Ruling Party "No Justification for Violence" Raises "Democratic and Police Responsibility"

[Anchor]
The power of the people has repeatedly drawn the theory of responsibility for the attack on the Western District Court, saying that no violence can be justified.

Rather, they responded that the Democratic Party's agitation and the police's response made the protesters violent.

The People's Power repeatedly urged President Yoon's supporters who caused the Western District Court to refrain from violence, saying that violence cannot be justified under any pretext.

I know why I'm angry, but the party has said it will fight on the legal line instead.

[Kwon Young-se / People's Power Emergency Management Committee Chairman: If you use violent methods, you will only weaken your own legitimacy and add to social chaos. The power of the people will take the lead in fighting with the flag of the rule of law high.

Although it denies its connection to the incident, it has returned fire by attributing the arrow of responsibility to the Democratic Party of Korea and the police amid the ongoing controversy over the Baekgol-dan press conference and lawmaker Yoon Sang-hyun's "Hunbang remarks."

The Democratic Party of Korea turns a blind eye to the responsibility of crippling the National Assembly and splits for political strife, while the police are leading the situation to a mad witch hunt with insufficient response and strict punishment.

Similar comments continued at the standing committee, where questions on pending issues in the Western District Court were held.

[Yoo Sang-beom/Ruling party secretary of the National Assembly Legislation and Judiciary Committee: Isn't it a typical dereliction of duty for the police to open and let people come in without blocking people from the outside even if there are people inside and a mob?]

[Kim In-um / People's Power: As for the illegal activities of the opposition leader, the participants of the rally have become more radical as they seem to be taking care of the other party while delaying (judicial treatment)....]

However, some in the party criticized that the party should firmly cut off the far-right forces, saying it was true that recent remarks by ruling party figures, such as "Hunbang remarks," were inappropriate.

[Ahn Cheol Soo / People's Power] (People's Power) must abide by the court ruling and protect the values of conservatism by decisively insulating themselves from some of the rioting militants.]

Many point out that the ruling party, which should be in line with the government, is fueling confusion by repeatedly making contradictory claims, such as that the police response was rather passive or overly tough.
