Song Unseok: "If Jeong Won-o Is Elected, Real Estate Disaster Will Follow... The Key Is Expanding Supply"

Request for Public Debate on Special Prosecutor Bill for Indictment Withdrawal

Policy Chief: "Official Letter Delivered to Democratic Party"

Song Eonseok, floor leader of the People Power Party, stated on the 12th, "If Jeong Won-oh (the Democratic Party's candidate for Seoul mayor) becomes mayor, the collapse of the real estate market is inevitable," adding, "I want to emphasize once again that the key to stabilizing the real estate market is expanding supply."

Song attended the floor strategy meeting held at the National Assembly that morning and said, "Candidate Jeong avoids debates, cannot even answer why he should be mayor of Seoul, and cannot explain his own pledges," making these remarks.

Song Eonseok, floor leader of the People Power Party, is speaking at the floor strategy meeting held at the National Assembly on the 12th.

Song pointed out, "After the implementation of the heavy capital gains tax, a full-fledged locking up of apartment listings occurred in the Seoul market." He explained, "Afterwards, the market saw an increase in property gifts rather than sales by multiple-homeowners, and except for some high-priced homes in Gangnam, the balloon effect of rising prices spread throughout Seoul and the metropolitan area."

Song also criticized, "The real estate policy of the Lee Jaemyung administration has ignored the real estate market's operating principle of new apartment supply, and instead, only pressured the people with taxes and regulations." He said, "As a result, those without homes have been hit with skyrocketing rent prices, homeowners have been hit with tax burdens, and genuine buyers have faced excessive regulations."

Regarding the special prosecutor bill on the withdrawal of indictments being promoted by the ruling party, he criticized, "The Democratic Party filed mass perjury charges against 31 witnesses who gave testimony unfavorable to them in the parliamentary inquiry into the indictment withdrawal," calling it "a large-scale retaliatory complaint."

He continued, "Ironically, the fact that as many as 31 people gave testimony completely contradicting the Democratic Party's intentions, even amid biased witness selection and constant shouting, ultimately proves that the Democratic Party's claim of a fabricated indictment is itself fabricated or manipulated." He added, "The Lee Jaemyung government is obsessed only with abusing power for political revenge."

Policy chief Jeong Jeomshik addressed this as well, stating, "Once again, I urge the Democratic Party to accept a public debate on the special prosecutor bill for indictment withdrawal, with three representatives from each party: the floor leaders, policy chiefs, and chief deputy floor leaders." He explained, "Yesterday, the People Power Party showed sincerity by officially submitting a formal letter to the Democratic Party."

Jeong further stated, "If the Democratic Party ultimately refuses to participate in the debate, the public will have no choice but to regard this special prosecutor bill for indictment withdrawal as a bill to exonerate Lee Jaemyung." He added, "If the Democratic Party is not confident in a public review, they should immediately withdraw the special prosecutor bill for indictment withdrawal."
