The Democratic Party of Korea will reintroduce the 'Special Prosecutor Law on Insurrection,' which was discarded twice due to the government's exercise of the right to demand reconsideration (veto). Given that there are ongoing rumors about Han Duck-soo, the acting President and Prime Minister, and continued 'insider appointments' in government agencies, the party plans to strengthen the contents of the special prosecutor law before reintroducing it. The Democratic Party aims to process the reintroduced Special Prosecutor Law on Insurrection as early as before the presidential voting day.
Park Chan-dae, the acting leader of the Democratic Party and the floor leader, noted during a Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly on the 23rd, 'We will promptly reintroduce the Special Prosecutor Law on Insurrection,' adding, 'The newly introduced Special Prosecutor Law will be a stronger bill.'
Park stated, 'The truth of the insurrection incident, which will remain in history, can only be revealed through a special prosecutor,' and said, 'In court, the defendant Yoon Suk-yeol argued the legitimacy of the martial law with the absurdity that it is a value-neutral legal measure without any reflection.'
He emphasized, 'Despite being an accomplice to the insurrection, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo is already eyeing the next presidential election,' stating, 'In the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Economy and Finance, insider appointments continue to support the remnants of the insurrectionist forces, while the People Power Party is ignoring the special prosecutor, having the identity of an insurrectionist party.'
The Special Prosecutor Law on Insurrection had previously been introduced twice and passed through the National Assembly, but the government exercised its veto each time, resulting in a repeat vote. The repeated votes were rejected twice, and the bill was discarded. The Democratic Party plans to reintroduce a new Special Prosecutor Law on Insurrection within this week and aims to process it before the presidential voting day.
Park said, 'This is a declaration to continue destroying the constitutional order and a trick to annihilate the rule of law,' emphasizing, 'We can no longer allow the national mismanagement of the 'insurrection family' that is tightly united to conceal and extend the insurrection.'
The Democratic Party will establish a special standing committee, the 'Special Committee for Stopping the Concealment of the Insurrection and Insider Appointments,' in response to the 12-3 martial law and the government's recent personnel actions. Commissioner Jeong Il-young of the Democratic Party is set to serve as the chairperson.
