The work report of the Ministry of Justice, which was postponed once last week, was made today (29th) because Justice Minister Park Beom-gye opposes the election promise.

In today's report, the Ministry of Justice said that it would change its position and actively support the election of the elected president.



The background was covered by reporter Hong Young-jae.

The report of the Ministry of Justice, which was canceled on the 24th due to the refusal of the transition committee, was reopened five days later.



The Ministry of Justice stated that it fully understands and sympathizes with the purpose of the elected president's promises in a broad framework.



[Lee Yong-ho/Secretary of the Political Affairs and Law Administration Division of the Subcommittee: He also expressed his position that he would actively support the process of revising the law to fulfill the promise.]



In particular, I agree with the purpose of the abolition of the Ministerial Investigation Command, which was clearly opposed by Justice Minister Park Beom-gye .

[Yoo Sang- beom



/ Member of the Political Affairs and Judicial Administration Subcommittee: I sympathize with the part where the controversy over the neutrality and independence of the prosecution occurred due to the exercise of the investigation command.]



The government only said that it would participate in the work to amend the law.



Also, regarding the expansion of the prosecution's direct investigation, which Minister Park objected to, the Ministry of Justice took a stand in conflict with the Minister, saying that related regulations need to be reorganized.



Minister Park did not go to the office today, but in the legal circles, it is analyzed that Minister Park chose to present a plan of appeasement rather than insisting on standing up a confrontation with the transition committee until the end, as the abolition of the investigative authority is an amendment to the law.



In the midst of this, President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol had a phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky, who is at war with Russia.



The transition committee said that it would not disclose details of the phone call due to Ukraine's wartime situation, but President Zelensky wrote on social media that he hopes for a successful inauguration of President-elect Yoon and cooperation between the two countries.
