People Power Party Forms Special Committee to Block 'President Lee Trial Cancellation'… Joo Jin-woo Appointed Chair

The People Power Party (PPP) has formed a 'Special Committee to Block the Cancellation of President Lee's Trial' and appointed Rep. Joo Jin-woo as its chairman.

The PPP announced that it approved the motion during a Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly today (June 15), according to Chief Spokesperson Choi Bo-yoon.

"It is expected that President Lee and the Democratic Party of Korea will push for a special counsel act to drop the charges as a top priority in the second half of the National Assembly in an attempt to cancel President Lee's trial and 'erase his crimes,'" Chief Spokesperson Choi explained during a briefing. "We are forming this special committee to raise awareness about these atrocities regarding the trial cancellation and to prevent the forced passage of such legislation."

Rep. Joo, who will lead the special committee, previously served as the chairman of the 'Special Committee to Block the Special Counsel Act on Dropping Charges' under the central election campaign committee during the June 3 local election period, where he participated in campaign rallies across the country.

Regarding the appointment of Chairman Joo, Chief Spokesperson Choi stated, "As the special committee that operated during the local elections has concluded, we decided to establish a permanent special committee for this issue and have Rep. Joo continue that role."
