Conservative opposition parties react negatively to special prosecutor's investigation, accusing it of ”political manipulation against the opposition” - South Korea

On the 3rd, South Korea's conservative opposition party, the People Power Party, strongly criticized the forced investigations by three special prosecutors targeting former President Yoon's wife and cabinet members, strengthening its oppositional stance against the ruling party.
The special prosecutor's team, which is investigating allegations of civil unrest surrounding the declaration of emergency martial law in December, conducted searches of the homes of former floor leader Choi Kyung-ho and others, prompting the party leadership to unanimously call it "political maneuvering."
At the same time, they called for an immediate halt to the ruling Democratic Party's plans to amend the "Three More Powerful Special Prosecution Acts" and establish a "Special Trial Chamber for Insurrection."
The party's chairman, Jang Dong-hyuk, held an emergency Supreme Committee meeting at the National Assembly that morning and said, "Last year,
In order to uncover the truth behind what happened in the last few hours on the night of February 3rd, the Democratic Party even dusted off the floor of its floor leader's office.
"We declare today, September 3rd, to be the day when we end our 'criticism of the insurrectionary political party.'" He also said, "The other day, a group of people were forced to march to the party headquarters, which is the heart of the party's 5 million members.
They broke into the room and tried to steal the party membership list, and yesterday they raided the floor leader's room, the heart of the floor. This is a despicable political move to cut off the limbs of our party and put a gag in the mouth of the opposition party.
The special investigation team for the civil unrest conducted searches of the homes of former floor leader Choi and party officials on suspicion of obstructing a resolution to lift martial law at the time of the declaration of emergency martial law.
They are also searching the office of Rep. Cho Ji-Ji-Jeon, whose phone call records with former Defense Minister Kim Yong-Hyeon were discovered on the day of the incident.
Furthermore, on the same day, the special counsel issued search warrants for the People's Power House Representative's office and the House Administrative Bureau.
This follows the move by the special investigation team on Kim Gun-Hee last month to search the party headquarters and the home of Rep. Kwon Seong-dong.
The direct investigation into the party leadership has further fueled anger within the party. The party has emphasized that the special counsel's investigation is an attempt to "suppress the opposition party." Chang said, "Ironically, yesterday's house search...
It has become clear that the accusations that the Democratic Party is a "party of rebellion" were nothing more than an empty shell," he said. "Starting from last winter, through spring and summer, and just yesterday, as the autumn winds began to blow, the special counsel
The search warrant that has been issued is nothing more than a letter of apology, admitting that the criticisms made up until now have been meaningless."
