We must conduct a massive cleanup from the roots to the chaff all at once.

Justice without power is incompetence.
However, power that possesses the strength granted by the people
but fails to use that strength to realize justice
is a betrayal of the people and a dereliction of duty.
To know it yet avoid it out of fear is cowardice,
and to turn a blind eye for one's own interests is betrayal.
Power is required to uproot the vested interests and the structures
of illegality and privilege that obstruct reform.
Only when the authority granted by the people is exercised resolutely
can complete reform truly become possible.
The people trusted the President's pledges
and the Democratic Party's pledges and entrusted them with state affairs.
They elected the President to complete the reform
and provided a massive number of seats in the legislature.
The price of failing to properly purge pro-Japanese collaborators after liberation
continues to be paid even today.
Because the mistakes of that era were not corrected,
the remnants of pro-Japanese sentiment and distorted vested interest structures
have taken root throughout our society.
We must not repeat the failures of the past.
Under the guise of media and commentary, some systematically
disseminate false information, deceive the people,
divide national sentiment, incite division among the citizens,
and even
instigate discord and division between the government and the people.
Acts that destroy democracy and the social community
must be held strictly accountable,
regardless of status or political camp.
Obstacles to reform can only be cleared if there is power,
and only then can complete reform be achieved.
We must first punish those
who divide the national sentiment,
and conduct a massive cleanup from the roots to the chaff all at once.
We must take this opportunity to carry out a decisive liquidation.
If we fail to do it now, it may
become impossible forever.
We must remember the consequences of failing to purge pro-Japanese elements in the past.
