Jeong Jeomsik: "Seongnam-Gyeonggi Are Seonggol, Ruling Party Six-dupum? ... Blue House Audit Shielding Ends in Self-Destruction"

People Power Party floor leader Jung Jeom-sik said on the 29th that the failure of Kim Hyunji, head of the presidential office's secretariat, and Jeong Jinsang, former director of political affairs coordination at the Democratic Party of Korea leader's office, to appear at the National Assembly's audit of the presidential office meant that “the government and ruling party gave up on their own chance to address the allegations surrounding the Seongnam-Gyeonggi network,” adding, “The end result of a shielded audit will be the regime's self-destruction.”

Speaking at a Supreme Council meeting at the National Assembly that morning, Jung said, “How powerful are these people that the Democratic Party is going all out to shield them from the audit? This is why people say the Seongnam-Gyeonggi network is the seonggol, the president's legal team is the jingol, the Democratic Party is the yukdupum, and everyone else is untouchable,” making the remarks.

Jung said, “Of the 364 executives at public institutions appointed by the Lee Jaemyung administration, 74 have ties to President Lee and the Democratic Party, and 23 are classified as part of the Seongnam-Gyeonggi network.” He added, “A miracle has occurred in which members of the Seongnam-Gyeonggi network finish last in interviews and document screenings but ultimately pass in first place.”

Regarding the failure to select figures from Seongnam and Gyeonggi as witnesses for the National Assembly audit, Jung continued, “The government and ruling party have admitted that the issue of the Seongnam-Gyeonggi network is not merely an allegation but the truth.” He added, “The more they try to hide the truth through their power, the more people will come to know it.”

Meanwhile, regarding a bill to amend the Court Organization Act, proposed by the pan-ruling bloc, that would require the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to nominate at least twice as many candidates as there are vacancies for Supreme Court justices, Jung said, “This is clearly unconstitutional and is tantamount to telling the Chief Justice to hand over the nomination authority to the president.” He added, “The judiciary should resume President Lee's trial.”
