"Guaranteeing the independence of the judiciary" ahead of the first trial of perjury...People's Power "Reducing Retaliation Budget"

[Anchor]
Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, stressed at a party meeting this morning that the independence of the judiciary should be thoroughly guaranteed.

The remarks came three days before the first trial of perjury teacher charges, so attention is focused on the meaning.

In the midst of this, the People's Power criticized the Democratic Party for using the right to review the National Assembly's budget as a retaliatory measure against the opposition-led decision to cut the special activity cost of the presidential office yesterday.

Let's listen to the remarks from the two-party meeting.

[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party leader: I've been dragged to court for as many as two years, but it was also the judiciary of the Republic of Korea that finally returned to the court and found its place after a few twists and turns. I would say that it is not desirable to criticize the entire judiciary. I'm telling you that there are far more capable judges who are conscientious and have a strong sense of justice.]

[Kim Sang-hoon / Chairman of the People's Power Policy Committee: After all, it can only be seen as retaliation for the prosecution, police, and the Board of Audit and Inspection to investigate and audit Lee Jae-myung, the representative of the Democratic Party of Korea, and the Moon Jae In government's crimes and corruption. The budget is the taxpayers' money. It is not the taxpayers' money that the people asked the Democratic Party to use to paralyze the national organization, tie the hands and feet of the government, and defend the crimes of representative Lee Jae-myung and the Democratic Party.
