秋美愛、共に民主党当選人
Choo Mi-ae, winner of the Democratic Party election, will run for speaker of the National Assembly, saying, ”We will quickly complete the composition of the National Assembly to reform the prosecution” - South Korea
Choo Mi-ae, the Democratic Party's (opposition party) elected president, announced her aspirations to run for the first half of the 22nd National Assembly speaker election on the 8th, saying, "Together with my fellow lawmakers, I will create a National Assembly that innovates and reforms."
That afternoon, Mr. Autumn, who was elected, held a press conference in the Diet to announce his candidacy for Speaker of the National Assembly, saying, "A reformed Diet needs a verified reform speaker."
"I will swiftly push forward with reform legislation, including prosecutorial reform and media reform, as well as legislation for the public's livelihood," said President Choi.
He also stressed that the constitution needs to be amended to restrict the use of veto power in cases involving conflicts of interest involving the president himself, his family, or close associates, to establish new authority to draft the National Assembly's budget, and to provide a new budget to the National Assembly.
The party pledged to introduce a system of popular initiative, among other things. It also pledged to delegate to the party and its members the power to cast a vote of no confidence over the National Assembly speaker, who cannot be a member of a party under current law.
"The Republic of Korea is currently experiencing three major crises: people's livelihood, peace, and democracy. The people are overwhelmingly worried about us.
"It is the people's command to restore our shattered democracy, resolve the bankrupt civilian economy and resolve the crisis on the Korean Peninsula," he said.
He added, "Now that we (the Democratic Party of Korea) have the power in the National Assembly, we must answer. We must create a reform National Assembly that follows the will of the people and restore the lives of the people.
"We must restore democracy," he said. "We must erect a democratic system that has collapsed. The raids and mass indictments have created an atmosphere of fear throughout the country.
"The prosecutorial dictatorship is trying to stifle critical voices, including by censoring the media," he said. "They covered the mouths of lawmakers and forced them to leave by lifting their arms and legs.
"The National Assembly, the flower and last bastion of democracy, must take the lead in protecting democracy," he said.
Cho also offered strong criticism of President Yoon Seok-yeol, who was the prosecutor general when Cho was minister of justice. Cho said, "The so-called 'Cho-Yoon conflict' frame is a
It was nothing more than a coup attempt by Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol. When the conservative media and conservative camps were busy making Yoon Seok-yeol a hero, I, as Minister of Justice, was involved in the relationship between Yoon Seok-yeol himself and his family.
"I fought to the end and revealed the allegations of corruption, and I was disciplined," he said. "The first trial ruled that the disciplinary action against the prosecutor general was lawful, which means I was right."
Now that two years have passed since the government took power, the truth behind the prosecution coup, including the Channel A prosecutor collusion, Kim Geon-hee's wife's stock price manipulation, and suspicions of instigating prosecution, is being confirmed one after another.
"I believe that the public, having seen the true character of President Yoon Seok-yeol, will also believe that I am not wrong," he said.
