Jeong Jeom-sik: "President Lee's Political Hometown Is Venezuela, Not Seongnam"

▲ People Power Party Floor Leader Jeong Jeom-sik speaks during a floor strategy meeting held at the National Assembly on November 6.

As the passage of the Democratic Party-led special counsel bill on "fabricated indictments" enters its final countdown, People Power Party Floor Leader Jeong Jeom-sik stated, "The 160 Democratic Party collaborators who aided in this audacious organized crime will also surely pay the price for their actions."

Floor Leader Jeong made the remarks at a floor strategy meeting at the National Assembly today (November 6), saying, "The special counsel bill to dismiss charges and fabricate claims being pursued by the Lee Jae-myung administration is inherently a three-fold crime of fabrication: fabricating truth, fabricating language, and fabricating history."

He continued, "Calling the dismissal of charges to erase President Lee's criminal trials a 'fabricated indictment' is a manipulation of language to deceive the public," adding, "The Lee Jae-myung administration of fabrication cannot escape judgment by the people and the courts."

Regarding the first broadcast last night of the YouTube program "President's Y" featuring President Lee Jae-myung, Floor Leader Jeong said, "At that very hour, a filibuster was underway in the National Assembly plenary chamber against the special counsel bill designed to erase the president's trials." He added, "After instigating a parliamentary coup that undermines the Constitution, the president staged an appearance on YouTube as if engaging in great communication with the public. It is a terrible contradiction."

He continued, "With soft background music playing, he read lines from a drama to artificially force a sense of human warmth," adding, "For President Lee, communication is merely an extension of dictatorship. He is copying Venezuela's Chávez to the letter. At this point, President Lee's true political hometown is not Seongnam, but Venezuela."

He also emphasized, "It is the arrogance of an autocrat who says only what he wants to say, regardless of whether the national judicial system collapses or not," adding, "Trampling on the rule of law just like Chávez will ultimately lead to his own ruin."
