The People Power Party said on the 12th, a day before the Lee Jae-myung administration's first parliamentary audit, that it would introduce a special counsel bill on violent investigations in connection with the case of a Yangpyeong County, Gyeonggi Province official, identified as A, who took his own life at home after being questioned by Special Counsel Min Joong-ki's team.
Floor leader Song Eon-seok said at a press briefing at the National Assembly that afternoon, "Breaking the bipartisan agreement and ramming through a tougher special counsel bill created a monster special counsel that inflicted violence on people the state should protect and ultimately led to death," adding, "We will introduce a special counsel bill on violent investigations by Special Counsel Min Joong-ki's team."
Song said, "I once again ask the National Assembly speaker and floor leader Kim Byung-kee," adding, "I ask that a plenary session be convened as soon as possible to handle a special counsel bill on Min Joong-ki's special counsel, which drove a dignified citizen to death."
He said, "The political police are going even further than the special counsel, committing atrocities against humanity that are outrageous. They are not disclosing the deceased's suicide note and are not even showing it to the bereaved," adding, "On top of that, they say they will conduct a forced autopsy on the body against the wishes of the family. The police should immediately return the suicide note to the bereaved."
He continued, "We received a shocking tip. Special Counsel Min Joong-ki reportedly carried out a search and seizure at the postpartum care center of a female Deputy Director at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport who had given birth just two months earlier. The mother was so shocked that she left the care center immediately," adding, "Is this a normal investigation? It is an atrocity disguised as an investigation and violence masquerading as legality."
Song also requested ▲ a parliamentary inquiry into the Muan Airport disaster ▲ and a current-issues questioning session regarding President Lee Jae-myung and the first lady pressing ahead with an appearance on an entertainment program at the time of the National Information Resources Service fire.
