The National Assembly's arrest motion for Kwon Jeong-dong, a lawmaker from the People's Power Party, will be voted on between the 9th and 10th of next month. The Democratic Party of Korea calls for a ”sincere apology” (South Korea)

On the 31st, the ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPJ) asked Kwon Seong-dong, a lawmaker from the People's Power Party, for whom the special prosecutor had requested an arrest warrant on suspicion of illegal political fundraising, "Why did you bow so deeply to the Unification Church president?
From now on, he should bow deeply in front of the people and apologize sincerely," he said.
He said that Congressman Kwon's denial of the charges, saying, "I greeted him, but I didn't receive any money or gifts," was a "mockery for the public."
"The testimony and evidence that he received a total of 10,058,000 yen is clear. The true nature of the incident cannot be obscured with excuses or excuses," he said.
In addition, "Kwon's representatives are Yoon Seok-yeol and Kim Gun-hee.
"They must also clearly bear political responsibility as accomplices in a political coup that aided the government's monopoly on state affairs and attempted to replace the presidential candidate," he said.
"The 'Unification Church Gate', which has damaged party democracy, must be investigated promptly and thoroughly, the full details of the incident must be made clear, and those responsible must be severely punished," they said.
The motion to approve the arrest of Representative Kwon is expected to be voted on at the National Assembly plenary session on the 9th or 10th of next month. The motion to approve the arrest was reported at the plenary session on the first day of the regular Diet session.
If the vote is approved, it is expected to be put to a vote at the plenary session on the 9th. The 9th was the first plenary session since National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik returned from a business trip to China to attend the Victory Day celebrations on the 3rd.
It is expected that the bill to approve the arrest will be submitted to the National Assembly after the 1st of next month, and then voted on at the plenary session on the 10th. The 10th is the day when the power of the people will be exchanged.
Prior to this date, Rep. Kwon claimed, "There are suspicions that the Democratic Party of Korea is trying to conceal the schedule for the speech by the opposition negotiating group representative by voting on the arrest consent motion."
Regarding this, House Spokesperson Paik met with reporters and said, "It is misleading to see this as political maneuvering. The claim that the Democratic Party of Korea is fabricating information is completely groundless."
