On the 12th, candidate Park Young-sun, Mayor of the Democratic Party of Seoul, suggested the introduction of a special prosecution to the Democratic Party in connection with the speculation of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH). Candidate Park said at the inauguration ceremony of the Election Countermeasure Committee held in the Anguk Building in Jongno-gu, Seoul that morning, “the government joint investigation team announced yesterday, but citizens do not trust it.”
Candidate Park met with reporters after the inauguration ceremony and said, “In order to insulate from fierce speculation, the prosecution and the police must cooperate,” and “We have to do a special prosecution and do it quickly.” Candidate Park said, “It doesn’t matter who starts from,” the Democratic Party proposed the day before for a full-scale survey on real estate speculation of 300 members of the National Assembly.
Candidate Park said, “Since members of the National Assembly are in a position to fully access (development) information, it would be better to solve this problem cleanly through a special prosecution.” He also said, “I don’t think there is a reason for not being able to do a special prosecutor for the opposition party,” he said. “The special prosecutor doesn’t take much time.”
After seeing the results of the government’s first joint investigation the day before, candidate Park said that he would suggest his thoughts on the LH crisis to the party and the government if necessary.
