On July 1, lawmakers Na Kyung-won, Kim Ki-hyun, Yoon Sang-hyun, and Kwon Young-jin from the People Power Party condemned allegations related to former President Yoon Suk Yeol's arrest interference, calling it "political terror."
They held a press conference at the National Assembly, stating, "Kwon Chang-young's special investigation team is transforming our political expressions into a serious crime of 'obstruction of special public duty.'" They emphasized that this matter was one that even the previously intense 'insurrection investigation' could not act upon.
The lawmakers criticized the government for allegedly erasing President Lee Jae-myung's real crimes through 'dismissal of charges' while fabricating nonexistent crimes against opposition lawmakers who voice dissent against the administration. They described this as a "despicable retaliatory investigation."
Additionally, they accused the special investigation team of engaging in a media campaign to sway public opinion, labeling it a crime of 'disclosure of investigative facts.' They also claimed that the team was conducting illegal investigations under the pretext of written inquiries. Finally, they warned that if the special investigation team proceeds with charges against them, they would file complaints against all team members for 'distortion of law.'
After the press conference, Kim Ki-hyun told reporters, "It seems the special investigation team is filled with a desire to succeed through competition for loyalty. They will inevitably face historical judgment, and before that, they will be judged for their distortion of law."
