The main opposition party leader on Sunday threatened to impeach the prime minister this week, for allegedly accepting bribes in 2013 in a burgeoning graft scandal involving the Park Geun-hye administration’s top officials.
Rep. Moon Jae-in, chair of the New Politics Alliance for Democracy, said accusations that Prime Minister Lee Wan-koo took 30 million won ($28,000) from the late Sung Woan-jong justified an impeachment motion at the National Assembly. Lee has denied taking the money.
“Prime Minister Lee must resign. His involvement in the case is taking up his time and energy,” Moon said. “That impedes him from running this country. This is also eventually harmful to the Park administration.”
The comments come after President Park announced plans to make a decision on Lee after her return from a Latin America tour ending on April 27. Some governing Saenuri Party officials also back sacking Lee.
The Saenuri Party, meanwhile, said it opposes any motion for Lee’s impeachment, and urged the opposition to wait until Park returns.
"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
