Jang Donghyuk: "Dropping Lee's Charges Marks the Start of Dictatorship... Will Turn into the Democratic People's Republic of South Joseon"

On May 7, Jang Donghyuk, leader of the People Power Party, stated, "The moment criminal President Lee Jaemyung tears up the indictment with his own hands, an omnipotent dictatorship will begin," adding, "It will become the Democratic People's Republic of South Joseon, where Supreme Leader Lee Jaemyung and his pro-Lee loyalists monopolize wealth and power."

Attending an on-site Supreme Council meeting in front of the Cheong Wa Dae in Jongno-gu, Seoul, on the morning of the same day, Jang said, "The withdrawal of the indictment is not just an attempt to erase Lee Jaemyung's crimes, but the final tollgate leading to Lee Jaemyung's dictatorship."

Jang continued, "Crimes such as illegal remittances to North Korea, the Daejang-dong corruption scandal, and violations of election laws are so clear and heinous that no matter how much prosecutors and the judiciary are intimidated, imprisonment is unavoidable. That is why he wants to appoint a special prosecutor, have the special prosecutor seize the indictment from the judge, and then tear it up himself."

Jang further said, "This election is about stopping Lee Jaemyung's dictatorship and ending the regime of dictatorship," and added, "On June 3, we must unite the people's anger and restore the Republic of Korea as a liberal democracy."

Regarding the constitutional amendment bill led by the ruling party, which is scheduled for a vote on this day, Jang said, "This constitutional amendment is a political maneuver to prolong Lee Jaemyung's dictatorship," and insisted, "If an amendment is to be pursued, President Lee must first declare that he will not seek re-election, and the Democratic Party must immediately withdraw the special prosecutor for indictment withdrawal, thus pledging their commitment to uphold the Constitution."

Jang concluded, "The Constitution is the foundation of a nation, defining the present of its people and promising the future to be pursued together with them. If the Constitution is to be amended, it should be a way to redesign the Republic of Korea, embracing greater values and visions. Deliberation and debate in the National Assembly must come first, followed by national consensus."
