[CARD NEWS] Lying and ignoring the public…
거짓말에 공권력 무시까지, 국민이 두렵지 않은가?
President Park Geun-hye made her stance that she rejects the prosecution’s probe, which reverses the statement in her second public apology that she is willing to accept the investigation.
2) “We will cooperate to get the investigation conducted next week.”
Reversing what she said last week, Park challenged the prosecution’s decision to label her a suspect, saying the decision is “a house of cards destined to collapse.”
3) Then she made yet another worrying remark.
“I will prepare for a future probe by a neutral independent counsel.”
Who will decide whether the independent counsel is neutral or not? And how?
4) The independent council bill on Choi-gate was passed on Nov. 17th. According to the bill, two members each from the opposition Minjoo Party of Korea and People’s Party will recommend a candidate for special prosecutor.
But Park’s use of the word “neutral” may intend to leave open the possibility that the Blue House will refuse to cooperate with the special prosecution.
5)
Regarding installing a new prime minister, the Blue House would “keep an eye out, as it is handled in different conditions,” adding that “the opposition parties’ demands are different from what president formerly suggested.”
6)
Two weeks ago, President Park met Chung Se-kyun, the Chairman of the National Assembly.
“I will appoint a prime minister recommended by the National Assembly and grant him the overall right of control over the cabinet.”
She easily overturned what she said to him.
7)
Rejecting the prosecution’s investigation,
Making up excuses to avoid an independent counsel,
and delaying the prime minister appointment.
The Blue House’s stubborn responses are further infuriating an already enraged people.
However, don’t expect these absurdities to end.
8)
“We wish that this controversy will be tied up as soon as possible through a legal procedure.”
Don’t these words practically imply the Blue House voluntarily wants to go through an impeachment process?
9)
Even worse, they said that the “written records of the president’s involvement or accomplice in the arraignment have no legal effect at all.”
While encouraging an impeachment process, they insist upon the ineffectiveness of the prosecution’s arraignment, which could be the initial grounds for launching an impeachment.
10) The Blue House is piling up barriers of self-denial and irony, and President Park Geun-hye is hiding behind them. Behind the ramparts are cowardly masterminds.
Can’t you see the people, grand sovereign?
11)
President Park must cooperate with the prosecutor’s investigation and accept the independent counsel without any complaint. She shall leave no comment on the impeachment and readily accept a new prime minister recommended by the National Assembly. Afterwards, she should leave her fate to the judicature, the National Assembly, and the Korean people. As the 18th president of the Republic of Korea, she shouldn’t let the country’s shame grow anymore and must clearly resolve this affair.
