Jang Donghyuk Criticizes Ruling Party's Protest at Supreme Court: "A Struggle to Block President Lee's Trial Resumption"

On September 23, Jang Donghyuk, leader of the People Power Party, commented on the ruling party leadership's protest visit to the Supreme Court after Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Huidae rejected their request to re-nominate justices. He called it "the final struggle to prevent President Lee Jaemyeong's trial from proceeding," adding, "If the Chief Justice is impeached, the only impeachment left will be that of President Lee."

In a press conference that afternoon, Jang stated, "President Lee is talking about establishing a special investigation task force on insurrection, and Kim Minseok, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, is referring to what remains of the insurrection while even mentioning a special prosecutor for Cho Huitae. The people are watching closely to see who is actually undermining the constitutional order and shaking the separation of powers."

Jang further said, "They have resorted again to the worn-out insurrection card, hoping to divert the public's anger over the government's failures. How long will they keep harping on insurrection? The real, devastating economic insurrection is the real estate crisis, the investigation of agricultural land ownership, and single-asset leveraged ETFs."

Regarding the recent landmine explosion in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), he stated, "As the leader of the opposition, I planned to visit the site myself on behalf of the public, but the Ministry of National Defense refused. The landmine that exploded was not detected by equipment and was not located in a suspected zone, making it virtually certain that it was a North Korean wooden box mine."

Jang added, "It is our military personnel who have fallen victim to wooden box mines that North Korea recently planted in secret. This is not an accident; it is a clear provocation by North Korea. Nevertheless, President Lee is idly in the United States, spending his time appeasing Kim Jong Un. President Lee himself is the wooden box mine threatening South Korea's security."
