While the Democratic Party is trying to enforce the bill to abolish the prosecution's investigative authority, representatives of public prosecutors across the country stayed up all night yesterday (19th) to discuss countermeasures.

We'll be announcing our position this morning.

Representatives of chief prosecutors from all over the country also gathered today to continue the response meeting.

The national public prosecutor representative meeting, which started at 7 pm yesterday evening, lasted for over 10 hours and ended at 5:10 am today.

207 representatives of public prosecutors from across the country gathered at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office to discuss the problems and countermeasures of the 'examination and overhaul' bill.

[Yoon Kyung / Prosecutor of Uijeongbu District Prosecutors' Office: We shared with each other the difficulties of practical operation as criminal justice practitioners.

Accordingly, with the consent of the prosecutors from each agency across the country, the National Review Prosecutors' Representative Meeting was held this time.]

Among the review prosecutors who participated in the meeting, if the prosecution's investigative authority is abolished, substantial harm may occur to the public, and the separation of investigation and prosecution may be difficult in the international community. There were opinions that it does not meet the point of view of the standard, and that it cannot be separated in order to properly exercise the right of prosecution.

Since then, we have been discussing ways to respond to these issues all night long.

The results of the meeting will be announced today at 9am.

From 7 o'clock this evening, representatives of chief prosecutors from all over the country will gather and continue the meeting to respond to the Inspection and Endurance Bill.

An official from the meeting explained the reason for the convening of the meeting, saying, "As a working-level person in charge of the prosecution's work, an important agenda can be rushed forward too quickly, causing irreparable damage to the people."

About 50 people are expected to attend.

The next day, the Supreme Prosecutor's Office invited figures from the academic and legal circles to hold a public hearing and to gather opinions on the theoretical and practical problems of the bill.
