Song Young-gil reiterated his position that “the investigation into the National Convention money envelope is a politically planned investigation.” During a press conference held at the Jeollabuk-do Provincial Council, he claimed that the event was less likely to be criticized compared to public office elections, as it was an internal party election with guaranteed autonomy and had occurred two years ago.
During the prosecution’s summons the previous day, Song stated, “I exercised the authority given by the Constitution because I cannot trust the prosecution under Yoon Seok-yeol’s administration,” and “I will explain the unfairness to the judge.”
He also criticized the special department prosecutors for conducting an investigation that was unprecedented, stating that they will not back down and will try to convict even by conducting a separate investigation.
Regarding the controversy surrounding the electoral system’s proportional representation distribution method applied to the next year’s National Assembly general election, Song emphasized the importance of the anti-Yoon Seok-yeol forces winning and creating a party to gain justification and practical benefit.
He also criticized President Yoon Seok-yeol for his actions, accusing him of cutting the budget of Saemangeum significantly and passing the blame for failure to Jeonbuk, while convening the heads of the crowds and giving a tteokbokki-eating performance in Busan to gain public support for next year’s general election.
On the 8th, the former CEO Song was investigated by the prosecution for about 13 hours as a suspect on charges of violating the Political Parties Act and the Political Fund Act. He is known to have refused to give statements to most questions throughout the investigation.
