People Power Party Holds On-Site Supreme Council Meeting in Front of Cheong Wa Dae... Considers Constitutional Complaint Against Special Counsel Bill on Fabricated Indictments
Jang Donghyeok: "They will face the judgment of the people... The only price is impeachment."
The People Power Party visited Cheong Wa Dae on November 9 to call on the president to exercise his veto over the special prosecutor bill on fabricated indictments, which cleared a hurdle in the National Assembly plenary session last week. The party plans to consider filing a constitutional complaint, in addition to holding further street protests, to publicize what it says are the bill’s injustices.

Party leader Jang Dong-hyeok called the special prosecutor bill on fabricated indictments “the Lee Jae-myung Escape Law” and criticized it, saying, “President Lee, the Democratic Party of Korea, the special prosecutor and Cheong Wa Dae, all of whom took part in the escape project, will face judgment from the people.” He also said, “The price for abusing power entrusted by the people for one’s own benefit is removal from office—in other words, impeachment, and nothing else.”
Floor leader Jeong Jeom-sik stressed, “Please bear in mind that the moment [the president] signs this [special prosecutor] bill, the end of this administration will come sooner, and the date when President Lee’s trial resumes will also be brought forward.” He added, “The People Power Party will also consider filing a constitutional complaint after compiling the bill’s unconstitutional elements,” and announced, “We will also hold street protests alongside the people.”
After the Supreme Council meeting, the People Power Party continued a relay of solo protests in front of Cheong Wa Dae, led by its floor deputy leaders. Starting with Floor Leader Jeong, Policy Committee Chair Lim I-ja and Secretary-General Jeong Hee-yong, Assembly members Im Jong-deuk and Yoo Yong-won, along with Kim Ki-woong and Seo Myeong-ok, were set to take turns protesting in pairs every hour.
