President Lee Jae-myung on the 4th, regarding the so-called "fabricated indictment special prosecutor bill," said, "I ask the ruling party to make a judgment after going through a process of gathering public opinion and deliberation on the timing and procedures."
Hong Ik-pyo, senior presidential secretary for political affairs, held a briefing at Chunchugwan that day and stated accordingly that the president said, "Through the parliamentary inquiry, a considerable portion of the illegal acts and unjust investigations carried out by the Yoon Suk-yeol administration and political prosecutors at the time has been revealed, and a public consensus has also formed on the need for a special prosecutor's investigation to correct this."
The president went on to say, "Through the special prosecutor, we must uncover the truth and set judicial justice right," adding, "However, regarding the specific timing and procedures, I ask the ruling Democratic Party of Korea to make a judgment after going through a process of gathering public opinion and deliberation."
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party of Korea proposed the "Yoon Suk-yeol administration fabricated indictment special prosecutor bill" on the 30th of last month, and the bill includes granting a special prosecutor investigating 12 cases, including the president's criminal case, the authority to withdraw indictments.
