“Avoiding the investigation” vs “Normalizing the investigative power”

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Cha Ji-yeon, Kim Su-jin, and Lee Eun-jung = In the process of the prosecution’s separate investigation and prosecution bill promoted by the Democratic Party of Korea, the second filibuster (unlimited discussion) was held in the empty plenary hall on the 30th.

After the revision of the Prosecutor’s Office Act was processed and the amendment to the Criminal Procedure Act was proposed, two lawmakers from People’s Power and two members of the Democratic Party of Korea debated pros and cons for about 7 hours.

“Today will be remembered as a day to disobey the Moon Jae-in administration’s presidential election and destroy democracy,” said Kim Hyung-dong, a member of the People’s Power, who became the first runner-up. “We must humbly accept the criticism of the people,” he said.

Rep. Kim said, “The investigation into allegations of interference in the Blue House’s Ulsan mayor’s election will be difficult to investigate once this law is implemented in earnest.” done,” he said.

During Kim’s two-and-a-half hour speech, Democratic lawmakers raised their fingers and protested loudly. In particular, when Rep. Kim remarked, “Rep. Hwang Woon-ha said on the radio, ‘If the investigation and prosecution had been separated, I would never have been charged.’

Rep. Choi Ki-sang of the Democratic Party, who rose to the podium after Rep. Kim, first read Rep. Hwang’s statement, which refuted Rep. Kim’s remarks.

In a statement delivered by Rep. Choi, Rep. Hwang said, “Rep. Kim made personal attacks and defamatory remarks against fellow lawmakers in anticipation of immunity in the sacred National Assembly. asked for an apology.

In a one-hour and three-minute speech, Rep. Choi said, “The separation of the prosecution’s investigation and prosecution powers is a normalization of the prosecution in line with the spirit of the Constitution. It is high. It is the point where excessive investigations, separate investigations, dust removal and octopus removal investigations, and human rights violation investigations originate.”

Rep. Choi said, “We need to push the police, prosecutors, and courts from our daily lives, which are too deeply embedded in our daily lives. “He said.

Rep. Kim Mi-ae, who came out as the third runner, delivered a speech that lasted 2 hours and 48 minutes, the longest on the day.

Rep. Kim said, “It was painful to think about what kind of beliefs I had when I saw the scene of the legislative dictatorship being practiced by the Democratic Party that it was for the common people and the weak, so I could stand up and vote with a smile and hit the baton.” Is this a livelihood bill that must be dealt with urgently because it is a problem for these people to live on?” he criticized.

He said, “It is already widely known that the Democratic Party made this law to prevent the prosecution’s investigation into criminal charges related to the Moon Jae-in administration and former presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung. It is also called the Voting Guilty and Non-Guilty Act because it cannot be investigated,” he said.

There were shouts during Rep. Kim’s speech, and Rep. Kim even shouted to Democratic lawmakers, “Even if you talk like that, I can’t hear you. Don’t point out. Please keep your dignity.”

Last but not least, Democratic Party lawmaker Ho-seon Lim, who came to the podium, said, “Should we have such a confrontation and even unlimited discussion about a bill agreed upon by the ruling and opposition party leaders and ratified at the general assembly of both parties?

Rep. Lim said, “‘The goal of reducing the direct investigation function of the prosecution and separating investigation and prosecution, but first recognizing the independence of police investigations, is to promote rational distribution through distribution of investigative powers.’ “It’s stated in the document,” he said.
