[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Jeong Jin-seok, a member of the People Power Party, criticized the passage of the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Office (PCC) amendment bill led by the Democratic Party, saying, "'Minbyeon PCC Law' will inevitably be forcibly passed."

On the 10th, Jeong said on Facebook, "The Democratic Party will forcibly pass the so-called 'Minbyeon PCC Law' today, which took away the opposition party's veto power."

He added, "As a result, they will appoint a loyal commander like Lee Sung-yoon, the Seoul Prosecutor's Office Chief who listens well to political power, as the head of the PCC," and criticized, "The Democratic Party no longer has the right to speak of democracy and the rule of law."

Jeong raised his voice, saying, "The noble essence of democracy such as separation of powers, checks and balances, dialogue, and compromise is no longer the value of the Democratic Party," and "The price to pay today will be severe."
