[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon criticized the Democratic Party, which led the passage of the amendment to the Prosecutors' Office Act?one of the bills for the complete removal of the prosecution's investigative authority (Geomsu Wanbak)?in the National Assembly plenary session, calling it a "collective madness," and referred to the Justice Party members who voted in favor as "disgusting people."

On the morning of the 1st, Jin mentioned this on Facebook, stating, "Even if we consider the Democratic Party as originally being such people, since the Justice Party also joined in that act, then instead of causing innocent people to suffer, just merge together."

He said, "Was progressivism merely a grudge against Roh Moo-hyun, Han Myeong-sook, and Cho Kuk?" and added, "Because of this law, ordinary people will no longer receive legal protection unless they pay to hire a lawyer."

He continued, "The winners of this game are the power elites of both ruling and opposition parties who, for some unknown reason, live in fear of the prosecution, and the losers are the whistleblowers within this land, disabled people who lack the power to defend themselves, and socially vulnerable groups who cannot afford to file lawsuits themselves."

Earlier, on the day before the amendment to the Prosecutors' Office Act passed the National Assembly plenary session, former professor Jin stated on Facebook, "All six Justice Party lawmakers voted in favor of a bill that harms ordinary people. Democratic + Justice Party. It's absurd."

On the 30th, around 4:20 PM, the National Assembly held a plenary session and passed the ‘Partial Amendment to the Prosecutors' Office Act’ with 172 votes in favor, 3 against, and 2 abstentions out of 177 members present. The People Power Party did not participate in the vote. Independent lawmaker Yang Hyang-ja and Basic Income Party lawmaker Yong Hye-in abstained.

With the passage of the amendment to the Prosecutors' Office Act, prosecutors can now initiate investigations only for two of the six major crimes (corruption, economic, public officials, election, defense industry, large-scale disasters)?specifically corruption and economic crimes. However, election crimes will be exempted from abolition until December 31 of this year, considering the June local elections. The amendment will take effect four months after promulgation.
