[Asia Economy, reporter Lim Chunhan] On December 8, the People Power Party criticized the Democratic Party of Korea for passing the amendment to the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) Act in the National Assembly Legislation and Judiciary Committee, stating, "The Democratic Party may hear the sound of victory in their forced passage, but for the people, it sounds like the death knell of democracy."

Bae Junyoung, spokesperson for the People Power Party, said in a commentary that day, "The government and the ruling party should feel ashamed before the people and before history."

Spokesperson Bae pointed out, "At a single word from the president, the commander-in-chief, the Democratic Party trampled on the separation of powers as if launching a special forces operation," and added, "They have dug a deep landfill to bury the dark crimes of this administration. Now, someone like Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae will become the gatekeeper of that place as the head of the CIO."

Bae continued, "As the saying goes, 'You come empty-handed and leave empty-handed.' What was greedily gained today will not be an 'absolute ring' of iron rule, but rather a heavy weight that will accelerate the downfall of this administration."
