People Power Party to Hold Supreme Council Meeting in Front of Cheong Wa Dae the Day After Tomorrow to Urge Veto on Supplementary Investigation Power Abolition Bill

Following the passage of the Criminal Procedure Act amendment, which completely abolishes prosecutors' direct investigation powers, led by the Democratic Party in the National Assembly plenary session yesterday (July 31), the People Power Party announced plans to launch an on-the-ground opposition campaign by holding an on-site Supreme Council meeting in front of Cheong Wa Dae the day after tomorrow.

People Power Party Senior Spokesperson Park Sung-hoon stated today that the party leadership and many like-minded lawmakers will attend the on-site Supreme Council meeting, adding that in front of Cheong Wa Dae, "we will urge President Lee Jae-myung to exercise his veto power."

Senior Spokesperson Park continued, "We plan to take legal action through a competence dispute trial, a constitutional complaint, and a review of the constitutionality of statutes," emphasizing that "the important thing is to properly deliver to Cheong Wa Dae how angry the public is over this issue."

Regarding forecasts that the Criminal Procedure Act amendment could pass the Cabinet meeting as early as next week, he replied, "We will strongly convey the voices of the public so that this law is certainly abolished."

In addition, he mentioned that if the bill passes the Cabinet meeting, "we will center around the People Power Party to draft and submit a new alternative bill."
