Han Byung-do: "We Will Swiftly Finalize the Amendment to the Criminal Procedure Act, the Final Puzzle of Prosecution Reform"

Han Byung-do, Acting Leader and Floor Leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated to the People Power Party, "If you obstruct the operation of the National Assembly, the Democratic Party will mobilize all means and methods to complete the normalization of the legislature."

During the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly today (July 1), Acting Leader Han made the remarks regarding the election of 11 standing and special committee chairs the previous day in the absence of the People Power Party, calling it "the first step toward creating a working National Assembly."

He continued, "We met 17 times to form the assembly, but the People Power Party only repeated like a broken record that they must have the Legislation and Judiciary Committee chair," adding, "I have realized one thing while negotiating multiple times. The People Power Party currently has no concern for the livelihoods of the people."

He then urged, "If the People Power Party feels even a shred of responsibility, I hope they will cooperate in electing the remaining seven standing committee chairs immediately."

Regarding legislative tasks, Acting Leader Han emphasized, "We will swiftly finalize the amendment to the Criminal Procedure Act, which is the final puzzle of prosecution reform," and added, "The floor leadership, the Policy Committee, and members of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee will begin full-scale work on the amendment."

He further added, "There is a national consensus on the complete separation of investigation and prosecution," and stated, "The party, the government, and the Blue House are of one mind and one purpose."
