인사청문 정국 본격화…국힘 “재판 취소 올인하나” 김승원 파상공세

The upcoming September 1st regular sessions of the National Assembly are set to see a full-scale briefing on the personnel affairs of the Ministry of Justice, according to projections. The People's Power Party has announced that they will label four candidates as "unsuitable" - Kim Seung-won for the Ministry of Justice, Hee-jin Hong for the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Jang Dong-hyuk for the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, and Eun Hye-in for the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.

The Democratic Party has vowed to firmly respond to what they call "corrupt and slanderous politics." The People's Power Party has launched a full-scale assault on Kim Seung-won, with Party leader Jeong Dong-hyuk describing the process as "the final joint announcement to accept the cancellation of the trial." Some in the ruling party argue that this is the "final, desperate effort of the left-leaning coalition to save President Jeomean."

They argue that if Kim Seung-won becomes a minister, they will press for control over the Prosecutor General's Office, aiming to stop this president's potential wrongdoing. Kim Seung-won did not directly comment on this during his meeting with journalists, but stated that "the most urgent task is establishing a new criminal law system in the 70-year history of the Republic of Korea," and that he would wait to comment further on the current situation.

The People's Power Party also criticized the Economic and Transport ministers-in-waiting, Hee-jin Hong and Eun Hye-in, for their failures in policy design and implementation, accusing them of "designing and executing flawed policies."
