[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] After the People’s Party rejected the motion to expel Representative Kwon Eun-hee, she expressed her opposition.

On the same day, Representative Kwon posted on her Facebook, stating, "We held a second party meeting to propose and vote on my expulsion, but once again, the agenda was not brought up."

She said, "The opposing opinion was that the political damage to Representative Ahn Cheol-soo if my expulsion were approved would be greater than the political inconvenience I might face if it were not," adding, "I appealed to Representative Ahn again, saying I feel like I’m falling off a cliff, but it is a difficult situation."

Representative Kwon is effectively supporting the 'Geomsu Wanbak' bill, putting her at odds with the People Power Party’s official stance. She argued, "Separating investigative functions and prosecution authority and coordinating them is a discussion for the people aimed at protecting human rights and improving crime response efficiency through checks and balances," and insisted, "This does not create a gap in prosecution investigations that previously relied on prosecution authority."
