[Asia Economy, reporter Lim Chunhan] On December 10, the People Power Party strongly criticized the Democratic Party of Korea for passing the amendment to the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials Act (CIO Act).

Floor Leader Joo Hoeyoung, speaking in front of the National Assembly’s main chamber immediately after the bill was passed, stated, “I am devastated and furious,” adding, “How could anyone do this unless they see the people as nothing more than pigs and dogs?”

Joo continued, “Does anyone think the people will forgive such reckless abuse of power?” He added, “I am convinced that President Moon Jae-in and the Democratic Party administration have set themselves on the path to complete ruin.”

Spokesperson Bae Junyoung, in an oral commentary, said, “In the final days of this administration, the CIO will operate solely on a logic of survival. That is why the government and ruling party are seeking a CIO chief who is as close as family to those in power. They probably even wish they could appoint Professor Cho Kuk, since it is so difficult to find such a person.”
