Park Chan-dae “‘Special prosecution unconstitutionality’ is the same as Choi Soon-sil’s sophistry…refusal will lead to the downfall of the regime” :: Sympathetic Media Newsis ::

“Constitutional Court denies that the right to recommend special prosecutor candidates is within the legislative discretion of the National Assembly.”

“If the special prosecutor refuses, it will be the 25th veto, the most since Syngman Rhee.”

(Seoul = Newsis) Reporters Kim Ji-eun and Kim Gyeong-rok = Park Chan-dae, floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said on the 19th, “President Yoon Seok-yeol and the People Power Party’s insistence that special prosecution is unconstitutional is similar to Choi Soon-sil’s sophistry in the past,” and the government and ruling party accepted the ‘First Lady Kim Kun-hee Special Prosecution Act’. urged again.

At a floor plan meeting held at the National Assembly on this day, floor leader Park said, “There are predictions that the Cabinet will propose the exercise of the veto as early as today,” and added, “Rejecting special prosecutor Kim Kun-hee will be a signal for the fall of the Yoon Seok-yeol regime.”

He said, “If President Yoon vetoes it again, it will be his third veto on the Kim Kun-hee Special Prosecutor’s Office and his 25th veto since taking office. This is the largest and worst record since the dictator Syngman Rhee, who was ousted in the April 19 Revolution. Among all presidents in history, he has vetoed not only himself but also his family.” “President Yoon is the only person who refused to conduct a related special prosecutor or prosecutorial investigation,” he criticized.

He continued, “At the time, President Yoon was the head of the investigation team of Park Geun-hye’s special prosecutor for state affairs, and Representative Han was the prosecutor who sought 30 years in prison and a fine of 118.5 billion won for Park Geun-hye.” He added, “If the special prosecutor was unconstitutional, Prosecutor Yoon Seok-yeol could not become a presidential candidate and this regime “It couldn’t have existed,” he said, raising his voice.

Floor Leader Park also said, “Choi Soon-sil filed a constitutional complaint in 2017, claiming that the special prosecutor’s office excluding members of the ruling party was unconstitutional, but the Constitutional Court rejected the request and stated that it is the legislative discretion of the National Assembly to decide who will be given the right to recommend candidates and how they will be appointed. He emphasized, “70% of the people are in favor of special prosecution for Kim Kun-hee, which is an order from the sovereign and a stern order from the people.”

At the same time, he said, “If President Yoon refuses the special prosecutor, it will only hasten the fall of the Yoon Seok-yeol regime,” and added, “The people will not give up, but the Democratic Party will push forward until it is carried out.”

Regarding the National Investigation into Chae Sang-byeong, Floor Leader Park said, “Five months have passed since we submitted the request for a National Investigation,” and “As Representative Han also expressed his support for Chae Marine’s special investigation, there is no justification for the People Power Party to oppose the National Investigation.” “Nothing at all,” he added.
