On the 29th, the people’s power strongly condemned the prosecution’s investigation into the suspicion of the son of the Minister of Justice, Chu Mi-ae, for preferential military service and announced that it will pursue a special prosecution at the National Assembly level. This is because, despite the evidence that Minister Chu gave the contact information of the military officers to the assistant through the investigation, it is not possible to convince the result of the investigation that “the situation was not found. in which the minister directly involved in the request “. In addition, a fierce request for “voluntary resignation” was raised after a false clarification from the prime minister, who attended the National Assembly on several occasions and said he did not intervene in connection with his son’s military service.
Policy for filing and appealing to special prosecutors for “investigations full of insolvency investigation”
On this day, one day before the Chuseok holiday, the village force devoted itself to condemning the results of the insolvency investigation of the prosecutor’s office of Minister Chu’s son. Kim Jong-in, chairman of the emergency countermeasures committee, said: “I couldn’t help but be disappointed when I saw the announcement of the investigation results.” Ho-young Joo also held a general meeting of the House of Representatives, gathered opinions within the party, met with journalists, and expressed the official position of the party, saying, “We decided to promote a special prosecution.”
At the same time, he also established a policy to appeal to related parties, including Minister Chu. Representative Yoo Sang-beom, a former prosecutor, said, “We will determine the reason for the complaint and then decide whether to appeal it.” I’ll worry about that. “
He cannot be punished for false explanations three times … “Perjury in front of people … Take responsibility for yourself”
The opposition also launched an offensive over Minister Chu’s false clarification about the National Assembly. Representative Jeon Ju-hye noted in the Eui-Chong that “the comments made by Minister Chu in the National Assembly are false” and that “I strongly urge Minister Chu to take responsibility for the lies that have been made many times. “. In the plenary session of the Special Budget and Accounting Commission of the National Assembly on day 1, when the opposition legislator asked him: “Is the assistant given an order?”, Minister Chu denied that the assistant receives an instruction on such private matters. “I clearly reiterate that there was no fact that they told me to call the assistant,” he said. Furthermore, at the National Assembly staff hearing in December last year, Minister Chu said, “I have not been involved in (related to my son’s vacation)” as a candidate. However, during the prosecution’s investigation, it was revealed that Minister Chu gave the unit captain’s contact information to his assistant and even received a report.
It was confirmed that Minister Chu made a false explanation in the National Assembly, but there is no other way to take legal responsibility other than moral responsibility for this. This is because, for perjury to be applied, the speaker must be a witness or appraiser attending the National Assembly audit or investigation in the National Assembly in accordance with the ‘Law of Testimony and Valuation in the Assembly National, etc. ‘ Minister Chu, who attended the government question of the National Assembly or the permanent committee as a member of the Council of State, is not eligible. The same goes for the personnel hearings, which were candidates. Hearing subjects are not subject to perjury.
For this reason, the opposition is also focusing its offensive on taking moral responsibility and resigning voluntarily rather than directly accusing Minister Chu. Representative Kim Do-eup, secretary of the opposition party of the Legislative Judicial Commission, said: “I will study how to legally regulate the fact that a member of the Council of State came to the National Assembly and lied.” If you do, you must take strict responsibility. “
