[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the People Power Party, criticized the Democratic Party of Korea on the 19th for pushing to amend the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Office (HCIO) Act to eliminate the opposition party's veto power, calling it "truly shameless."

At the emergency countermeasure meeting that day, Floor Leader Joo said, "They say they will change a law that hasn't even been properly implemented yet in order to appoint a chief who can act according to their own will."

He added, "Where is the compulsion to choose only from among the unqualified candidates they recommended? What are they afraid of that they want to designate someone they favor as the HCIO chief and seize all cases?"

Floor Leader Joo said, "The public's anger is rising to the throat. The people will never tolerate this destruction of the rule of law, the dismantling of investigative agencies, and the HCIO dictatorship."
