News summary on the way home from work, Subsletter Evening.
Min Hyung-bae, a member of the Democratic Party, withdrew from the party without prior notice, and it is the Democratic Party's calculation to direct the bill to the plenary session.
When an independent lawmaker, Yang Hyang-ja, who the Democratic Party initially thought was an ally, showed his opposition to the check-up, he 'replaced the player' with Min Hyung-bae.
The final gateway to the bill is the plenary session, can we overcome the variable here, Speaker Byeong-seok Park?
Democrats hit the bidirectional sudden variable
Yesterday (19th), a document called the statement of independent lawmaker Yang Hyang-ja was circulated on SNS, which is against the so-called 'examination and completeness' bill.
"Since the matter is so serious, it is imperative that errors be thoroughly reviewed." "The (separation of investigation and prosecution) bill is a legislation that redesigns the foundation of the Korean judicial system." It will be harmful to Edo.”
I'll just cut the front part of the document and post it.

The Democratic Party's leadership was stunned by the documents of Rep. Yang, because, as I will explain in detail later, unexpected variables arise for the Democratic Party, who put in Rep. Yang to change the composition of the agenda coordination committee to a four-to-two structure.
So, it became important whether the article was written by Rep. Yang, but the office of Representative Yang denied that it was fake news.
However, the Democratic Party's leadership said that it was tentatively confirmed that Rep. Yang's writing was correct.
Park Hong-geun, floor leader, said on CBS Radio, "It seems that he wrote it internally and wrote it internally to consult with people around him. can be said to be the reference point of responsibility.”

◆ Park Hong-geun: It seems that he has not made an announcement yet.
Politicians take notes and write notes, and whether they inform the public or the people directly or not.
It's not like that yet, and he has thoughts about it, but he's thinking about it.
It is this position.
◇ Moderator: So, are you saying that this is not a fake document fabricated by someone?
◆ Park Hong-geun: Yes, he probably wrote it internally…
It seems to have been written to seek advice from people around me, but I know that it has not yet been formalized.
'Player change' Min Hyung-bae, who was dismissed by lightning
In a CBS radio interview, floor leader Park Hong-geun also said, "The Democratic Party is ready for countermeasures." Look at that part.
◆ Park Hong-Geun: But if Rep. Yang Hyang-Ja is thinking about it now, it's his own choice, so we can't help it.
However, we have prepared all the countermeasures for that, just let me tell you.
So, it is saying that there is a countermeasure against Rep. Yang Hyang-ja to oppose the Inspection and Waiver Act, and that countermeasure is 'Rep. Min Hyung-bae, the Democratic Party's sudden departure from the Democratic Party, and the placement of an independent Judiciary Committee'.
In the future, when the Judiciary Committee's agenda conciliation committee is formed, one independent will participate, and it is the Democratic Party's calculation that Rep. Min Hyung-bae, a hard-liner with a thorough check-up, will be placed in the position to deal with the bill in a swift and swift manner.

First, let's look at the Agenda Coordination Committee.
In accordance with the National Assembly Act, a subcommittee called the Agenda Mediation Committee can be formed to review the bill for up to 90 days prior to handling the bill at issue. Because it can be considered and brought to the general meeting immediately, the 90-day review standard is nullified.
This agenda coordination committee has a structure in which 3 Democrats, 2 People's Power, and 1 independent participate. The composition was 4:2, so I thought it would be advantageous to the Democrats.
(▶ Saboim: Combination of resignation and resignation, a term that combines resignation and resignation of members of the National Assembly Standing Committee or Special Committee) Rep. Min Hyung-bae was rushed in for this.
So, when the Agenda Mediation Committee was formed, we had in mind the 'player change' in which an independent was initially thought of as Rep. Yang Hyang-Ja and then replaced by Rep.
Oh Young-hwan, the spokesperson for the floor, met with reporters and explained, "As the will of Rep. Yang became known, the leadership of the floor was deeply troubled, but Rep. Min made an extraordinary decision to leave the party on his own, and the leadership accepted it."
Both the People's Power and the Justice Party beating the Democrats

People's Power Floor Leader Kwon Seong-dong held an emergency press conference and launched an onslaught against the Democratic Party.
"The Democratic Party is working tricks to neutralize the Agenda Coordination Committee again." "When Rep. Yang Hyang-Ja, who left the Democratic Party and was appointed to the Judiciary Committee, took a critical stance on the Prosecution and Completion Act, finally left Rep. Min Hyung-bae (Judicial Committee Agenda Coordination Committee) It was turned into the responsibility of the non-negotiating group,” and continued sharp criticism, saying, “The Agenda Coordination Committee is just a go-stop that puts together an assortment of things.”
Justice Party spokeswoman Jang Tae-soo also briefed and defined it as 'democracy terrorism at the Grand National Assembly'.
Spokesperson Jang asked, "The party said that the nomination of Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon was a terrorist attack on the public, but what would you say if Min Hyung-bae's departure from the Judiciary Committee was a democratic terrorism at the National Assembly?" After asking, "The time of the National Assembly is the time of the people. All reform tasks, including the one, should belong only to the people, but I don't know what the purpose of the Democratic Party's move to make it their own time and their own is not known," he said.
The last variable, Chairman Park Byeong-seok, is withheld from business trips
It looks like the Democratic Party is removing variables one by one in the handling of the oversight bill, and one of those variables is National Assembly Speaker Park Byung-seok.
Chairman Park was scheduled for a business trip to Canada and the United States from the 23rd to the 2nd of next month, but the business trip was put on hold.
As he informed reporters about this, he explained that he had "asked for the understanding of the countries he visited through diplomatic channels."

Requesting understanding from visiting countries through diplomatic channels
Regarding the background of the postponement of the business trip, a representative of the National Assembly Speaker's Office said, "Please accept it to the extent that you will not avoid it in any way. First, the chairman will discuss the parts that can be negotiated with both parties as much as possible, and he will play that role." It is an explanation that it was decided that it was not appropriate to go on a business trip at a time when the discussion on the oversight bill was in full swing.
Democrats sighed...
As a Democrat, it took a breather.
This is because it gives me time to review the oversight bill.
Until yesterday, there was also an observation that the legislation would be completed quickly before Chairman Park's departure, that is, within this week.
It will lead the discussion according to the original timetable of 'this week's plenary session of the Judiciary Committee, next week's plenary session'.
The Democratic Party also favorably interprets that Chairman Park gave strength to the policy of the National Assembly in April.
But it cannot be interpreted that way.
Chairman Park introduces himself as a parliamentarian who values dialogue and compromise, and even the controversial bills have emphasized the settlement of agreements through sufficient discussion between the ruling and opposition parties.
There have been times when we have blocked bills that have not been agreed upon.
A typical example is the refusal to bring the mediation arbitration law to the plenary session in August of last year, when the opposition and opposition parties were sharply opposed to each other.
The Democratic Party took a breather in time, but as Chairman Park leaves for an overseas tour, it may be more difficult to handle the bill than to hand over the chairperson's social rights to Vice Chairman Kim Sang-hee, a member of the same Democratic Party.
Within the Democratic Party, there was an atmosphere of anticipation of the transfer of social rights to Vice-Chairman Kim Sang-hee as Chairman Park went on a business trip, but that was over the water.
With Rep. Min Hyung-bae's sudden departure from the party, the Judiciary Committee may pass the Inspection and Judiciary Committee, but Chairman Park's cooperation is required to cross the plenary session, the final gateway.
