Democrats pass the plenary session of the Judiciary Committee

A little while ago, the Democratic Party held a second lieutenant in the National Assembly Judiciary Committee, the Agenda Mediation Committee, and a plenary meeting, and finally passed the 'Inspection and Overhaul' bill.

Since the plenary session is scheduled to take place today (27th), clashes between the ruling and opposition parties seem inevitable.

The National Assembly Legislation and Judiciary Committee convened a plenary session last night around 9:20.

This is for the separation of the prosecution's investigative powers, the so-called 'check-and-run' bill, which was passed alone by the Democrats in the second lieutenant of the Judiciary Committee.

People's Power lawmakers held an emergency general meeting in front of the Judiciary Committee, criticizing the Democrats for enforcing unreasonable legislation.

Despite the opposition of the people, the amendment bill to the Prosecutor's Office and the Criminal Procedure Act was presented at the plenary meeting of the Judiciary Committee. It includes the abolition of the right to investigate crimes.

However, in consideration of the June 1 local elections, it was decided to retain the right to investigate election crimes until the end of this year.

In addition, the prosecution's supplementary investigations on the sentencing case were conducted only within the same crime facts, and separate investigations were blocked at the source.

In response, the People's Power requested the formation of an agenda coordination committee, saying that the bill needs further discussion, but the Democratic lawmakers passed the bill one after another until the general meeting following the agenda coordination committee.

In the process, the People's Power lawmakers prevented the Democratic Party's Judiciary Chairman Park Gwang-on from proceeding with the meeting, and an intense fight broke out.

The Democratic Party plans to bring the bill to the plenary session at the earliest, so clashes between the ruling and opposition parties seem inevitable.
