\nPresident Lee Jae Myung will have a dinner with the new leadership of the Democratic Party of Korea this week, followed by a luncheon with all members of the Democratic Party. It is interpreted as a schedule to resolve subtle tensions between the party and the presidential office, and to speed up the handling of major state affairs such as the Mega Special Zone Act, the Yongsan Park Special Act, and the supplementation of next year’s tax reform plan. President Lee’s plan to reform the power structure in mind is also pointed out as a key national task to be pursued under the Democratic Party of Korea’s Kim Min-seok system.<\/p>\n

In this regard, presidential spokesman Kang Yoo-jung said on the 22nd, “President Lee will invite Democratic lawmakers to the presidential guesthouse on the 28th for a luncheon.” Democratic Party lawmakers will head to Cheong Wa Dae from the 27th after a workshop for lawmakers in preparation for the regular National Assembly, which will be held for two days and one night in Yeongjong-do, Incheon. On the 25th, President Lee will invite the new leadership of the Democratic Party, including Chairman Kim Min-seok, to Cheong Wa Dae for a dinner meeting.\n<\/p>\n

As rapid legislation is essential to speed up the implementation of state affairs, legislative discussions on current issues such as mega projects and housing supply are expected to take place. Inside and outside the Blue House, there are also expectations that communication between the party and the presidential office will be an opportunity to become closer.\n<\/p>\n

First of all, as the Democratic Party of Korea announced its plan to pass the amendment to the Special Act on the Creation of Yongsan Park at the plenary session of the National Assembly on the 26th, talks on housing supply in Seoul are expected to take place at the dinner on the 25th. The amendment is intended to ease the standards for parks and green areas applied to ‘Camp Kim’ sites adjacent to the southern and triangular areas, and is currently pending at the plenary session. Announcing the real estate measures on January 29 at the beginning of the year, the government said it would supply 2,500 households to Camp Kim, the site of the return of the U.S. military in Yongsan, by expanding the volume from the existing 1,400 households. The bill is separate from the development of Yongsan Park site, where the government and Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon are at odds with each other, but is expected to signal government legislation to supply large-scale youth rental housing to Yongsan.\n<\/p>\n

Future response funds and megaproject legislation that allow them to accumulate and utilize additional tax revenues created by the semiconductor boom will also be discussed. The government considered the so-called “white-collar executive” to remove the upper limit of 52 hours a week for top 3% managers and R&D personnel in mega-special zones such as semiconductor clusters in the Honam region, but labor circles are strongly protesting.\n<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy says it is an essential measure to strengthen the competitiveness of high-tech industries, but the ruling party is demanding careful review, so the possibility of President Lee directly coordinating cannot be ruled out.\n<\/p>\n

As the Central Criminal Investigation Agency and the Public Prosecution Service are set to be launched in October, follow-up legislative discussions are also expected following the revision of the Criminal Procedure Act. The Democratic Party of Korea vowed to pass the “Seven Crimes Transmission” bill in consideration of concerns that the abolition of the supplementary investigation rights could damage the socially disadvantaged. This is a system that allows the police to fail to cover cases on their own and hand them over to the prosecution (public prosecution) for seven major crimes related to the socially disadvantaged, such as child abuse, domestic violence, and sexual crimes.\n<\/p>\n

Attention is also focusing on whether discussions will take place on the “Yoon Suk Yeol regime manipulation prosecution special prosecution bill,” which was proposed in April and was put on hold due to controversy. Although there is not much criticism over the bill, Kim has expressed his position during the national convention that “if the prosecution of manipulation is found, the prosecution should be canceled.” In the meantime, former Democratic Party lawmaker Noh Woong-rae, who was recently indicted by prosecutors in the Yoon Suk Yeol government on charges of the Political Fund Act, was acquitted in the second trial, which is said to have secured momentum to pursue the special prosecution law again.\n<\/p>\n

As Cheong Wa Dae and the judiciary recently clashed head-on, there is a possibility that discussions on ways to reform the judiciary will take place. Cheong Wa Dae directly responded to Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae’s request for a new Supreme Court justice candidate to President Lee in writing, saying, “It was a one-way notice that did not respect the president’s right to appoint.” President Lee is likely to reject the request after hearing opinions from the ruling party’s leadership on how to respond to Cho’s written proposal. As the abolition of the court administration has reignited, discussions on judicial reform may come and go.\n<\/p>\n

Attention is also focusing on whether the reshuffle will take place with the resignation of Justice Minister Chung Sung-ho. Inside and outside the Blue House, there is a possibility that the position of Minister of SMEs and Startups and the position of Attorney General, which have been vacant due to the appointment of Prime Minister Seong Sook Han, will be given tweezers and later reshuffled with a time difference. In particular, there is a possibility that President Lee may ask the ruling party for his opinion on selecting an incumbent lawmaker as a minister, as the membership of the parliament is so active that it is considered a “de facto parliamentary cabinet system” in the Lee Jae Myung government. Representatives Park Kyun-taek and Lee Kun-tae, who were former prosecutors, are being mentioned to replace Minister Chung.\n<\/p>\n
