Opposition Party`s ``Change Park Ji-Won and Shin Seung-Nam`` ...

The Grand National Party demanded the President for the reformation of the human resources in the Cabinet and Cheong Wa Dae in terms of the `Lee Yong-Ho Gate`. On the contrary, the New Millennium Democratic Party defined the GNP`s request as `a spreading of groundless suspicions` and expressed its move with legal and political measures against the GNP`s political aggression.

Kwon Chul-Hyun, the spokesperson of GNP, urged for the overall national administrative reformation, stating that ``the President should dismiss such persons that had been denounced by the people as Park Ji-Won, Lim Dong-Won, Kim Dong-Shin, Shin Seung-Nam, and the President Kim must remove a `human curtain.``

Rep. Kwon also insisted for ``the dismissal of the persons around the President who have problems in terms of their ideologies.`` and urged for ``the systematic reformation concentrating on the administration after giving up his position as a president of the ruling party.`` It is the first time that the opposition party requested for the national administrative reformation to the President concerning the incident.

NMDP, however, decided at the Supreme Council meeting to utilize all the measures to block the spreading of groundless suspicions by GNP including legal and political counter actions.

NMDP also made a decision that it would establish a `committee to remove the malicious propaganda` and strongly respond against the reports of the press.

Spokesperson Chun Yong-Hak revealed the party`s plan to improve the privilege of the exemption from liability of the lawmakers to prevent the congressperson from exploiting the system to spread groundless suspicions.

Spokesperson Chun clarified the party`s rejection against the National Investigation on the `Lee Yong-Ho Gate` since the investigation is only for GNP`s repeated political aggressions on the same issue.
