In addition, on the 9th, the Legislative and Judicial Committee for the amendment of the Fair Trade Law, which deleted the content of the ‘Abolition of the exclusive complaints of the Fair Trade Commission against serious business collusion (Gyeongseong collusion)’, which it was originally included in the original government draft as part of the Democratic Party’s reform of the chaebol. Once the decision was made, it was passed to the plenary session (257 present, 142 in favor, 71 against, 44 abstentions).
The exclusive accusation system is a system in which investigations can be carried out only with a complaint from the Fair Trade Commission for cases of violations of the Fair Trade Law, such as collusion, and voices were raised that it should be abolished to cut the close relationship between the Fair Trade Commission and large companies. The Democratic Party also pledged to abolish the exclusive prosecution system during the 2017 presidential election and the 2020 general election.
With the exclusive prosecution system maintained, criticism has come not only from civil society but also within the Democratic Party that “the economic democratization reform has regressed enormously.” On the 8th, the day before, the Democratic Party’s so-called “ fair economy ” took place after the Democratic Party resolved an amendment to the trade law that significantly removed the “ 3% rule ” (restriction of the separate election of the members of the audit committee and the sum of the voting rights of the main shareholders and specially related persons up to a maximum of 3%). It is said that ‘Law 3’ (Amendment to the Commercial Law, Amendment to the Fair Trade Law and Promulgation of the Financial Group Supervision Law) has become ineffective.
The Democratic Party held a general meeting of the Judicial Committee in the National Assembly that day and voted on the amendment to the Fair Trade Law, which retained the exclusive right of complaint from the Fair Trade Commission. Previously, some Democratic Party lawmakers opposed the views of the Political Affairs Committee, which is the standing committee under the jurisdiction of the bill, but on this day the judicial committee was dealt with silently without any objection. It was also approved in the plenary session.
Not only the content of the withdrawn invoice, but also the invoice processing process is also on the cutting board. On the 7th, the Political Affairs Committee of the Democratic Party said it would change the content of the government’s proposal to abolish exclusive prosecution in August and maintain exclusive prosecution. However, at 7:45 pm on the 8th, the Democratic Party passed a bill that abolished the exclusive right of impeachment to seek the consent of the Justice Party legislator, Bae Jin-kyo, who had a pot of casting as a committee member Ahn Jeonjeong. However, in the plenary session of the Committee on Political Affairs held at 11 p.m., which was only 3 hours later, he again reversed his position, presented an amendment to the content of keeping the accusation exclusive, and wrote a “ trick ” to solve it immediately.
The Justice Party condemned this saying: “The Democratic Party deceived me and took advantage of me.” Justice Party Leader Eun-mi Kang and Justice Party Lawmaker Jang Hye-young personally visited Democratic Party Leader Kim Tae-nyeon this morning to protest.

Furthermore, the Democratic Party’s rationale for maintaining the exclusive right of impeachment is that “if the exclusive right of prosecution is abolished, the authority of the prosecution over corporate investigations increases, which is not in line with the current tax reform.”
Han Jeong-ae Chairman of the Policy Committee on the 9th <오마이뉴스>“We leave it to the judgment of the Standing Committee (Committee on Political Affairs) on the exclusive indictment,” he said. “The issue of the abolition of the exclusive prosecution system should be considered as the issue of the reform of the institutions of power such as the prosecution.” A chairman of a policy committee said: “Someday after the prosecution reform ends the issue of the abolition of exclusive indictments?” But did not respond at the specific time.
Representative Kim Byeong-wook (Bundang-eul, Seongnam), Democratic Party Secretary of the Political Affairs Committee, also proposed an amendment to the content of the maintenance of exclusive impeachment rights in the plenary session on the night of the 8th, saying: “In relation to the abolition of exclusive complaints (without a complaint from the FTC, the prosecution will investigate the violation of the Fair Trade Act). If possible), he said,” there are concerns such as the question of the coordination of the right of prosecutors to investigate, duplication of investigations by the prosecution and separate investigations, “he said.” Please deal with the amendment as soon as possible. “
Even within the Democratic Party, there is a backlash called “obvious reform and rollback.” The multiple members of the Democratic Party’s political committee <오마이뉴스>It was criticized: “The abolition of the exclusive complaints system in this revision of the Fair Trade Law is the result of the relaxation of the ‘3% rule’ of the amendment to the Trade Law, and the purpose of reforming the chaebols it has largely faded. ” Democratic Party lawmaker Park Yong-jin (Seoul Gangbuk-eul), a member of the Political Affairs Committee, also said on CBS radio ‘Kim Hyun-jung’s News Show’: “He is not satisfied that the amendment to the Fair Trade Law as long as the exclusive prosecution rights were once again maintained. “
A Democratic Party official familiar with the decision to retain exclusive prosecution rights said: “The party’s discourse that prosecution powers will be strengthened if the FTC’s exclusive prosecution rights disappear is also very unconvincing.” did. This official also noted that “it doesn’t make sense for prosecutors to suddenly be hard at work on ‘corporate investigations’ rather than ‘political investigations’ just because the FTC’s exclusive prosecution rights disappear.”
The official said: “The connection between the Fair Trade Commission and the company that uses the entire government office is as serious as the connection between politics and the prosecution, which is currently in the middle of a problem,” he said. “I don’t know why they change their words about the long-standing task of the progressive camp. All the justifications that could be called this ‘fair economy law’ have disappeared.”

Civil society strongly opposes it. The Participatory Solidarity Economic and Financial Center issued a statement on the 9th, saying: “It is difficult to understand that the Democratic Party has agreed to abolish the exclusive accusation of collusion in Gyeongseong, which was included in the government’s agenda, and withdrew it in The general assembly”. “The ruling party succumbed to pressure from the conservative and corporate economy,” he criticized. The abolition of exclusive indictments has been strongly rejected by the Korean Chamber of Commerce and other business circles.
The Solidarity Participation said: “The abolition of the exclusive indictments by the FTC is a matter that the Democratic Party has constantly opened to the public through its promises of the presidential elections of 2017 and the promises of general elections of 2020,” he said . “Although the ruling party has a golden opportunity to deliver on its promises, seeing that the implementation of the bill is withdrawn, people will be stunned.” They urged: “The Democratic Party must reflect and apologize for the unscrupulous appearance it displayed in the process of handling the amendment to the Fair Trade Law.”
Justice Party lawmaker Bae Jin-gyo (Proportional Representative) also appeared on tbs radio ‘Kim Eo-jun News Factory’ on the same day and said: “Although the Fair Commission said it would abolish the exclusive prosecution rights for Kyungsung’s collusion, the Democratic Party will keep it. ” “If you don’t even want to just abolish the exclusive prosecution rights for hardship collusion, not a total abolition, from the point of view of the claim, is it true that this will be a ‘fair economy’?”
