The leadership of the People Power Party is broadening its front against the government, focusing on issues of voting rights infringement and the abolition of supplementary investigative powers.
On July 26, Jang Dong-hyuk, the party leader, stated on his Facebook page, "The claim that manipulation of the Central Election Management Commission's systems is impossible has been proven false. We must expedite a special investigation."
During his visits to Gimhae and Daegu the previous day, Jang emphasized that he stood with young citizens protesting against the infringement of voting rights, asserting, "The public is now aware of who is right and who is wrong. We can no longer trust the joint investigation team or the courts."
He added, "Until we reclaim our lost voting rights and restore democracy in South Korea, the people's voices will not be silenced. Anyone who ignores this will not escape the judgment of the public."
As the party leader pressures the government and ruling party regarding the voting rights issue, Jung Jeom-sik, the party's floor leader, raised concerns about the current state of supplementary investigative powers.
On Facebook, he remarked, "The entire nation is in confusion over the existence of supplementary investigative powers, yet President Lee remains silent. Why is someone who is so involved in the party's highest committee elections not speaking on this matter?"
Jung further criticized, "The president is evading political responsibility for actions that undermine the rule of law, only concerned with ensuring his own safety after leaving office. Is this how politics should be conducted?"
He also pointed out that members of the Democratic Party are reportedly cautious of strong party members ahead of their upcoming convention. He stated, "The president and ruling party are placing the lives and safety of the public on the scales of political engineering, engaging in a sordid bargain. The entire nation is watching. If the abolition of supplementary investigative powers passes in the National Assembly and the president even relinquishes his right to request reconsideration, both the government and ruling party will face downfall."
