브레이크뉴스 이제항 선임기자/시인 = 최보윤 국민의힘 수석대변인은 9일 오후 1시 50분 국회소통관 언론 브리핑을 통해 “대한민국 증시의 파국은 정권의 정책 실패와 어설픈 관치가 결합한 인재이며, 민주당의 보완수사 폐지 시도는 민생 범죄자들에게 프리패스를 끊어주는 선전포고”라고 비판했다.
"단일종목 레버리지 ETF, 증시를 합법적 도박판 만들어"
먼저, 최보윤 수석대변인은 코스피와 코스닥 지수의 동반 급락 사태를 언급하며 이재명 정부와 금융당국의 무능한 관치 행정을 매섭게 지적했다. 최보윤 수석대변인은 “대한민국 증시가 단 사흘 만에 통째로 주저앉았고 연일 5%대 급락을 거듭하며 매도 사이드카가 연쇄 발동되는 초유의 사태가 벌어졌다”며, “삼성전자가 사상 최대 성적표를 냈음에도 주가가 폭락하고 외신들이 한국 증시를 ‘카지노’, ‘오징어 게임’이라 조롱하는 황당한 사태의 주범은 이재명 정부와 금융당국”이라고 비판했다. 이어, “금융당국이 무분별하게 도입한 ‘단일종목 레버리지 ETF’가 증시를 합법적 도박판으로 만들었다”며, “이제 와서 금감원장은 유체이탈 화법으로 후회하고 부총리는 뒤늦게 보완을 논하는 것은 소 잃고 외양간도 못 고치는 경제팀 무능의 극치”라고 주장했다.
그러면서 “소위 ‘호남 반도체 프로젝트’ 발표 직후 주가가 하락한 것은 결코 우연이 아니다”라며 “시장은 정권의 생색내기용 정책을 ‘기업 자율성 침해’와 ‘공급 과잉 우려’라는 대형 악재로 받아들인 것”이라고 꼬집었다. 아울러, “외국인 투기 자본이 빠져나간 자리를 국민연금과 개미투자자들의 피눈물로 메우는 구조를 방관하지 말라”며, “증시를 도박판으로 만든 레버리지 ETF를 즉각 규제하고 어설픈 시장 개입과 관치 행정을 당장 중단하라”고 주문했다.
검사 보완수사권 완전 폐지 강력 규탄
다음으로, 최보윤 수석대변인은 더불어민주당이 국회 법사위에서 ‘검사 보완수사권 완전 폐지’를 골자로 한 형사소송법 개정안을 상정한 것을 두고 강력히 규탄했다. 최보윤 수석대변인은 “민주당이 끝내 형소법 개정안을 상정하고 법안소위에 회부한 것은 대한민국 형사사법 체계를 마비시키는 행위”라며, “이는 살인범과 사기범 등 파렴치한 민생 범죄자들에게 프리패스를 끊어주는 ‘범죄자 방탄법’에 불과하다”고 주장했다. 이어, “‘광주 여고생 피살 사건’에서 경찰의 은폐·방치로 단순 살인으로 묻힐 뻔한 사건을 밝혀내고, 3,000만 원짜리 개인 사기로 덮이려던 창원지검 사건에서 400억 원대 조직적 금융사기의 전모를 밝혀낸 것은 오직 검찰의 집요한 보완수사 덕분이었다”며, “경찰의 부실·유착 수사를 견제할 브레이크를 없앤다면 앞으로 수많은 대형 사건들이 은폐되어 ‘완전 범죄’로 끝날 것”이라고 경고했다.
그러면서 “진보 성향의 ‘민변’ 내부에서조차 보완수사권 존치 의견이 3분의 2를 넘었다”라며 “전문가들의 뼈아픈 지적도 외면한 채, 전당대회 당권 경쟁의 제물로 민생을 불사르는 무책임의 극치”라고 비꼬았다. 아울러, “억울하게 목숨을 잃은 피해자 가족들의 가슴에 대못을 박는 정당은 공당의 자격이 없다”며, “국민의 안전을 위협하는 ‘보완수사권 폐지’ 상정 폭주를 즉각 중단하고 법안을 철회하라”고 목소리를 높였다. hang5247@hanmail.net

Choi Bo-yoon, Senior Spokesperson for the People Power Party: “Stop Incompetent Economic Policies and the Abolition of Supplementary Investigations”
- Condemning the ‘Squid Game’ stock market crash and urging the Democratic Party to withdraw its plan for the ‘complete abolition of prosecutors’ supplementary investigation authority’
- “Actions that threaten public safety and destroy market trust must stop immediately”
— Lee Je-hang, Senior Reporter/Poet, Break News
On the 9th, Choi Bo-yoon, Senior Spokesperson for the People Power Party, likened the stock market crash caused by the Lee Jae-myung administration’s economic failures to a ‘Squid Game,’ strongly criticizing the incompetence of financial authorities and government intervention. At the same time, she characterized the bill pushed by the Democratic Party for the ‘complete abolition of prosecutors’ supplementary investigation authority’ as a ‘bulletproof law’ that defends criminals and demanded its immediate withdrawal.
