After twists and turns, the first two candidates were selected to lead the criminal investigation agency of high-ranking public officials, and as early as next month, the airborne agency was launched.

However, the members of the opposition nominating committee left office due to procedural injustice, and the people’s power was also annulled and a legal response announced.

Reporter Choi A-young reports.

166 days after the entry into force of the Law on Criminal Investigations of Senior Officials, two candidates were decided for the first airborne chief that he would recommend to the president.

[조재연 / 공수처장 후보추천 위원장 : 김진욱 헌법재판소 선임헌법연구관과 이건리 국민권익위원회 부위원장을 공수처장 후보자로 최종 선정했음을 발표합니다.]

Both candidates are recommended by the Korean Bar Association. Principal Investigator Kim is a former judge and Vice President Lee is a former prosecutor.

The meeting started with all 7 nominating committee members present, but only 5 people, excluding members of the opposition nominating committee, participated in the vote.

On this day, the opposition party’s new recommender Han Seok-hoon insisted on recommending a new candidate, but the members of the opposition party’s nominating committee were left half-out without being accepted.

[한석훈 / 국민의힘 공수처장 후보 추천위원 : 저는 면면을 봤을 때 지금 현재 제출돼 있는 후보들만으로는, 심사대상자만으로는 그런 중요한 자리를 맡을 분이 별로 안 보여서….]

Consequently, the people’s power predicted a legal response, saying that it was “invalid” that deprived the opposition party of the verification authority.

[주호영 / 국민의힘 원내대표 : 이헌·한석훈 추천위원들의 추천권 침해로 인한 이 결정의 효력 집행정지를 구하는 절차를 밟을 것으로 알고 있습니다.]

On the other hand, the Democratic Party defended that he was a good candidate for the chief of the airlift in terms of neutrality and fairness.

At the same time, we decided to engage in a speed battle for the airlift launch next month.

[최인호 / 더불어민주당 수석 대변인 : 국민의힘은 이제는 공수처 출범을 막을 수 없다는 사실을 명심하고 공수처 출범에 적극 협력해야 할 것입니다.]

Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae also welcomed the nominations after the meeting.

[추미애 / 법무부 장관 : 여러 가지 이유로 늦었지만, 늦게나마 이렇게 훌륭한 두 분의 후보를 추천할 수 있게 돼서 다행스럽게 생각합니다.]

After that, when President Moon Jae-in nominates one of the two candidates, the first chief of the airlift is expected to be appointed through a National Assembly staff hearing.

However, despite opposition from the force of the people, the pain seems inevitable even during the staff hearing process.
