Presidential office strongly criticizes remarks calling the president a ”murderer” - ”The Democratic Party of Korea is responsible for the death of the deceased”
On the 14th, the Presidential Office issued a statement regarding Jung Hyun-hee, a member of the Democratic Party, referring to President Yoon Seok-yeol and his wife Kim Gun-hee as "murderers."
"The unspeakable abuse he made against the President and First Lady of the Republic of Korea and his coarse words based on one-sided, unfounded allegations are an infringement of the human rights of a human being.
Presidential Spokesperson Jeong Hye-jeong held a briefing at the Presidential Office in Seoul on the same day and said, "The disappointment of public officials is a great thing."
"It is regrettable that the opposition party is using his death as a political tool for another political offensive," he said.
"It was the Democratic Party that oppressed the public service community and led to the death of the deceased, including by making threatening remarks that the death of the deceased could be taken away," he said.
"We demand an official apology and a convincing explanation from the Democratic Party of Korea. The National Assembly, which should be debating people's livelihoods, is making irresponsible remarks.
"The people will be angry that the area has become a liberated zone where people can spit out their blood," he added.
In response to Jeon's remarks, members of the People's Power Legislation and Judiciary Committee, including Rep. Song Seok-jun, said, "We are very sorry about the hearing and the related matter.
The meeting, in which the ruling and opposition parties continued to argue heatedly with the microphones turned off, was adjourned after about 50 minutes.
