[아침신문 솎아보기] “Symbol of prosecution reform” versus “government airlift”



[ad_1]

In a plenary session of the National Assembly on the 10th, an amendment to the Law of the Office of Criminal Investigation of Senior Officials (Air Bridge) was approved. The amendment aims to facilitate the decision quorum of the ‘Public Affairs Minister Recommendation Committee’ from ‘6 of 7’ to ‘more than two thirds’, and if each negotiating organization does not select a nominative member within 10 days , Korean law is under the authority of the Speaker of the National Assembly. The content of the appointment of the president of the teachers association and the president of the council of the law school is included.

Due to these revisions, it has been criticized that the right of the opposition party to veto the nomination (not total) of the candidates to the head of the prosecution has been practically neutralized in front of the ‘Airborne Law’, which was considered a symbol of reform of the prosecution.

Most of the main national newspapers published on the morning of the 11th deal with the issue of the launch of the Airborne Law. With the exception of the Hankyoreh, the cover story contains content critical of the launch of the Air Transport Act. However, in Hankyoreh’s case, the headline on the cover drew a positive headline that read: “The way has been opened to launch the airlift of ‘check audit power'”, but the portal was exposed as a title dry minus the ‘check impeachment power’.

The following is the headline of an article on air transport law in the main general newspapers on the 11th. Except for the Kyunghyang Shinmun, it is all one page.
Kyunghyang Shinmun “Let us pass the Airborne Law … President Moon ‘The expectation will be released at the beginning of the new year'” (p. 4)
Kookmin Ilbo “The air transport law changed before the launch … 野 Disabling the right of veto”
Dong-A Ilbo “Pass the Air Transport Law to remove the right to refuse … 文 ‘Byeokdu New Year Launch'”
The Seoul newspaper “It was launched this year, as soon as the airborne agency … Said the CEO, according to his taste.”
Segye Ilbo “The Government Transport Plane Powered by the Giant Ruling Party”
Chosun Ilbo “Appointment of the Minister of Public Service … The interception of the investigation of the regime has begun.”
JoongAng Ilbo “The airlift who lost public opinion and justification, got a knife for the prosecution”
Hankyoreh “paved the way for the launch of the ‘check audit power’
Hankook Ilbo “The Hwaryong Prosecution Reform? The regime’s secret police? ‘Pandora’ opened ”.

The Hankyoreh reported on the front page that “the way has been opened to launch an airlift of ‘control of the judiciary'”. Among the top nine general newspapers, Hankyoreh was the only front page headline that emphasized the positive aspects of the airlift, such as “proving the prosecution power.” The Hankyoreh, however, removed the part of “checking the prosecutor’s power” from the portal’s news and changed the title of the article saying that “the way has been opened to launch the air defense agency.” The article on the first page explains the content and amendments of the plenary session on the 10th rather than the evaluation or the airlift point of view.

Page 4 “Approximately 7,000 people subject to investigation by the Airborne Division … At the initial stage, Hankyoreh wrote:” As it was an organization introduced as part of the prosecution reform, the initial investigation is expected to focus on the charges. of the prosecution “.

However, at the end of the article, “The ‘selective investigation’ of the airlift may become embroiled in the controversy of the ‘political investigation’. The ruling party removed the derogatory rights of the opposition party to the candidate for chief of the airlift, and the qualification requirements for the airlift prosecutor were relaxed considerably. For those who doubt the ‘independence’ and ‘neutrality’ of the air defense agency, it could be a target of attack. “

In Hankyoreh’s editorial “Airborne Deputy Law Amendment, the ruling party of government should be responsible for ensuring neutrality,” “It is regrettable that the non-total rights of the opposition party, a device created to allow the parties of the opposition elect a neutral air transport chief using the spirit of consensus, have been removed within a year of enactment Although it is “unusable,” he said, “this revision of the Air Transport Act is a large part of the initiative itself from the opposition party. “The amendment was forced to pass because the opposition party continued to oppose the air transport law.

On the front page of the Kyunghyang Shinmun, “The ‘Airborne Law’ was passed … Only the photo news,“ When is the Punishment Law for companies in major disasters published? ”, And the articles related to the Transport Law airs were placed on the four-page political side.The four-page article delivered the words of President Moon Jae-in and Democratic Party leader Lee Nak-yeon on the launch of the airlift.

