Opposition Party Slams Ruling Party’s Attempt to Shield Lee Jae-myung from Corruption Investigations

The People Power Party (PPP) has accused the Democratic Party (DP) of using legal tactics to shield its leader, Lee Jae-myung, from ongoing corruption investigations. The PPP claims that the DP’s recent attempts to block investigations into Lee’s alleged financial impropriety are a blatant abuse of power and a disregard for the rule of law. The PPP’s criticism centers around the DP’s efforts to prevent the prosecution from fully investigating Lee, citing procedural technicalities and calling for a halt to the probes. The party’s spokesperson stated that the DP’s actions are motivated by a desire to protect their leader, not to uphold justice. The DP has defended its actions, arguing that the prosecution’s investigations are politically motivated and aimed at weakening the party. They claim that the investigations are baseless and intended to disrupt Lee’s political career. The DP maintains its stance that Lee is innocent of all accusations and will cooperate with any legitimate legal process.
