Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, has spoken out against recent conspiracy theories suggesting a plea bargain arrangement with the prosecution. He emphasized that the party will vigorously respond using all available methods, rejecting these claims as unfounded and part of a broader attempt to undermine trust in the democratic process. In a parliamentary meeting, he stated that the current administration, described as democratic, would not entertain such allegations, especially under the supposed 'prosecutorial dictatorship' of the Yoon Seok-yeol government.

Furthermore, the party's floor leader, Han Byeong-do, echoed these sentiments by criticizing the rumors surrounding a plea bargain as seriously distorting facts and fostering distrust among the public. He characterized these conspiracy theories as antithetical to democracy and potentially harmful to social unity. The party leadership plans to actively counter these narratives to prevent them from being accepted as fact, emphasizing the need for clarity and truth in the public discourse surrounding prosecutorial reforms and accountability.

Additionally, Lee addressed criticisms regarding the establishment of the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Serious Crimes Investigation Office. He reassured party members that discussions would be held to resolve any potential issues and avoid unnecessary debates that could detract from the party's goals. The Democratic Party prioritizes productive internal discussions to ensure effective reforms while maintaining focus on their commitments to democratic principles and integrity in governance.
