Chung Je-sik, floor leader of People’s Power, urged Lee Jae Myung’s president on the 1st to withdraw his nomination for justice minister Kim Seung-won and declare that he will go to trial.

“President Lee chose the best person for the ‘Minister in charge of canceling the prosecution’ to cancel his trial,” floor leader Chung said at a floor meeting held at the National Assembly. “Among the six ministerial candidates, Kim Seung-won is the 0th person to withdraw his nomination.”

He claimed that candidate Kim usually took the lead in canceling the prosecution and criticized, “The appointment of a super-hardliner Kim, who will not even notice the least, is a message to the public that the top priority of state affairs in his second year in office is the cancellation of the prosecution.” “Rep. Kim is not qualified to oversee legal administration,” he said, adding, “President Lee should withdraw his nomination and declare five letters of ‘I will be tried’.”

Floor leader Chung also pointed out the delay in appointing the police chief. “The police have been in the acting system for a year and eight months, but the appointment of the police chief was also excluded from the reshuffle,” he said. “Review the abolition of the supplementary investigation right and immediately appoint the police chief.”
