In the National Assembly of South Korea, a series of laws that drastically reduce the prosecution's right to investigate have been passed and passed by the ruling party's forced vote by the 3rd.
The Korean media is aiming to prevent the prosecution's investigation into President Moon Jae-in and the ruling party, whose term will expire on the 9th of this month, due to the repeated cases of the president being arrested by the prosecution after his retirement. I strongly criticize it.
In the Korean parliament, the innovative ruling party, which occupies the majority of the seats, proposed a revision of the Public Prosecutor's Office Law on the 30th of last month, which limits the cases that the prosecution can directly investigate, such as corruption cases. On the 3rd, a series of laws were passed and passed, which drastically reduced the prosecution's right to investigate.
President Mun Jane held a cabinet meeting on the afternoon of the 3rd to decide on the promulgation of a series of laws, and if it comes into force in September, much of the prosecution's investigative power will be transferred to the police and new investigations will be carried out. The establishment of an institution is also being considered.
On the other hand, in South Korea, there have been repeated cases where presidents such as former President Park Geun-hye and former president Lee Myung-bak have been arrested by the prosecution after their retirement.
For this reason, the Korean daily report, a leading conservative newspaper, pointed out in an editorial that "the reduction of the prosecution's right to investigate is to prevent investigations into the Mun administration and the ruling party," and President Mun, whose term will expire on the 9th of this month. He strongly criticizes the government for its aim to prevent the prosecution's investigation into the ruling party.
