Seoul, Democratic Party attacks Park: shut down corrupt Secret Service
Seoul (AsiaNews) - The armed forces and secret services election interference "had not been seen since the end of military regimes". "Whether she knew it or not, the beneficiary is President Park Geun-hye, she should take steps to resolve the crisis of democracy. I call on the president to clearly show her intent to solve the problem, and to take immediate action". This is the content of a message released today by Moon Jae-in , Democratic congressman and former presidential candidate defeated by a narrow margin by the current leader, from the ranks of the Conservative Party .
The message refers to the fraud
and bribery carried out by the National Intelligence Service (NIS), during the
recent vote: they are accused of having manipulated the last presidential
election by sending tens of thousands of intimidating messages to elderly voters,
manipulating ballots and urns and by releasing
defamatory dossiers on democratic candidates .
In
addition to Moon other House Democrats also intervened in the controversy, yet despite
this the Party has decided to remain in Parliament. According
to Sul Hoon the elections "were an injustice in
every sense ," while the former leader Park Jie -won added that the
possibility of appealing against the result of the vote should be seriously
considered.
In
recent weeks, the
South Korean Church launched a manifesto of protest against the
interference of the National Intelligence Service , "All the 15 dioceses
in the country have endorsed the Manifesto - a source tells AsiaNews - which was signed by the vast
majority of priests and
women religious . Soon after came a pronouncement by the Episcopal Commission
for Justice and Peace . " It
has garnered a further 20 thousand signatures from the original 6 thousand in the
past 15 days.
