Together, the Democratic Party promotes the Kim An Escape Prevention Act... ``It is not possible to force the appointment of the missing candidate for Minister of Women and Family, Kim An,'' = South Korea

On the 9th, the Democratic Party (opposition party) of the Democratic Party of Japan announced the so-called ``Kim-An Fugitive Prevention Act'' (Kim-An Escape Prevention Act) regarding Kim Heng, a candidate for Minister of Gender Equality and Family, leaving the National Assembly personnel hearing and the progress being delayed.
The government decided to move forward with the proposed amendment to the Council Act. The Democratic Party plans to introduce an ``escape prevention law,'' which defines Kim's leaving the hearing venue as ``escape.''
Rep. Shin Hyeon-Yeong, secretary of the National Assembly Women and Family Committee, said at a National Assembly press conference, ``The personnel hearing is on track.
In order to prevent candidates from disappearing in the middle of the party, we plan to sponsor this bill as a representative." The proposed amendment would allow candidates for public office to fail to participate in personnel hearings or leave midway through their personnel hearings without justifiable reason.
It includes the content that if a candidate submits a nomination, he or she will be considered to have declined the candidate's position. Grounds will also be prepared for punishment of witnesses who refuse to submit materials or fail to attend without justifiable reason.
In addition, a new offense of ``contempt of the National Assembly'' will be created to prevent candidates from making insulting statements during personnel hearings.
After the press conference, Rep. Shin told reporters, ``(President Yoon Seo-gyul) appointed candidate Kim.
"I understand that the current situation is pending and that we are watching the trend of public opinion, and it is logical for Candidate Kim to decline his candidacy now." Both parties said, ``If President Yoon pushes through with appointing candidate Kim, we will invite a public judgment.
'', he reiterated, urging him to withdraw his candidacy. Spokesperson Kang Sun-woo gave a written briefing on the same day titled, ``Forcing the appointment of the missing candidate Kim An will call for a national tribunal.''
"Candidate Kim and the power of the people (ruling party) exited the National Assembly personnel hearing venue in a TV series.It is hard to believe that such candidate Kim would become the 19th person appointed by the Yun Seok-Yeol government without the adoption of the hearing report.
I'm stunned,'' he criticized. Spokesperson Kang said, ``It is a really brazen and arrogant administration to carry out the first situation in which an appointment is forced before the hearing questions can be completed.
"There was no government that ignored the council and disrespected the people," he continued to criticize. He added, ``When the people's power reached its limit in defending candidate Kim, he interrupted the speech of female committee chairman Kwon In-sook and stopped the hearing.
I left the place. "Candidate Kim also left the hearing venue without permission and went missing along with them, so what does it mean to force the appointment?" he asked.
He added, ``President Yoon is trying to show that it's okay to hate the people like candidate Kim, as long as he's on my side.''
Rika. Forcibly appointing candidate Kim will invite public anger and judgment, and will be the beginning of the downfall of the government."
