When this happened, they launched an offensive. The statement said it was a violation of political neutrality and a serious illegal act, and that legal action would be considered.
On the 22nd, Kwon Chil-sun, the chief spokesperson of the Democratic Party, released a written statement.
``I've heard the outrageous news that President Yoon is trying to remove the chairman of the ruling party's emergency task force, who has been in office for less than a month,'' he said through Leafing.
Chief Spokesperson Kwon said, ``The President's Office clarified that ``Yongsan is not involved,'' but Chairman Han ``rejected the request to resign,'' and ``My term ends in the general election.''
I understand that it will continue until after that,'' he said. Chairman Han himself acknowledged the pressure from the presidential office to resign." He continued, ``No president has ever intervened in party affairs so brazenly.
I thought they had expelled former president Jun-seok (Lee Jun-seok) and installed former president Kim Ki-hyun, but now they are trying to force Chairman Han, who was brought in as an Amakudari, out as well? The president's intervention in party affairs is politically neutral.
"This is a serious illegal act that could not only be violated, but also subject to criminal punishment." ``Furthermore, we will protect Mrs. Kim Kun-hee, whose reason for interfering in party affairs has become the center of public suspicion.''
This is a clear conflict of interest. It is not enough to veto a special prosecutor's bill to cover up the illegal activities of one's own spouse; any words can be excused for interfering in the affairs of the ruling party.
There is no room for solution.'' Prior to this, Chief Spokesperson Kwon told reporters after the Supreme Committee meeting that day, ``I personally confirmed that Chairman Han received a request from the presidential office to resign.
"We judge this to be interference by the president's office in party affairs and a violation of political neutrality." He also emphasized, ``If we have to take action after legal consideration, we will definitely do so.''
