[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The People Power Party referred to the ruling party-led so-called 'Fair Economy 3 Acts' as the 'Corporate Regulation 3 Acts' and countered by asking, "Can't you reform labor laws?"

Choi Hyung-doo, the floor spokesperson for the People Power Party, said in a statement on the 7th, "The government and ruling party should learn from labor reforms in France and Germany."

He pointed out, "The ruling party, which named the Corporate Regulation 3 Acts as the Fair 3 Acts, is urging haste, but firmly refuses to reform labor relations and labor laws proposed by the opposition. Are corporate regulations fair while labor reforms are unfair?"

Spokesperson Choi said, "President Macron, who took office four days after President Moon Jae-in, implemented labor reforms that transformed France's economy, once called the 'sick man of Europe' due to low growth and high unemployment, into the 'strongman of Europe.' German Social Democratic Party Chancellor Schr?der defied opposition from his core supporters, the labor unions, and cured Germany's economic malaise through the 'Hartz reforms,' creating jobs and pulling the country out of the mire. Policies to revive the critically endangered South Korean economy require cooperation between the ruling and opposition parties, left and right alike."

Regarding the ruling party leader's remark that the wait for the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Unit (HOCIU) is reaching its limit, he criticized it as "inappropriate," saying, "Even the Supreme Court and the National Police Agency have expressed opposition, stating that the HOCIU would undermine the separation of powers and judicial independence and become a superior institution to the Supreme Prosecutors' Office and the National Police Agency. It was not something to emphasize on the first day of the National Assembly audit as if under someone's orders."
