[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Lee Dong-seop, Acting Floor Leader of the Bareunmirae Party, stated on the 7th regarding the adjustment of investigative authority between the prosecution and police, "Although there are still differences in detailed positions between the ruling and opposition parties, we will actively coordinate the disagreements between the two parties so that the bills adjusting investigative authority between the prosecution and police can be passed by consensus at the plenary session to be held on the 9th."

At the floor strategy meeting held at the National Assembly on the same day, Acting Floor Leader Lee said, "It is time to move away from the outdated vertical investigative command structure and for the police and prosecution to cooperate as investigative agencies to protect the safety and human rights of the people."

He emphasized, "The police should be granted more autonomy from the first stage of investigation to effectively maintain public order at the forefront of everyday life, and the prosecution should faithfully perform its original role of judicial control."

Regarding former lawmaker Ahn Cheol-soo's return to politics, Acting Floor Leader Lee said, "This is very welcome news not only for the Bareunmirae Party but also for the people who have been waiting," and added, "I hope that former lawmaker Ahn will present the future vision he has been developing in Germany and the United States to the people so that the Republic of Korea can move forward again."
