The ‘Chu Mi-ae and Yoon Seok-yeol Government Investigation’ workshop is shaking up the National Assembly. On the 27th, the people’s power demanded a national investigation of the party leadership from the first elected legislators. Lee Nak-yeon, the leader of the Democratic Party, who launched the topic of the investigation into state affairs for the first time in politics, mentioned the need for the investigation as well, but the other party leadership said: “The insensitivity to rights President Yoon’s humans who released the judge’s inspection documents. ” I was absorbed. The ruling party’s internal reaction to the state affairs investigation is almost negative.

Ho-young Joo, the National Power of People’s Power, criticized at the delegation meeting in the morning, saying, “Minister Chu Mi-ae is destroying the rule of law in Korea. At this point, he is confused if it is a strategy of a madman or a madman “. About an hour later, Kim Seong-won, Senior Vice President of the People’s Power, visited the Department of Ophthalmology of the National Assembly and submitted a request for a national investigation. 110 legislators, including 103 people, 3 people from the National Assembly and 4 independents, were included in the request.

Members of the National Assembly Legislative Justice Committee held a press conference before the general meeting of the Yeouido Judicial Committee in Seoul on the 27th and confiscated, saying: “Among the items secured through the seizure and search of the Bureau of Investigation and Information from the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office, it is said that investigative intelligence on prominent passport personnel was included. ” Requested verification of search materials.

In addition, members of the Judicial Commission of the People’s Power held a press conference that day and requested verification of the material seized and searched, saying: “It is said that the articles seized and registered in the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office on the 25th at the request of the Ministry of Justice , Chu Miae, included research information from passport personnel. ” Spokesperson Kim Eun-hye and other first-choice lawmakers visited the Blue House in protest with the ‘President’s Questionnaire’. The force of the people is in the form of a general offensive from the party leadership to the first elections.

Until now, the power of the people was rarely used. In June, the Chairman of the Standing Committee was handed over to the Democratic Party, and in July, I had to watch the Democratic Party handle the Third Leasing Law on its own. Recently, the government has come under pressure to enforce amendments to the Air Transport Law. The main representative of the hospital complained: “I feel helpless and despised.”

However, the atmosphere has changed since the President Yoon incident. “The situation of the so-called ‘fall and fall’ is uniting the party,” said the 3rd Congressman of Fuerza Popular. “President Yoon’s charges are shocking. President Lee Nak-yeon’s statements, “Please review the state affairs investigation,” also means that the people are putting their strength in the power of the people.

The silence of President Moon Jae-in, the person in charge of personnel, also created a justification for targeting the Blue House. The power of the people was followed by a banner (backdrop) of President Moon’s “past comments” at the party meeting. That day, Backdrop was President Han Moon’s comment at last year’s President Yoon’s appointment conferring ceremony: “If there is corruption in power, please take a strict attitude.”

On this day, CEO Nak-yeon Lee repeatedly emphasized the need to investigate state affairs, saying, “If the National Assembly neglects the suspicion of a judge’s inspection, he is an accomplice.” Regarding the timing of the investigation, however, he took a step back and said: “Let’s look at the investigation by the Ministry of Justice and the prosecution.”

But the atmosphere of the party is different. Previously, the Democratic Party faced the judicial committee from 25 to 26, when the popular power demanded the assistance of President Yoon, “Why do you call the disciplined person to the National Assembly?” On the 26th, Judicial Commissioner Yoon Ho-jung forcibly ended the meeting, and ruling and opposition lawmakers went to Goseong.

A key member of the Democratic Party said in the call with JoongAng Ilbo: “The moment we investigate state affairs, the ‘Suk-yeol Yoon Show’ takes place. I don’t want that. “It is in the same context as the comments,” It is not that we will investigate state affairs, but that it is a serious problem “(Representative Jong-min Kim) and” You need to be cautious “(Representative Park Ju-min ).

There is also an analysis that there is a different reason why CEO Lee yelled ‘I only investigate state affairs’. Lee, who has to resign before March 9 of next year to stand in the presidential election, has less than 100 days in office. There is also pressure to make a clear voice on the reform of the prosecution in response to demands from supporters of the moon who hold the key to the presidential election. A member of the Democratic Party said: “With the rise of President Yoon as a presidential candidate and Minister Chu is also receiving praise from the moon’s supporters, he would have decided that Lee should show a strong appearance against the impeachment.”
