Lee Jae-myung's additional indictment... "Even if I do it, it's too much" vs "Pouring of guilt."

The Democratic Party of Korea protested the prosecution's oppression of Lee Jae-myung's indictment on charges of professional breach of trust, saying it was too much to do.

On the other hand, he urged the judiciary to make a quick judgment, saying that the power of the ruling party, the people, is pouring out so much that it is difficult to remember what it is about.

I'm connecting with the National Assembly reporter, reporter Kim Da-yeon!

Please tell us the reaction of the ruling and opposition parties in detail.

[Reporter]
The Democratic Party of Korea says it is too much to say that the prosecution will investigate and prosecute until Lee Jae-myung dies.

Cho Seung-rae, a senior spokesman, said at a press conference at the National Assembly that he intended to tie the hands and feet of the overwhelmingly supported political leader, but that he could not cover up Kim Gun-hee's manipulation of state affairs.

At the same time, the "political prosecution" is setting the whole neighborhood on fire like an arsonist, and the ruling party is clapping, warning that the fire could be transferred at any time, so let's listen to his remarks at the press conference.

[Cho Seung-rae / Minjoo Party's chief spokesman: Isn't it too much? We condemn the mean opposition suppression of the political prosecution, which is bent on killing the president's political opponent.

On the other hand, the power of the people was answered to reveal the truth in court in the future, as representative Lee himself said, "as per the law."

Senior spokesman Han Ji-ah issued a comment and pointed out that the universal common sense that the law is equal to all cannot be an exception to Lee.

Floor spokesman Park Joon-tae also asked the judiciary to make a quick and fair judgment, saying the opposition leader's appearance in court rather than in parliament is causing fatigue to the public.

[Park Jun-tae / People's Power Floor Spokesperson: Lee Jae-myung's charges have increased, leading to five trials at the same time. There are so many crimes that it's hard to remember even the contents.

As a representative, we are now preparing for five trials, what countermeasures are the Democratic Party considering?

[Reporter]
First of all, ahead of the appeal trial for violation of the Public Official Election Act, which was recently sentenced to probation of imprisonment in the first trial, it is seen that Lee is struggling to form a representative defense team.

Some even say that the party should invest its budget to set up a defense team or form a dedicated team.

Amid criticism that he is paying taxpayers' money in the guise of the party's budget, Senior Spokesman Cho Seung-rae met with reporters at the National Assembly and explained that it needed to be reviewed because it happened during the presidential election process and has a large impact on the party.

An official from Lee's side also said that although nothing has been decided in the phone call with YTN, since Lee received a heavier sentence than expected in the first trial, he is also mentioned as a way to recruit former officials, saying that the defense logic may have collapsed.

On the other hand, the Democratic Party of Korea has not let go of its offensive to lend Kim Gun-hee's Special Prosecutor Act, which is expected to be re-voted on the 28th.

In the morning meeting, it was even said that if Kim Gun-hee was judged based on the criteria applied to representative Lee, she would be sentenced to at least life imprisonment.

In particular, Park Chan-dae took issue with the ruling party's claim that the special prosecution was unconstitutional.

At the time of Choi Soon-sil's manipulation of state affairs, he pointed out that the Constitutional Court judged that the right to recommend and appoint special prosecutor candidates was the legislative discretion of the National Assembly, so let's listen to the remarks of the meeting.

[Park Chan-dae / Minjoo Party floor leader: 70 percent of the people are in favor of Kim Gun-hee, and hundreds of thousands of people are taking to the streets for the third consecutive week, shouting for Kim Gun-hee to be independent. Kim Gun-hee's refusal to the independent counsel will signal the fall of the Yoon Suk Yeol regime.]

I will also look into the situation of the ruling party.

The ruling party plans to maintain the so-called "two-track" strategy, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, for the time being, representative Lee Jae-myung's plan is to respond to the political situation in two ways: highlighting judicial risks and people's livelihoods.

Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho said in the morning meeting that he would come up with legal measures to increase the effectiveness of returning election preservation costs to Lee.

The purpose is to prevent the Democratic Party of Korea from siphoning off 43.4 billion won in presidential election expenses if representative Lee is sentenced to prison in a violation of the Public Official Election Act.

[Choo Kyung-ho / People's Power Floor Leader: We urge the majority Democratic Party to share its responsibility and role in the minimum measure to properly use people's taxpayers' money.]

The ruling party also pressured the Democratic Party of Korea to recommend special inspectors and directors of the North Korean Human Rights Foundation, launch a special pension committee, and process the budget bill within the deadline.

CEO Han Dong-hoon met with small and medium-sized businessmen yesterday and today visited the Federation of Korean Trade Unions to continue people's livelihoods and policies.

Shin Ji-ho, the head of the strategic planning department, who is classified as a close ally, said in a radio interview that the Democratic Party's bad news is not a victory won by the ruling party on its own, so the next half of the year should be used as golden time.

However, it is considered a variable that the controversy over the party's bulletin board remains a detonator that can break the long-awaited unified atmosphere.
