조국 “이 대통령 사건, ‘공소 취소’ 말고 ‘면소’로 가야”

The Innovation Policy Research Director of the Joguk Party, Jo, stated that the presidential campaign law violation case involving President Jeomun should not be resolved through "cancellation of indictment" but through "withdrawal of indictment" by amending the law. In his Facebook post from the 6th, Jo highlighted that many lawmakers and media are overlooking the fact that a bill regarding the withdrawal of indictment has been under consideration by the Law and Justice Committee since May 14th, 2025.

He emphasized that if this bill passes, it will impact the ongoing Yunsuk Lee case and the future Jeomun case, resulting in a "withdrawal of indictment" for both. Jo cautioned against misinterpretations by "mentally exhausted fake news commentators" and emphasized that the issue of revisiting the "false information disclosure" crime is not a partisan matter.

He argued that the aim is to prevent the politicization of law enforcement and judicial processes. Jo urged responsible politicians to accurately understand and address these distinctions, urging the LDM and the GIM to expedite the presentation of the presidential election law amendment bill in the assembly. He also stressed that the authority to monitor "tampering inspections" lies with the Ministry of Justice and the Central Prosecutors' Office, while the authority to investigate and amend problematic legal provisions rests with the National Assembly.

Jo concluded by advising the National Assembly to stop the over-legislation and judicialization of politics.
