The People Power Party proposed cooperation to the Reform Party to push what it calls the "Unification Church gate special counsel." The People Power Party labeled allegations that the Unification Church provided political funds to figures in the Democratic Party of Korea as a "power-related crime" and said it will move to uncover the truth.
Jang Dong-hyeok of the People Power Party said at a supreme council meeting held at the National Assembly on the morning of the 15th, "Special Counsel Min Joong-ki heard testimony that the Unification Church also gave money to the Democratic Party but sat on it until the statute of limitations expired," adding, "This case is a clear cover-up of a power-related crime involving President Lee Jae-myung."
He added, "There is no clearer reason for a special counsel than this. The Lee Jae-myung administration is an unprecedentedly oppressive administration," and said, "To stop this, everyone must unite and fight back. The process of joining forces with the Reform Party to pass the Unification Church special counsel bill is the start."
Jang also said, "The Democratic Party is rejecting the Unification Church gate special counsel while insisting on pushing ahead with their own second special counsel," adding, "They intend to cover up their crimes and continue fomenting insurrection charges and political retaliation."
Floor leader Song Eon-seog of the same party also said, "We must implement the Unification Church gate special counsel right now to get to the bottom of the allegations of political funds between the Unification Church and the Democratic Party. This is the people's order," adding, "We make clear that we will consult with an open attitude to work with other opposition parties."
