Han Dong-hoon: 'Are Crime Victims and Citizens Maggots to the Democratic Party?'

South Korean lawmaker Han Dong-hoon fiercely criticized the Democratic Party's proposal to completely abolish the prosecution's supplementary investigation rights. He questioned the party's priorities, asking, "Are crime victims and citizens maggots to the Democratic Party?" Han's remarks were a direct response to a statement by Park Jie-won, a senior Democratic Party figure, who argued for the complete abolition of these rights, effectively granting police sole investigative authority. Han accused the Democrats of prioritizing criminals over victims, suggesting their aim was to protect individuals like Jang Yoon-ki, a convicted murderer. "If the Democratic Party is protecting 'jang' (a metaphor for something valuable, here implying criminals), are they Jang Yoon-ki and manipulators?" Han asked. He further stated his goal to "rebuild conservatism and achieve a landslide victory in the 2028 general election to normalize things."
