At a press conference invited by the Seoul Foreign Correspondents’ Club held at the Press Center in Jung-gu, Seoul this afternoon, Representative Lee said, “The president planned a cover-up regarding the death of Corporal Chae of the Marine Corps last summer, and in the process, he committed the ‘investigation without sanctuary’ that the public loved during the time of prosecutor Yoon Seok-yeol.” “It has lost its value,” he claimed.
He pointed out, “If the standards established while investigating the two former presidents were applied to President Yoon, there would already be many problems.”
He continued, “The ruling party, which has defended the president, is also struggling without being able to come up with an alternative,” and asked, “How can there be any change in a situation where the helpers called ‘Hakkwan Yoon’, who have sympathized with the president’s many mistakes, still think they should lead the party?” criticized.
Regarding President Yoon’s proposal of a leadership meeting to Lee Jae-myeong, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, he said, “This is a situation where a prosecutor who had been investigating and punishing people all his life was forced into a cooperation he did not want after seeing the bitter taste of public sentiment,” and adding, “It is difficult to expect that the attempt at cooperation will be successful.” “It is difficult,” he predicted.
