Kim Moonsoo: "Lee Jaemyung Must Reflect Even More Than Yoon... Withdrawal of Supreme Court Expansion Bill Is Only Natural"

Democratic Party's Proposal to Increase Supreme Court Justices to 100...
"The Very Idea Is a Bulletproof Mindset"
"Risks of Poor Management and Fraudulent Elections Must Always Be Addressed"

On May 26, Kim Moonsoo, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, strongly criticized Lee Jaemyung, the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, regarding the Democratic Party's withdrawal of the bill to increase the number of Supreme Court justices to 100 and to appoint non-lawyers as justices. Kim stated, "Lee Jaemyung must engage in self-reflection even more than former President Yoon Sukyeol, considering how he has led our country into such chaos and a major regression of democracy."

After finishing his campaign at the Seoin Intersection of Anseong Central Market in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province on this day, Kim met with reporters and commented on the withdrawal of the bills to increase the number of Supreme Court justices to 100 and to appoint non-lawyers as justices. He said, "It was the right decision. It was only natural," and argued, "There is no such case anywhere else in the world."

He continued, "In what country in the world are there 100 Supreme Court justices? The very idea is a bulletproof mindset," emphasizing, "It is only natural to withdraw the bill because destroying and trampling everything, including the law and the prosecution, for one's own survival is unacceptable."

Kim stated, "Whether it is the destruction of the judiciary or the destruction of the separation of powers, in order to survive, they would impeach all the Supreme Court justices, impeach all the prosecutors who investigated them, and label anything they dislike as a rebellious party," adding, "At this rate, won't they soon suggest impeaching members of the National Assembly as well?"

He also reiterated concerns about the poor management of early voting. Kim said, "There must not be any possibility of fraud, even for a single vote," and added, "Any risks of poor management or fraudulent elections must be addressed and always properly supervised."

He further explained, "In the case of out-of-district ballots, they are sent to the voter's place of residence, but there have been concerns about poor management during the storage process until the ballots are counted," and stated, "Election monitors will thoroughly oversee the process to minimize the possibility of voting fraud or mismanagement during early voting."

He went on to emphasize, "When there are people who always raise issues regarding early voting, the National Election Commission should kindly and clearly explain and help them understand. That is what democracy is."

When asked whether he could win the presidential election without unifying with Lee Junseok, the presidential candidate of the Reform New Party, Kim replied, "I believe the public will decide, so I am diligently appealing to public sentiment."
