Kim Min-seok, leader of the Democratic Party, publicly opposed the 'Special Prosecutor Law on Manipulated Indictments' that passed the National Assembly on November 6. He condemned the People Power Party for its ongoing protests, stating, "I strongly denounce the People Power Party for coming to the Blue House and talking about impeachment. What right do they have to mention impeachment?"
During a Supreme Council meeting at the Gwangju City Hall in Jeonnam, Kim remarked, "The special prosecutor law has excluded all the issues that the People Power Party used as excuses to oppose it. Yet, they continue their irresponsible political attacks and incitement through unlimited debate and protests outside the Assembly."
He added, "The targeted, coercive, and manipulated investigations were the reality of the political prosecution under the Yoon administration. The actions that trampled on constitutional order and democracy to crush a single individual have become the seeds of insurrection." He emphasized the need to thoroughly uncover the malicious and cunning nature of these manipulated indictments, asserting that the special prosecutor law will reveal the truth and hold those responsible accountable.
Kim also criticized Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae, stating, "The judiciary, which remained silent during the night of insurrection, is buying time for the resurgence of insurrection forces."
He pointed out the disparity in judicial proceedings, saying, "When intervening in the 2025 presidential election, 70,000 pages of case records were reviewed in just nine days, yet the trial for insurrection has only been held once in three months. The inaction regarding the insurrection trial is a setup to release the insurrectionists."
Kim warned, "The likelihood of former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo's release is increasing. His release would be a declaration of war against the people by the insurrection forces. This is absolutely unacceptable. The Democratic Party will firmly correct the political interference and judicial corruption of the Cho Hee-dae judiciary."
