Cheong Wa Dae, the office of President Roh Moo-hyun, said Wednesday that it will file a constitutional petition this week to nullify election law clauses outlawing the president's political remarks and activities.
"The National Election Commission's (NEC's) recent verdicts on President Roh's violation of the election law infringed on the president's freedom of political expression as a politician," Cheong Wa Dae Chief of Staff Moon Jae-in told reporters. "Basically, all individuals are entitled to freedom of political speech. Thus, we'll ask the Constitutional Court to rule on the constitutionality of the controversial clauses of the election law," he said, adding the petition would be filed by the end of this week. The NEC ruled on Monday night that Roh again violated the election law clause stipulating political neutrality by government officials by publicly attacking the main opposition Grand National Party and its leading presidential candidates aiming to run in December's election. |
