Na Kyung-won of the People Power Party said on the 20th, “If the investigation into the assassination threat against Representative Lee Jae-myung is not requested, I will file a counterclaim for false accusation.”
Earlier, the Democratic Party revealed that multiple lawmakers received reports claiming, “There are plans to assassinate Representative Lee with smuggled Russian-made handguns.” In response, Representative Na raised suspicions of “staged events,” and the Democratic Party has reported her for defamation.
On this day, Representative Na stated on Facebook, “If there is an assassination risk report, isn’t it natural to disclose the informant and the source of the tip to file a lawsuit and request an investigation?” She continued, “However, according to the confirmation from the police by the office, there has been no report or request for an investigation related to the assassination threat against Lee Jae-myung so far,” and she added, “Isn’t this casting suspicion of a staged event?”
Representative Na said, “To receive an assassination tip without taking any action is tantamount to complicity in the assassination,” and insisted, “If the Democratic Party of Lee Jae-myung continues to refrain from requesting an investigation, it is no different from admitting that the assassination threat is a staged event.” She urged, “In that case, there is no choice but to file a counterclaim for false accusation,” and called for the Democratic Party to immediately request an investigation.
