At the hearing of the candidate for Commissioner of the National Police Agency, Yoon Hee-geun, there was a struggle from the beginning over the Police Department of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, which was launched on the 2nd.

[Moon Jin-seok / Democratic Party member: The establishment of a police station is a direct violation of the Constitution.

The scope of duties, establishment, organization, and law are stipulated like this, in the Constitution.] The

Democratic Party argued that there was a problem with the procedure, saying that the Police Department was created through the revision of the Enforcement Decree without the revision of the Government Organization Act.

In response, the People's Power countered that the establishment of a police station was a part of democratic control over the police.

[Kim Yong-pan / People's Power Rep.: Is it true that the police investigation has been relatively strong since the prosecution's investigation authority was abolished?

That 's why I'm worried.]

The National Police Chiefs' Meeting held in protest against the establishment of the Police Department and the issue of Superintendent Ryu Sam-young, who was placed on standby for leading it, also became an issue.

[Kim Chul-min / Democratic Party member: I think that the candidate gave such an instruction after being instructed by a powerful person in the Blue House or by Minister Lee Sang-min.]

[Park Seong-min / People's Power Representative: Wearing a uniform and attending the meeting and holding the meeting Being organized is not an official task.]

Superintendent Ryu, who had initially requested the adoption of a witness by the Democratic Party, does not attend the personnel hearing today (8th), but instead appears as a witness at the work report of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security and the National Police Agency scheduled to be held on the 16th.

After the personnel hearing, President Yoon Seok-yeol is expected to appoint Yoon Hee-geun after reviewing whether the National Assembly personnel hearing report is adopted.
