On the 13th, the Candidate Recommendation Committee for the Chief of the Senior Public Official Crime Investigation Office (KPA) held a marathon “verification meeting” to select two finalists. The ruling party and the government, which are trying to speed up the launch of the airlift, beat Bae-jin to select the final candidate on this day, while the opposition party emphasized ‘careful verification’, and the battle escalated during the whole encounter. Finally, the recommendation committee decided to meet again on the 18th without condensing the candidates.
“Wrap up today” versus “I need enough time”
The recommendations committee held a meeting in the National Assembly starting at 10 a.m. and began verifying candidates. The meeting was attended by Cho Jae-yeon, Minister of Court Administration, Cho Jae-yeon, Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae, President of the Korean Bar Association, Lee Chan-hee, the President of the Korean Bar Association, attorneys Park Gyeong-joon and Prof.
Among the 11 preliminary candidates recommended by the 7 members of the nominating committee, 10 members, except those who indicated their intention to resign, were screened not only for property, military service, and family relationships, but also for ability, neutrality. and equity of holding as a candidate for Minister of Air Transport.
Both the ruling party and the opposition parties made a voice saying that they would elect a neutral and fair person, but the speed of the verification made the fight intensify. Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae, a member of the nominating committee, said: “(The launch of the airlift) has been delayed for a long time, so I hope it concludes today.” “All the members of the nominating committee are deciding.” . However, attorney Lee Heon, the opposition party’s top recommender, declined to say “I don’t know” when asked, “Can we come to a conclusion today?” In a meeting with reporters, Ho-Young Joo, the head of the People’s Power, said: “As for whether to approve or disapprove (for the air bridge chief candidate), it is only possible to judge whether there is enough data available, such as personal information”. He stressed that sufficient verification time is needed.
野 … 與 press “delays will neutralize non-total rights”
Those who took the lead in the meeting were the recommenders from the opposition parties. 6 of the 7 nominating committee members must approve it before the final candidate can be selected. If the two recommending members of the negative opposition party raise their objections to the launch of the airlift, the verification process will inevitably be prolonged.
Furthermore, the Democratic Party claimed that if the opposition party deliberately delays the verification of the candidate, it could revise the related law to hand over the option to the president of the National Assembly. The chief spokesman for the Democratic Party, Choi In-ho, said: “If the situation comes to an end without any progress today and staff hearings become impossible in November, we have no choice but to consider alternatives.” “The insignia of the judiciary is scheduled for early next week.” . If verification is delayed, a warning message was sent that the Democratic Party could approve the amendment to the Air Transportation Act initiated by the Representative of the same party. This amendment contained the content of giving up the right to recommend the final candidate to the president of the National Assembly instead of neutralizing the deterrence of the opposition party.
The recommendation committee decided to hold an additional meeting on the 18th without condensing the candidates through this meeting. After the meeting, the recommendations committee issued a press release and said: “We share our opinion that there are additional things to check for recommendations.”
