[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the People Power Party, stated on the 5th regarding the Serious Accidents Punishment Act (Serious Accident Act), "We do not have a fixed party stance, but it must not violate the Constitution," and added, "Furthermore, it must not go against the principle of prohibition of excess or the responsibility principles inherent in criminal law."

After the People Power Party's on-tact policy workshop held at the National Assembly that afternoon, Floor Leader Joo told reporters, "We only have the principle of filtering out anything that does not conform to the principles of criminal law."

Regarding the plenary session scheduled for the 8th, Floor Leader Joo said, "We said that if an agreement is reached, it will be processed on the 8th," and added, "It can only happen if the issues I just pointed out are filtered out and an agreement is made."

On the confirmation hearings for Kim Jin-wook, head of the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Office, and Park Beom-gye, nominee for Minister of Justice, Floor Leader Joo said, "There is currently no one designated as a dropout candidate, but especially for nominee Park, there have been so many reports in the media that we intend to conduct a thorough verification," and criticized, "I feel as if this government only nominates candidates who are on the death note for the Minister of Justice."
