Newsis The Democratic Party of Korea pushed through an investigation plan at the general meeting of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee of the National Assembly on the 27th, which included holding an impeachment hearing on Kang Baek-shin, Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office, Seongnam Branch, and Incheon District Prosecutors’ Office Bucheon Branch Chief Eom Hee-jun on the 11th of next month. The People Power Party protested, saying, “The Democratic Party is carrying out a ‘retaliatory impeachment’ against the prosecutors who investigated Representative Lee Jae-myung,” and “The hearing should be postponed until the end of the first trial of Representative Lee’s Daejang-dong case,” but out of 16 registered lawmakers, they voted in favor. It was passed with 11 votes and 5 against.
Deputy Prosecutor Kang and Chief Prosecutor Eom Ji investigated and prosecuted Representative Lee’s Daejang-dong and Baekhyeon-dong cases while serving as prosecutors for the 1st and 3rd anti-corruption departments of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, respectively. The Democratic Party searched and seized reporters during the investigation into charges of defamation against President Yoon Seok-yeol as grounds for impeachment of Deputy Prosecutor Kang and Chief Uhm Ji-yeol, respectively, for allegedly leaking the facts of the investigation (publishing the facts of the suspect, etc.) and for the purpose of slandering former Prime Minister Han Myeong-sook. Charges of inciting perjury to inmates were presented.
On this day, the Democratic Party also pushed through the ‘Permanent Special Investigation Rules Amendment’, which excludes the ruling party’s right to recommend candidates during the permanent special investigation of the president and his family. All four ruling party lawmakers present voted against the bill, but it was passed with the approval of 11 opposition lawmakers. The amendment excludes the two members recommended by the ruling party from the seven-member permanent special prosecutor candidate recommendation committee in cases of investigations involving the president or his family. The Democratic Party plans to deal with suspicions related to First Lady Kim Kun-hee through a permanent special prosecutor over which the president cannot exercise his veto. The opposition party led the bill to amend the National Assembly Act, which aims to abolish the automatic submission of budget bills, and to the National Assembly Testimony and Appraisal Act, which extends the issuance of accompanying orders to witnesses who do not appear in attendance to hearings, etc.
The Democratic Party also pushed ahead with the ‘four agricultural laws’ opposed by the ruling party, including the ‘Grain Management Act Amendment’, which requires the government to make up part of the difference when the price of major agricultural products falls below the standard price, and the Agricultural and Fishery Products Distribution and Price Stabilization Act (Farm Safety Act). Processed. The Democratic Party plans to pass the amendment to the permanent special prosecution rules and the four agricultural laws at the plenary session on the 28th.
Song Mi-ryeong, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, said, “We cannot agree to a bill that lowers the price of rice,” and said she would recommend exercising the right to request reconsideration (veto) if it passes the plenary session. The Democratic Party is considering a motion to dismiss and filing a complaint regarding Minister Song’s statement that “the four agricultural laws are the ‘four agricultural laws.’”
