Jang Dong-hyuk, leader of the People Power Party, stated on July 12 that "President Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party, and the National Election Commission are one body," emphasizing that without dismantling this massive election cartel, fundamental issues cannot be resolved.
Jang made these remarks during a meeting with youth and university students in Busan's Suyeong District, addressing the recent 6.3 voting rights deprivation incident. He asserted that a "national special investigation" is necessary.
He questioned the neutrality and objectivity of the organizations mentioned by the Democratic Party regarding the special investigation, asking, "Are they truly a 'third party' that can guarantee neutrality, fairness, and objectivity?"
Jang further criticized the Democratic Party and President Lee for covering up nepotistic hiring practices within the Election Commission and for creating laws that threaten imprisonment for those who criticize the Commission. He noted that as the voices of youth and citizens calling for a national special investigation, re-elections, and reforms to the Election Commission and electoral system grow louder, the Democratic Party has resorted to silencing dissent.
He stated, "They have taken away our voting rights, and now they are stripping away our freedom of expression. We must stop this. If young people and citizens fight together, we can protect our freedom and voting rights. The People Power Party will stand by you until the end."
Earlier, on July 8, Jang visited the Incheon City Party office in Namdong District to hold a similar meeting with youth organizations in the metropolitan area.
