Opposition parties, Myung Tae-kyun's Gori 'Suspected Intervention in First Lady Kim' Offensive

'Nomination of Kim Young-sun, an undisclosed pollster,' claims

Opposition parties issue an order to accompany Myung Tae-kyun and Kim Young-sun for 'non-attendance'

[Anchor]
In the third day of parliamentary audit, the ruling and opposition parties strongly confronted each other over allegations of intervention in the nomination of First Lady Kim Gun-hee.

The opposition party issued an order to accompany Myung Tae-kyun, a key figure in the alleged intervention of the nomination, who did not attend the parliamentary audit.

The key to the suspicion of intervening in the nomination of Kim Gun-hee is that Kim intervened through Myung Tae-kyun during the 2022 by-elections and this year's general elections, and in the process of nominating former lawmaker Kim Young-sun.

On top of that, the Democratic Party of Korea brought up a media report containing a record of Myung that he conducted a closed poll worth more than 370 million won for President Yoon Suk Yeol during the last presidential election and did not receive a price.

The Democratic Party of Korea claimed that it was a clear intervention in the nomination, saying that Mrs. Kim accepted former lawmaker Kim's nomination for the district in return.

[Yang Boo-nam / Democratic Party of Korea: They didn't pay back the public opinion poll fees they had to give and they nominated him in return. It's a painful story for the public to hear.]

The opposition party also pushed ahead with issuing a "companion order" that forced the attendance of Myung and former lawmaker Kim, who did not appear at the parliamentary inspection, because they were investigating the prosecution.

[Shin Jeong-hoon / Chairman of the National Assembly's Administrative Security Committee, Democratic Party of Korea: You can refuse to testify under oath even during the investigation, but it is only a premise to refuse to testify and cannot be considered a legitimate reason to refuse to appear as a witness.]

The ruling party protested against witnesses who submitted a statement of reasons for not attending, saying that the opposition party excessively overstated the accompanying order.

Another Myung is just a so-called 'politician', and President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife are victims.

The opposition party also tightened its offensive against Mrs. Kim with the "suspected manipulation of Deutsche Motors stock prices" at the National Policy Committee.

[Cheon Jun-ho / Minjoo Party member: Kim earned 2.3 billion won in total during the stock manipulation process, the Korea Exchange said in a strange trading hearing report. The Financial Services Commission also has this report, right?]

The ruling party countered with the controversy over the financial investment income tax, which the Democratic Party of Korea has yet to decide whether to implement.

[Kang Myung-koo / People's Power: I think it may be absurd to implement a gold tax next year beyond irrationality.]

At the Environment and Labor Commission, lawmakers from the ruling and opposition parties quarreled over whether to apologize for the "nationality of the Japanese era" remarks during the personnel hearing of Minister of Employment and Labor Kim Moon-soo in August.

As expected, the controversy surrounding First Lady Kim Gun-hee emerges as the biggest issue in the parliamentary audit,
As the
ruling and opposition parties clash strongly every day, there are concerns that various issues of people's livelihoods are being put on the back burner.
