The group of elders released a statement at the press conference titled “We have to save democracy from crisis.”
“If a government organization takes part in political scheming and meddling, it has committed an act that by its very nature denies the foundations of democracy,” the group said in its statement. “Nevertheless, President Park claims that she received no assistance from the NIS during the past election, maintaining her position that she isn’t connected to any of this.”
“NIS Director Nam Jae-joon exceeded the limits of his authority by meddling in politics with the arbitrary release of the 2007 inter-Korean summit transcript,” the group also said. “The first thing Park must do is replace Nam.”
The elders called upon Park to adopt a politics of communication, to implement campaign pledges including economic democratization and welfare policies, and to promote dialogue between the government and the ruling and opposition parties.
