Park Sung-joon of the Democratic Party, Jung Choon-saeng, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Party for National Reconstruction, and Yoon Jong-oh, floor leader of the Progressive Party, are submitting the bill related to the investigation into the death of Seonjik-haebyeong, jointly proposed by the opposition parties, to the National Assembly on the afternoon of the 3rd. [Yonhap],
,
, ‘[Herald Economy=Reporter Park Sang-hyun] On the 3rd, the Democratic Party and four other opposition parties jointly proposed a ‘Third-Party Recommended Special Investigation Bill,’ which recommends four special prosecutors by the Chief Justice and compresses the opposition’s recommendations to two.’,
,
, ‘Park Sung-joon of the Democratic Party, Jung Choon-saeng, Deputy Chief of Staff, and Yoon Jong-oh, floor leader of the Progressive Party, submitted a bill with this content to the National Assembly on the afternoon of the same day. The joint proposal this time included all opposition parties except the Reform Party.’,
,
, ‘Kang Yoo-jeong, a spokeswoman for the Democratic Party, met with reporters at the National Assembly in the morning and said, “The Chief Justice will recommend four people, and (the opposition) and non-opposition parties will each recommend one.”.’,
,
, ‘When the Chief Justice first recommends four, the Democratic Party and the non-opposition parties will narrow it down to two, and the President will appoint one of them.’,
,
, ‘The method of the Chief Justice recommending a special prosecutor was suggested by the leader of the People Power Party, Han Dong-hoon. The Democratic Party intends to increase the pressure for the enactment of the special prosecution law by including third-party recommendations in the bill.’,
,
, ‘However, there is a high possibility that the People Power Party will oppose the new bill on third-party recommended special prosecutors. This is because the bill also grants the opposition the right to veto, such as requesting a re-recommendation if the special prosecutor recommended by the Chief Justice is considered problematic.’,
,
, ‘In addition, the ‘report manipulation’ that the People Power Party argued should be included in the scope of the special prosecutor’s investigation has been excluded from the bill, leading to speculation that the opposition may not accept the bill proposed by the Democratic Party.’,
,
, ‘Furthermore, if President Yoon Seok-yeol exercises veto power, there is also a possibility within the Democratic Party that they may consider a state affairs investigation related to the death of Seonjik-haebyeong as they see obtaining a special prosecutor difficult.’,
