On the 13th, the final debate to compress in two the candidates for the first high-ranking criminal investigation chief (the chief prosecutor) ended without a conclusion.
The toilet and speed must conflict.
Resume the meeting on the 18th, discuss the recommendations again
“Coherent strategy to take time out of members of the opposition”
Red light for the ruling party’s launch target this month
On this day, the Public Transport Minister Candidate Recommendation Commissioner (Chairman Jae-yeon Cho) initiated a procedure to verify 10 candidates for the Public Transport Minister and compress the number of doubles, but could not reduce the disagreement between the members of the nominating committee. In particular, in the selection process of the ‘candidate for exclusion’, the opinions of the Democratic Party and the People’s Power Recommendation Committee and the three members of the nominating committee (Minister of Justice, Minister of Court Administration and President of the Korean Bar Association) came into conflict.
Immediately after the meeting, the nominating committee said: “A consensus was formed among the nominating committee regarding the criteria for candidate verification. He said: “However, we are gathering opinions that there are additional things to check for the nomination of candidates.” The recommendations committee is scheduled to call an additional meeting on the 18th and once again try to compress the candidates for the chief of the airlift.
In addition to military service and property details, which are the existing verification items, the need for additional verification was raised at today’s meeting. In particular, members of the opposition nominating committee expressed concerns about political bias towards some candidates with a history of joining the political party and raised the need for further verification.
Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae met with reporters after the meeting and said: “Members of the nominating committee have questions about the 10 candidates, so they made an opinion to get more information.” “(Each nominating committee) expressed their opinions and asked and answered questions.” Minister Chu said, “We have decided not to receive additional nominations for candidates other than 10 candidates,” regarding the possibility of additional candidates being nominated for the Minister of Public Transportation.
Professor Kim Jong-cheol from Yonsei University Law School and lawyer Park Gyeong-joon, members of the ruling party’s nominating committee, emphasized the speed of the nomination process at the meeting. As the legal deadline (July 15) for the launch of the Air Transport Ministry had passed four months, the intention was to finish the candidate compression procedure as soon as possible. On the other hand, lawyers Lim Jeong-hyuk and Lee Heon, who recommend members of the opposition party, emphasized the position that “although it takes a long time, we must verify it meticulously and carefully.” Lee also said, “There was a division among the recommendation committees to proceed with the recommendation process quickly and do so carefully.” The following are questions and answers with Lee’s attorney.
- What was the problem between the members of the nominating committee?
- “(Regarding the candidate nomination process), the position was divided between fast and prudent. It took time because I couldn’t find the point of contact. “
- What part of the candidate decided to check additionally?
- “Since we have to report two (candidates) to the president, we need basic personnel verification data. Military service, property, family relationships, real estate, etc. Many of the candidates were missing data. There are some additional requirements and some that require self-clarification. “
- Are you calling for candidates for the next meeting?
- “There were some people who suggested at the meeting but didn’t (in the opinion). That (the ruling party) exercised non-total rights. We believe that a written response is necessary, even if it is not a direct or indirect interview (response) ”.
The next meeting was scheduled, but it is not yet clear if the two finalists can be compressed at that time. In fact, after the meeting that day, the nominating committee member who wanted to remain anonymous said: “It appears that the time-taking strategy of the opposition nominating committee has been successful.” The meeting did not even reach the stage of expressing who the ruling party or members of the opposition nominating committee would support. The discussion is said to have been completed to the level of inquiring and presenting the strengths of the 10-member candidates, raising issues and clarifying to the parties via phone or text message.
Consequently, a red light was lit on the Democratic Party’s goal of launching an airlift within this month. In particular, as the chairman of the Democratic Party, Lee Nak-yeon, emphasized in the Supreme Council the day that “the launch of the airlift is important for both stability and speed,” there is no way to criticize the arguments of opposition recommenders who emphasize thorough verification as “catching the ankles.” . An official from the Judiciary Committee of the National Assembly Democratic Party said: “Is it not possible to say, ‘Let’s finish quickly and quickly’ in response to a more comprehensive verification request?” As there is, it is urgent to prepare measures ”.
Currently, there are 10 candidates for the Ministry of Public Transport who have been recommended by the nominating committee. The Democratic Party recommended lawyers Jeon Jong-min and Kwon Dong-ju, former judges, and the power of the people, recommended lawyers Seok Dong-hyeon, Kim Gyeong-su and Kang Chan-woo, who were former prosecutors. Minister Cho recommended lawyer Jeon Hyun-jung and Dean Cho recommended lawyer Choi Woon-sik. The three candidates recommended by the Korean Bar Association are Kim Jin-wook, Principal Investigator of the Constitutional Court, Lee Kun-ri, Vice Chairman of the National Rights Committee, and lawyer Han Myung-gwan.
When the recommendation committee finally selects the first two candidates for the post of chief airlift, the president nominates one of them and the nomination process is complete. The final candidate is appointed head of the Airborne Department after a National Assembly staff hearing.
