브레이크뉴스 김충열 정치전문기자 = 더불어민주당은 오는 23일로 예정된 원희룡 전 국토교통부 장관의 2차 종합특검 소환과 관련 “국민이 3년을 기다려 온 진실 규명의 시계가 비로소 움직이기 시작했다”며 성역 없는 수사를 촉구했다.

박경미 민주당 대변인은 20일 서면브리핑을 통해 “두 차례의 소환 통보를 ‘폐문부재’ 핑계로 외면하다 압수수색을 당하고서야 마지못해 출석하게 된 것”이라며 원 전 장관의 태도를 비판하고, 이번 소환이 ‘일타강사’를 자처하며 진실을 가리려 했던 궤변의 끝이 될 것임을 예고했다.
“노선은 땅을 따라 움직였다”… 국기문란 사건의 실체 밝혀야
박 대변인은 서울-양평고속도로 노선 변경 특혜 의혹을 “대통령 부부(윤석열-김건희) 일가의 사익을 위해 국가권력을 사유화하고 공적 정책 결정 과정을 무력화한 윤석열 정부의 국기문란 사건”이라고 규정했다.
또한, 2021년 예비타당성 조사를 통과한 원안(종점이 양평군 양서면에서) 2023년 5월 국토교통부가 이를 강상면으로 변경 검토하면서 특혜 의혹이 불거졌다. 그는 윤석열 정권에서 합당한 이유 없이 김건희 여사 일가의 땅이 밀집한 강상면으로 변경된 점을 지적하며, “국책사업이 일가의 재산 증식 계획 앞에서 길을 잃었다”고 맹비난했다.
‘일타강사’ 원희룡, 조직적 기만 정황 낱낱이 드러날 것...
박 대변인은 원 전 장관의 혐의가 매우 중대함을 강조하며, 특검이 밝혀내야 할 핵심 의혹들을 제시했다.
그는 “직권남용 혐의로 인수위 기획위원장 시절 용역사와 공무원들에게 행사한 부당한 압력과 법률 자문 결과 ‘위반 소지’를 인지하고도 ‘문제없다’는 허위 보도자료를 유포한 정황”을 핵심 의혹으로 밝혔다.
박 대변인은 “원 전 장관이 스스로 ‘일타강사’를 자처하며 펼친 장황한 강의의 수강생은 국민이 아니라 윤석열·김건희 부부였다”고 꼬집으며, “누가 노선 변경을 지시했는지, ‘백지화’ 선언은 누구를 지키기 위한 것이었는지 몸통과 배후를 낱낱이 밝혀내야 한다”고 역설했다.
국책사업의 종점은 특정 일가의 땅이 아니라 국민이어야
끝으로 더불어민주당은 “국책사업의 종점은 특정 일가의 땅이 아니라 국민이어야 한다”며, “수사를 통해 밝혀질 진실의 종점 역시 오직 국민을 향해 있어야 할 것”이라고 밝혔다. 아울러 민주당은 “국민과 함께 이번 특검 수사 과정을 끝까지 예의주시하며 사필귀정의 결과를 끌어내겠다”는 의지를 표명했다. hpf21@naver.com

Democratic Party Spokesperson Park Kyung-mi: “Summoning Won Hee-ryong Begins the Uncovering of the Truth… Yangpyeong Expressway Allegations: The Mastermind and the Masterminds Must Be Uncovered”
“The Sophistry of Won Hee-ryong and the ‘Top Instructor’ Is Over”… ‘Yangpyeong Expressway Allegations’: “The Clock for Uncovering the Truth Has Started”
Won Hee-ryong Trampled on State Projects for the Private Interests of the President’s Family… “Reveal the Mastermind and the Masterminds”
Won Hee-ryong Reluctantly Appears After Search and Seizure… Democratic Party Urges Thorough Investigation into ‘Undermining National Security’
Break News Political Reporter Kim Choong-lyoul = Ahead of the second summons of former Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Won Hee-ryong by the Special Counsel for Comprehensive Affairs, scheduled for the 23rd, the Democratic Party strongly urged an investigation without sacred cows, stating, “The clock for uncovering the truth, which the people have waited three years for, has finally started to move.” Democratic Party Spokesperson Park Kyung-mi criticized former Minister Won’s attitude in a written briefing today (the 20th), stating, “He ignored two summons notices under the pretext of being ‘at home’ and only reluctantly appeared after being subjected to a search and seizure.” She also warned that this summons would mark the end of the sophistry used to obscure the truth while acting as a self-proclaimed ‘top instructor.’
“The route followed the land”… The truth behind the national security breach must be revealed
Spokesperson Park defined the allegations of preferential treatment regarding the change in the Seoul-Yangpyeong Expressway route as “a national security breach by the Yoon Suk-yeol administration that privatized state power and neutralized the public policy-making process for the private interests of the President and his wife (Yoon Suk-yeol and Kim Kun-hee) family.”
Furthermore, allegations of preferential treatment arose when the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport reviewed changing the route from the original plan (with the terminus in Yangseo-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun), which had passed the preliminary feasibility study in 2021, to Gangsang-myeon in May 2023. Pointing out that the project was changed to Gangsang-myeon—where land owned by Mrs. Kim Kun-hee's family is concentrated—during the Yoon Suk-yeol administration without justifiable reason, he fiercely criticized the situation, stating, "A state-run project has lost its way in the face of the family's plan to increase their wealth."
'Top Lecturer' Won Hee-ryong: Circumstances of Systematic Deception to Be Revealed in Detail...
Spokesperson Park emphasized the grave nature of former Minister Won's charges and presented the key allegations that the Special Counsel must uncover.
He identified the core allegations as "undue pressure exerted on service providers and public officials during his tenure as Chairman of the Presidential Transition Committee Planning Committee on charges of abuse of power, and circumstances regarding the dissemination of false press releases claiming 'no issues' despite being aware of potential violations based on legal advice."
Spokesperson Park pointed out, “The students of the lengthy lecture delivered by former Minister Won, who styled himself a ‘top lecturer,’ were not the people, but the couple Yoon Suk-yeol and Kim Kun-hee.” He emphasized, “We must thoroughly uncover the mastermind and the masterminds behind it, revealing who ordered the change of course and whom the declaration of ‘scrapping’ was intended to protect.”
**The Endpoint of National Projects Must Be the People, Not the Land of a Specific Family**
Finally, the Democratic Party of Korea stated, “The endpoint of national projects must be the people, not the land of a specific family,” adding, “The truth to be revealed through the investigation must also point solely toward the people.” Furthermore, the Democratic Party expressed its determination to “closely monitor the special counsel investigation process with the people until the very end and bring about a result where justice prevails.” hpf21@naver.com