Most of the major general newspapers had articles about the launch of the airlift on the front page, but the Kyunghyang Shinmun did not have a corresponding article on the front page, it only dealt with politics and conveyed the reaction of the president or politicians. In an editorial in the Kyunghyang Shinmun, he wrote: “It is fortunate that the airborne agency was able to launch” and “I hope I can monitor and verify the power of the particular prosecution.”

However, the editorial said that “the problem is that the controversy and concerns about the neutrality of the institution have grown in the process of launching the airlift by the ruling party,” it said. “It should also be noted that the unchecked airlift can become another powerful institution.” .

He said: “It is important that the guest public transport chief is as neutral as possible” and suggested “a plan to waive the ruling party’s right of recommendation and entrust the recommendation to an independent organization.”

In an editorial by Hankook Ilbo, “The establishment of an airlift is a symbolic measure of prosecutorial reform that people have long been anxious about along with adjusting the prosecutor’s office.” “It is desirable that the opposition parties recommend a candidate for the head of the prosecution with an almost unanimous agreement. It was difficult to determine whether to do so, ”he wrote.

While Hankyoreh, Kyunghyang Shinmun and Hankook Ilbo, the law itself welcomes the law, but regrets the removal of illegal rights from the opposition party, emphasizes procedure, and places an editorial in the form of suggesting a neutral person. Articles criticizing the amendment to the Air Transport Law were highlighted.

Kookmin Ilbo “There is also concern that everything from the appointment of the first chief of the airlift to the operation will be done according to the will of the ruling party.”
Dong-A Ilbo “Pass the Air Transport Law without the right to refuse” (p. 1)
The Seoul newspaper “Amendment to the Air Transport Law, which neutralizes the deterrence of the opposition party’s recommendation for the chief of the airlift, exceeds the threshold of the National Assembly (…) 1 side)
Segye Ilbo “Voices of concern that airborne agencies may reign over existing constitutional institutions such as the prosecution and police and become an institution loyal to the regime” (p. 1)
Chosun Ilbo “The blockade of the government investigation has begun” (p. 1)
The criticism came from the JoongAng Ilbo, “public opinion and the airlift that lost the cause” (page 1).

In an article on the cover of Chosun Ilbo, “The passport that enforced the amendment to the Air Transport Law on the 10th with the aim of launching a criminal investigation bureau of high-ranking public officials within this year has publicly stated that the first subject of the air transport investigation will be Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol. He wrote: “The Ministry of Public Affairs may launch an investigation into the case in which the Minister of Justice, Chu Mi-ae, requested disciplinary action against General Yoon.” He said that “the opposition party is looking at the possibility of taking the case to the airlift and turning the case that could threaten the regime into a fun event.”

In an editorial, Chosun Ilbo said: “Now, a person like the homeland or Chu Miae will become the head of the airlift. The regime has relaxed the requirements for the prosecutors for the airlift from 10 to 7 years. (…) Now, many Minbyun attorneys who have no judicial or prosecutorial experience will be appointed as prosecutors. “

“Even if the Daum regime recognizes the illegal corruption of the Moon regime, the Minbyun Airborne Service can interfere with the investigation as much as possible,” he said. “Perhaps this is why the regime on the Moon is so persistently obsessed with the airlift.”

Like the Chosun Ilbo, the JoongAng Ilbo cover story also read: “In addition to discipline inside and outside the prosecution, there are even observations that Yun could be the subject of the number one investigation by the airlift.” . It is also pointed out that the president can name without restrictions the chief of the airlift, who can turn into a mortal death ”.

In the editorial, the JoongAng Ilbo said that the Air Transport Ministry was “a day of destruction of the rule of law, not of completion of the reform of the institutions of power,” and wrote that the tenth day after the Revised bill of the Air Transport Law and the disciplinary committee of Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol was passed, it was a “day of destruction of the rule of law.”

On the same day 10, the meeting of the Disciplinary Commission of Prosecutors of the Ministry of Justice was held to deliberate on the sanction or not of the attorney general Yoon Seok-yeol. The disciplinary committee lasted about 9 hours from morning to night, but it was decided on the 15th with the second deadline of the next 15 without a conclusion in a fierce battle.

In the grounds of the disciplinary claim, Yoon argued that the facts were incorrect or did not correspond to the grounds for the disciplinary action.