Choi Bo-yoon, Senior Spokesperson for the People Power Party, stated during a press briefing at the National Assembly Communication Center at 1:50 p.m. on this day, “The catastrophe of the South Korean stock market is a man-made disaster resulting from the combination of the administration’s policy failures and clumsy state control, and the Democratic Party’s attempt to abolish supplementary investigations is a declaration of war that grants a free pass to criminals who commit crimes against the public.”
The ‘Squid Game’ Stock Market Born of State Control
First, referring to the simultaneous sharp decline of the KOSPI and KOSDAQ indices, Senior Spokesperson Choi Bo-yoon sharply criticized the incompetent state-controlled administration of the Lee Jae-myung government and financial authorities. Chief Spokesperson Choi Bo-yoon criticized, “The South Korean stock market collapsed completely in just three days, and an unprecedented situation unfolded where sell-side circuit breakers were triggered in succession as the market continued to plummet by over 5% day after day.” She added, “The main culprits behind this absurd situation, where stock prices crashed despite Samsung Electronics posting a record-breaking performance and foreign media mocked the Korean market as a ‘casino’ or ‘squid game,’ are the Lee Jae-myung administration and the financial authorities.” She further argued, “The ‘single-stock leverage ETFs’ indiscriminately introduced by the financial authorities turned the stock market into a legal gambling den,” asserting, “For the Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service to express regret with detached rhetoric now, while the Deputy Prime Minister belatedly discusses improvements, is the epitome of the economic team’s incompetence—failing to fix the barn after the horse has bolted.” At the same time, he pointed out, “The stock market decline immediately after the announcement of the so-called ‘Honam Semiconductor Project’ is by no means a coincidence,” adding that “the market perceived the administration’s token policy as a major negative factor involving ‘infringement of corporate autonomy’ and ‘concerns about oversupply.’” Furthermore, he urged, “Do not stand idly by while the structure fills the void left by the withdrawal of foreign speculative capital with the tears of the National Pension Service and retail investors,” and demanded, “Immediately regulate leveraged ETFs that have turned the stock market into a gambling den, and stop clumsy market intervention and government-controlled administration immediately.”
Democratic Party’s Push to Abolish ‘Supplementary Investigation’: A Declaration of War to Stand on the Side of Criminals
Next, Chief Spokesperson Choi Bo-yoon strongly condemned the Democratic Party for submitting an amendment to the Criminal Procedure Act to the National Assembly’s Legislation and Judiciary Committee, which centers on the “complete abolition of prosecutors’ powers for supplementary investigation.” Chief Spokesperson Choi Bo-yoon argued, “The Democratic Party’s final submission of the amendment to the Criminal Procedure Act and its referral to the Bill Subcommittee is an act that paralyzes South Korea’s criminal justice system,” adding, “This is nothing more than a ‘criminal shield law’ that grants a free pass to shameless criminals who commit crimes against the public, such as murderers and fraudsters.” She continued, “It was solely thanks to the prosecution’s persistent supplementary investigations that we uncovered the ‘Gwangju High School Girl Murder Case,’ which was nearly buried as a simple murder due to police cover-up and neglect, and revealed the full extent of an organized financial fraud worth 40 billion won in the Changwon District Prosecutors’ Office case, which was intended to be covered up as a 30 million won personal fraud case.” She warned, “If the brakes to check the police’s negligent and collusive investigations are removed, numerous major cases will be concealed in the future and end as ‘perfect crimes.’” He went on to sarcastically remark, “Even within the progressive ‘Minbyun,’ the opinion to retain the supplementary investigation authority has exceeded two-thirds,” adding, “It is the height of irresponsibility to burn up the people’s livelihoods as a sacrifice for the party leadership race at the national convention, while ignoring the painful criticisms of experts.” Furthermore, he raised his voice, stating, “A political party that drives a nail into the hearts of the families of victims who unjustly lost their lives is not qualified to be a public party,” and demanded, “Immediately stop the reckless push to introduce the ‘abolition of supplementary investigation authority,’ which threatens public safety, and withdraw the bill.” hang5247@hanmail.net
