They tried to suffocate critical forces, whether right or wrong, through investigations and indictments," and "The court today judged that the prosecution's investigations and indictments were political retaliation and attempts at judicial murder."

He also said, "The seeds of the December 3rd rebellion also began with the prosecution dictatorship. We cannot leave the prosecution as it is," adding, "In the eyes of the people, the term of the prosecution organization is already over. The Party for National Innovation will pass the four laws for prosecutorial reform and firmly conclude prosecutorial reform."

He also issued a warning to the People Power Party. Acting leader Kim said, "The People Power Party, lost in delusions, anticipated windfall benefits alongside the far-right rebellion forces. No matter what reckless acts they commit, they cannot cover up responsibility for the rebellion," raising his voice, "The dismissal of Yoon Seok-yeol cannot be stopped. They cannot escape the harsh judgment of the people."

He added, "The people's desire to end the rebellion and protect the constitution cannot be broken, and the Party for National Innovation will take that will and end the Yoon Seok-yeol rebellion regime," expressing concern that "There are also concerns about court intrusion and judge terrorism related to today's ruling. The riot at the Seoul Western District Court must not be repeated."
