The People's Power Party and Lee Jae-myung both say that the decision to refer the election law case of the Democratic Party's presidential primary candidate to a full panel should be made before the presidential election (South Korea)

On the 22nd, the People's Power Party (ruling party) stated, "We recognize the seriousness of this case and the national character of the case, and we are determined to take appropriate measures to protect the national character, in response to the Supreme Court's decision to refer the case of the Democratic Party's presidential primary candidate Lee Jae-myung to a full bench."
"If they are keenly aware of the public's interest, they must respond with a swift and clear decision that is in line with voters' common sense and the principles of the law before June 3," he said.
Ham In-kyung, spokesperson for the People's Power Party, said in a written commentary on the same day that "it is the last bastion where truth leads to justice."
Ham wrote, "An en banc panel is a procedure applied when it is necessary to change previous precedents, or when there are major social repercussions or major cases that have attracted public attention.
The issue is that the appellate court interpreted the legal principles in a biased way from the perspective of the defendant, Lee Jae-myung, rather than that of the voters, and this also supports the Supreme Court's intention that this case is directly linked to "the trust of all voters in the Republic of Korea."
Ham said, "During the course of this case, Lee has repeatedly delayed the trial using various techniques, including refusal to serve documents. He has violated the 'privilege of non-prosecution' under Article 84 of the Constitution.
"The president-elect has been evasive in his criminal trial, and has used the kimchi soup remark to cover it up," he said.
If a trial that began before his election continues after he becomes president and he is found guilty, his election may be invalidated.
"The Constitution makes it clear that there is a right to vote," he said. "The people will wait for a legitimate reason, but they will not respond to this kind of subterfuge that holds time hostage and plays tricks on them.
Justice must be served swiftly to correct candidate Lee's bad attitude."
