Rebuilding Korea Party: "Yoon Guilty of Election Act Violation... Election Commission Should Consider Seizing People Power Party Headquarters"

The Rebuilding Korea Party said on November 4 that the People Power Party's headquarters should be considered for provisional seizure after the Seoul High Court found former President Yoon Suk Yeol guilty of violating the Public Official Election Act.

In a statement issued that day, Park Byeongeon, a senior spokesperson for the party, said, "Former President Yoon's claim that he had never met the shaman known as Geonjin was a lie. Today, the Seoul High Court, following the first trial, found Yoon Suk Yeol guilty, ruling that his false claims about his relationship with Geonjin during the presidential campaign constituted a serious false statement that could invalidate his election." The invalidation of an election takes effect only after a sentence is finalized by the Supreme Court.

Former President Yoon Suk Yeol listens to the court's ruling during the appellate sentencing hearing in his violation of the Public Official Election Act case at the Seoul High Court in Seocho-gu, Seoul, on the 4th. Yonhap News Agency.

Park criticized the Yoon Suk Yeol-Kim Keon Hee administration, saying, "From its very inception, it deceived the public and, in effect, won the presidency through fraud." He added, "Did the People Power Party not know about this? The party turned a blind eye to false explanations given to the public that could have been uncovered through a thorough vetting of the candidate, and brought Yoon Suk Yeol in as its presidential candidate before making him president."

"Now it is time to take responsibility for this enormous lie," he continued. "The People Power Party still has to return to the state the 39.7 billion won it received in public funding for the presidential election. The National Election Commission needs to take measures to preserve the 39.7 billion won." He also said, "The party should actively consider taking preservation measures, including provisional seizure of its headquarters in Yeouido."
