Ruling, main opposition parties issue statements on Lee Myung-bak probe
- 6 years ago
And over at the National Assembly,... rival political parties are at odds over the prosecution's summoning of former President Lee Myung-bak.
Saying Lee's denial of the charges insults the Korean public,... the leader of the ruling Democratic Party Choo Mi-ae urged the prosecution conduct a thorough investigation.
Choo said the fact Lee is facing about 20 charges makes it serious enough to be listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.
And quite a different mood from the conservative main opposition Liberty Korea Party,...
The opposition party renewed the ex-president's political revenge claim,... accusing the liberal Moon Jae-in administration of using the investigation for political gains before gubernatorial and mayoral elections in mid-June.
