Hye-in Yong, a member of the Basic Income Party, expressed his position that he would vote once morest the motion for the arrest of Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myeong at the plenary session of the National Assembly on the 27th. At a press conference at the National Assembly on the 24th, Congressman Yong said, “I want to express my unwavering intention to the motion to arrest Lee.” Because it doesn’t,” he said. Rep. Yong said, “The prosecution requested an arrest warrant for CEO Lee and asked for responsibility for breach of trust in the Daejang-dong incident, but they might not provide persuasive material evidence or valid legal principles to support it.” The only thing that can be confirmed through the prosecution’s irrational numbers is the aspect of the political prosecution that ‘will do anything for prosecution’.” She added, “This arrest motion aims to intimidate the opposition and discourage parliamentary activity.” Rep. Yong also argued that the reason for the arrest of Lee was insufficient as the fear of escape or destruction of evidence was low. He said, “Representative Lee is the representative of the 1st opposition party and a member of the National Assembly. The possibility of housing fraud or fear of escape is significantly reduced,” he said. “The prosecution has already conducted hundreds of seizures and searches, and it has also been the target of criticism for reckless seizure and search of Gyeonggi Provincial Office and others. The risk of destroying evidence is also very low.” “The rejection of the motion for arrest does not mean that the investigation or prosecution itself becomes impossible,” he said. added. Meanwhile, following being reported at the plenary session of the National Assembly on the same day, the motion for the arrest of Lee is expected to be voted on at the plenary session on the 27th.
