Today (15th), the Democratic Party proposes a bill to completely abolish the prosecution's investigation authority.
In the National Assembly Judiciary Committee discussing this bill, the opposition parties met fiercely.

The only question on the pending issues of the National Assembly Legislative and Judiciary Committee was the 'examination and completion' workshop.
The People's Power launched an offensive in an attempt to nail the investigation into the current government and former Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myung, including the case of the Daejang-dong development.
[Jo Su-jin/People's Power Rep.: 'Moon Jae-myung (Moon Jae-in + Lee Jae-myung)' is not an exaggeration to say that it is covering up corruption, so it is urgently needed?
Before the end of Moon Jae-in's presidency...

[Park Beom-gye/Minister of Justice: It is proper for the prosecution to investigate President Moon Jae-in.
Do you think so, now?]
He also criticized the Democrats for monopolizing the legislation without providing any clear alternatives and without consultation.
The Democratic Party refuted that the prosecution's separation of investigative and prosecuting powers was something that not only the power of the people in the past, but also the elected Yoon Seok-yeol, had agreed to, and refuted the criticism that it was pursued to prevent investigations into the current government.
[Kim Jong-min / Democratic Party Member: In the past (the people's power), what kind of investigation are you trying to stop now?
No, did we make that claim three years ago to prevent the investigation?]
He also emphasized that the bill was intended to prevent the side effects caused by the excessive concentration of authority on the prosecution.
The Democratic Party proposes a bill to close the inspection today and is scheduled to start processing in the National Assembly in April, so the confrontation and clash between the ruling and opposition parties is expected to intensify.
