Former People Power Party presidential candidate Kim Moon-soo stated on the 5th, “I have no ambition to become the party leader,” adding, “This is not the time for infighting over positions. We, too, would be entering the same heap of trash.”
On this day, former candidate Kim mentioned during the disbanding ceremony at the Yeouido office in Seoul that while he has no ambition for the presidency, he has even less for the party leadership.
He strongly criticized the three special investigation laws (sedition special investigation law, Kim Keon-hee special investigation law, and Chae Sang-byeong special investigation law) that the Democratic Party of Korea independently processed in the plenary session on this day.
Particularly targeting the sedition special investigation law, he claimed, “They will define former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, the Yoon Seok-youl government cabinet, and our party as sedition forces,” adding, “Thus, they can dissolve it as an unconstitutional party. All of the statements about whom this sedition special investigation law targets and how it will unfold are revealed in major remarks from the Democratic Party.”
He further noted, “Yet here we are, sitting and fighting over who will become the party leader,” questioning, “Will this suffice? What difference does it make whether or not someone becomes the party leader?”
Regarding the 'Supreme Court Justice Expansion Act' pursued by the Democratic Party, he remarked, “They say they will appoint 26 Supreme Court justices within a five-year term, implying they will control everything at their discretion,” criticizing the People Power Party by stating, “Every day we face enormous news developments in front of us, but our party is sitting and disputing who will be the next party leader, engaging in this useless activity.”
Former candidate Kim also commented, “(Today is) more a national salvation launch ceremony than a disbanding ceremony,” adding, “There are members of the National Assembly receiving salaries and having staff. It is in the dimension of these people waking up and saving the country.”
