Minority leaders of the ruling and opposition parties will meet at 2 pm today, presided over by the Speaker of the National Assembly, to discuss whether or not the bill passed by the Judiciary Committee in the early morning of this day will be submitted to the plenary session.



National Assembly Speaker Park Byeong-seok was silent on reporters' questions about whether to introduce a bill on the way to work.



[Park Byeong-seok/Chairman of the National Assembly: We are considering various things.]



The people's power is saying that the bill should not be brought to the plenary session, and is starting a sit-in and professing to stop desperately.



[Kwon Seong-dong / People's Power Floor Leader: Where is the lawless operation of the National Assembly without even discussion and discussion?

To stop this with the power of the people, we start sit-ins.]



However, the Democratic Party said that it was the people's power to break the agreement between the ruling and opposition parties, and foretold a forced action.



[Yun Ho-jung / Democratic Party Joint Emergency Response Committee Chairman: This is the last chance given by the people.

We will not stop for prosecution reform.

The agreement between the opposition and the ruling and opposition parties to normalize the prosecution, I will definitely protect it.]



Earlier today around 0:10 am, the National Assembly Legislative and Judiciary Committee passed the so-called 'Complete Inspection' bill that separates the prosecution's investigative and prosecuting powers.



In the face of opposition from the people, the bill was effectively dealt with by the Democratic Party in 8 minutes by the Agenda Mediation Committee and 6 minutes by the general meeting of the Judiciary Committee.



The bill dealt with by the Judiciary Committee included the abolition of the right to investigate crimes other than corruption and economic crimes among the six major crimes that prosecutors can directly investigate, such as major disasters, defense projects, public officials, corruption, the economy, and elections.



However, among them, the right to investigate election crimes has been accepted by the Justice Party and decided to remain with the prosecution until the end of this year in consideration of the June 1 local elections.
