Democratic Party President Lee Nak-yeon said on Facebook “There has been growing public concern that the Republic of Korea is subject to excessive judicial control. I hear that the legalization of politics and the politicization of the judiciary have exceeded the dangerous level.”And wrote. Democratic Party Supreme Commissioner Shin Dong-geun, a member of the National Assembly’s legal and judicial justices, said through Facebook the night before that the prosecution’s request for suspension of execution and the decision to cite the court were referred to as “Alliance of Privileged Groups” and “strong resistance of the legal cartels to stick to criminal and judicial power Against this backdrop, he made a determination to systematically and strongly promote intensive prosecution reform and judicial reform to systematically establish democratic control and civil control.”

However, the party decided not to draw the front line with the court. Another participant said, “If you look at the judgment on the previous day, the court considers the reasons for punishment by President Yoon very seriously, and in the case of the judgment against Professor Kyung-Shim Chung on the 23rd, the aspect of the judge’s personal disposition is largely reflected. I made it clear with’.’ Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Yong-min, who attended the meeting, wrote on Facebook that “consistently promote reform through the system, but must hold accountability for wrong prosecutors (including the president) to establish justice.”
It was the atmosphere of the passport as a whole that hostility toward the prosecution and the court was prevalent. President Lim Jong-seok, who declared his retirement from ‘institutional politics’ last year, “The prosecution’s attitude and the court’s interpretation. It exudes a very unfamiliar sense of choice and a familiar smell of vested interests.”Posted a post on Facebook. It was a post after breaking long silence after the last 4·15 general election. Special reporter Lim also suggested returning to politics by posting a post saying, “I must find something to do so that democracy is not weakened too easily, and the President is not lonely.” On this day, the post on the bulletin board of the rights party on the Democratic Party’s homepage was “This was because the prosecution and court could not reform in a timely manner with 180 seats.” “I will pay 20 times more party expenses, so please protect the president.”

There were only a few magnetism within the party. An inscription-oriented lawmaker sighed, “If you spend your energy talking about the judgment of the judiciary in accordance with political affiliation, the only thing left is that the approval ratings of President Moon and the party fall.” A former legislator, a non-mainstream party in the party, said, “Criticizing the judiciary isn’t in good shape, but I don’t know what those who support the president are doing. Even now, you have to admit the wrong part and correct it even if one limb is cut to some extent.”
However, even in the mainstream of the party, there were not a few voices that the sooner was the better the replacement of Minister Chu Mi-ae. The key Democratic Party officials talked with the JoongAng Ilbo on this day. “Since I have already expressed my gratitude, and this situation has occurred, there is no way that my gratitude will be overturned.”Saying “If you were disciplined, you had to take good care of it so that it could be accepted, but there are many regrets.”Said. A member of the Seoul region also said, “Minister Chu should take a clear responsibility and handle it neatly so that the president doesn’t have a spark.” One 3rd line lawmaker in the metropolitan area “It is true that the extortion of Yoon, which started from the time of the investigation of the former Minister of Korea, was pushed forward.”Saying “The problem was the irrationality of Minister Chu.
