National Assembly Speaker Park Byung-seok said it is necessary to review whether the 2022 presidential elections and national local elections are held at the same time. He said: “In the first half of next year, presidential and local elections will be held every three months. Considerable consumption of national energy is expected.” “He said.

This is a statement made by some members of the Korean Democratic Party in May. Since the time interval between the next presidential elections (scheduled for March 9) and the local elections (June 1) is only three months, the purpose of the simultaneous elections was to avoid wasted costs and the division of public opinion due to frequent national elections.

However, for this to happen, it is necessary to review the Public Officials Elections Law. This is a difficult task considering the opinions found among the opposition parties on the revision or abolition of the quasi-linked proportional representation system introduced at the time of the 21 general elections, and the position of the opposition parties considering the disadvantages of the simultaneous elections.

In this regard, President Park also expressed his intention to re-propose an official proposal to the ruling and opposition parties when the crown issue subsides.

When asked about the task of the National Assembly in the first half of 21, he said: “It is to reduce the national energy consumption and protect the health of the people from the crisis of the crown.” Furthermore, he said, “If the electoral system (quasi-linked proportional representation system) was supplemented and revised, which resulted in a different result than the original purpose, and the question of constitutional amendment what would happen if the first half of the 21 Assembly Nacional is not successful, it is a task in the first half of the 21 “.

“I hope that the ruling party is committed to finishing the adjustment of the judicial authority as soon as possible.”

On the other hand, President Park Byung-seok gave only a fundamental answer to the question of the redistribution of the chairman of the criminal investigation agency of high-ranking civil servants (KAI) and the redistribution of the permanent presidents.

“In accordance with legal procedure, the opposition party has already requested that the nominating committee be recommended to the regular National Assembly in accordance with the law,” said President Park. Said.

When asked, “Do you think it is necessary to redistribute the permanent presidents of the National Assembly, currently occupied by the Democratic Party, by opposition parties?” I will actively mediate. “

However, it was a position that the adjustment of the system and the rights of self-examination of the Judicial Legislative Committee of the National Assembly should proceed. President Park said, “After the regular National Assembly ends, the reform of the National Assembly must also be accelerated.” “The ‘National Assembly that does a good job’ is a joint promise of the opposition parties. I hope that the ruling party’s promise to coordinate the authority of the judicial committee will be completed as soon as possible.”

Regarding the issue of the ‘transfer of administrative capital’, “The issue of administrative capital needs to find a form of articulation between the metropolitan area and the provinces. It is an important issue and there is controversy, so the process of achieving public consensus is critical. Although the development is a firm conviction, please understand that there is a limit to expressing an official position of either party. “
