On the 24th, the passport, which had disagreeed with the establishment of the Heavy Crimes Investigation Office (the Heavy Water Office), which took the prosecution’s direct investigation right, fell into chaos over “whether the prosecution is adjusting the speed of reform or not”. It seems that the government and ruling party are rebelling against the Blue House saying,’It is correct to adjust the speed, we should do it’, saying,’Who says to adjust the speed, we will go our way’. The opposition party said, “The lame duck from passport is in full swing.”

– The start of the speed control theory was on the 22nd. Justice Minister Park Beom-gye, who attended the National Assembly Judiciary Committee, said, “There are two main words the President has spoken to me. He said that it is the settlement of the reform of the investigative rights that will be implemented from this year. The adjustment of the prosecutor’s right, which was a pending issue of the current government, was organized to leave only six crimes (corruption, economy, public officials, elections, defense projects, and major disasters) to the prosecution after labor, and the police take the rest. In addition, the Democratic Party has installed a heavy water office to deprive the prosecution of even the six major crimes and propose a bill to install a heavy water office that completely separates the investigation and prosecution. Accordingly, President Moon’s remarks, in the form of Minister Park’s message, that the “reform of the investigative power was settled,” were interpreted as the theory of speed regulation of the prosecution reform.
However, some passport personnel made public comments that seemed unconcerned. In an interview on the 23rd, Rep. Park Joo-min, secretary of the Democratic Party’s Prosecutors’ Reformation Committee, said in an interview on the 23rd that “I have never heard of (speed control theory) officially or informally.” It is not the pace of reform season 2,” he dismissed. Rep. Hwang Unha, who initiated the heavy water administration bill, said, “I know that President Moon’s words are not about speed control,” he said. “It seems like an interpretation that reflects the wishes of the prosecution or conservative media.”
They also added greetings outside of Yeouido. Former Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae wrote on Facebook, “If we have to adjust the pace now (after the enactment of the criminal procedure law), the 67 years of wasting will become insufficient.” Cho Kook, former Minister of Justice, also shared an article by Choo, saying, “After the whole people witnessed the prosecution’s runaway, the National Assembly led the (investigation-prosecution) separation task in favor of realizing the task.”
Opposition Party “I’m sorry for passport personnel who refuse until the end of the president”
Gyeongnam Governor Kim Gyeong-soo, who is the’key to the prosecution’, said in a radio interview, “Even if there is a position on the speed control theory of the Blue House, the reform of the prosecution is decided through the law.” said.
– Another axis of controversy was whether President Moon’s remarks were interpreted as speed control. Minister Park Beom-gye said at a visit to the Daejeon Probation Office that day, “I did not express the president’s request in terms of speed control, but some seem to be lumped with such expressions.” “The president did not use that expression.” It evolved with the frame of’speed control interpretation is unreasonable’.
However, on the afternoon of that day, the uproar in the National Assembly’s operating committee was even greater. President Yoo Young-min, who attended the management committee, said, “The day Minister Park came to receive the appointment letter, President Moon made a request to adjust the speed,” he said. “The fact is, the story came out when the president asked for a cup of tea on the day of giving the appointment letter.” In response, Democratic Party leader Kim Tae-nyeon, chairman of the National Assembly, said, “President Moon did not say’adjust the speed’,” said Yoo, “I can’t remember the correct wording, but that was the meaning.” When Chairman Kim pointed out, “If you answer that way, President Moon used the wording of’speed control’,” Yoo explained, “The correct wording was not (adjust the speed), and he expressed that meaning.” .
Afterwards, Director Yoo got an opportunity to speak at the end of the meeting and said, “I checked when I was on a regular basis. (President Moon) wasn’t the expression of speed control,” he said, but it wasn’t enough to calm the controversy.
As the passports made their own voices, a diagnosis was made that “the Blue House’s grip has declined significantly.” On the outside, it seems that there is a pain over the installation of a heavy water office, but behind the scenes, the airflow in the ruling party, “Is it necessary to line up with the president anymore,” began to appear without filtering.
Professor Kim Hyung-joon of Myongji University said, “In the past, I would have dared to say that’I didn’t get notified’ and’I don’t mean that’ over the presidential remarks,” he said, “a typical late-term lame duck phenomenon.” Hyung-du Choi, a spokesman for the people’s strength, said, “I am worried that the appearance of passport personnel who reject the president’s theory of speed control is unfortunate.”
