Dozen Occasions: Party Lawmakers

dozen occasions: But the Bareun party's own leader, Lee Hye-hoon, has been under increasing pressure since prosecutors last month opened an investigation into allegations that a businesswoman gave her cash and gifts worth about 60 million won 50,000 over nearly a dozen occasions, according to The Japan Times. She denies the accusations but stepped down Thursday, telling her party lawmakers, I apologize for causing concern because of my lack of virtue. Dozens of members of the Bareun Justic party splintered from the main conservative group, then known as Saenuri, as accusations mounted against Park and joined forces with then opposition lawmakers to vote for her impeachment. ; The ousted president is now on trial for corruption and other offenses. She insisted she would clear her name and the truth will come out sooner or later. She vowed to make Bareun the main base of conservatism rather than Park's party, now renamed Liberty Korea, but the allegations undermined those efforts. Lee took the helm of Bareun in June after the government changed hands with the election of liberal President Moon Jae-in. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
