Ahn Cheol-soo, a People's Power lawmaker, said, ”If there is a second vote on the Special Prosecutor's Act for Private Choi, I will vote in favor... I am also a father with children” (South Korea)

Ahn Cheol-soo, a lawmaker from the ruling People Power Party, said on the 4th, "If we ever have to vote again on the Special Prosecutor's Act on Private Choi in the National Assembly, I will vote in favor of it."
On the same day, Rep. Ahn wrote on Facebook, "My opinion that I support the Special Prosecutor's Act for Private Choi remains unchanged. As a father with children, I care more about historical merit than my political gain or loss.
"I will only think about what path I can take that will not embarrass me," he wrote. On the 2nd, the Democratic Party and other opposition parties made an exclusive submission to the Special Prosecutor's Bill for Private Choi, but President Yoon Seok-yeol has requested a second hearing.
"(Petitioner Choi's death) was a case of a young soldier serving his country.
"This is an incident in which precious lives were lost while they were doing something wrong. It is the duty of a dignified nation to investigate the truth and provide appropriate treatment," he emphasized.
In addition, he did not participate in the vote on the Special Prosecutor's Law with the ruling party lawmakers at the plenary session on the 2nd.
He explained, "I left the plenary session to express my disagreement with the opposition's unilateral attempt to change the agenda and force the matter through."
Rep. Ahn said, "Even if a special investigation is necessary, it would be better to have it done like on the 2nd.
The formula is wrong. The atmosphere of cooperation between the ruling and opposition parties had been growing, but it was crushed in a day, and the government broke the promise of the ruling and opposition parties' agreement, even changing the agenda, and sitting back and watching the legislative rampage that controls the Diet as it pleases.
Is it okay to just watch?" he argued.
