Minju "Double Special Prosecutor Law to be Sent Soon"... Press Conference Scheduled in Front of the Presidential Office

Speaker Kim Jin-pyo Likely to Submit as Early as Today
"If Yoon Exercises Veto, Will File Jurisdictional Dispute Trial"

The Democratic Party of Korea announced a press conference in front of the Presidential Office to urge acceptance of the 'dual special investigation law' aimed at investigating suspicions of stock manipulation involving First Lady Kim Keon-hee, wife of President Yoon Suk-yeol, and Deutsche Motors.

Choi Hye-young, the Democratic Party's floor spokesperson, told reporters after the policy coordination meeting on the 4th, "Regarding the dual special investigation, Speaker Kim Jin-pyo is expected to forward it," adding, "Our party plans to hold a press conference in front of the Yongsan Presidential Office to urge acceptance." She further stated, "The Speaker has not informed us of the forwarding time, but we will go directly to the Presidential Office as soon as it is forwarded."

Additionally, on the 5th, the four opposition parties?the Democratic Party, the Justice Party, the Progressive Party, and the Basic Income Party?plan to take joint action in the National Assembly to urge acceptance of the dual special investigation.

Spokesperson Choi explained, "The Democratic Party has stated that if President Yoon exercises his veto power, legal measures, specifically related to a constitutional dispute, will be taken," and added, "Regarding this, Floor Leader Hong Ik-pyo is scheduled to hold an expert meeting."

Park Joo-min, the senior deputy floor leader, clearly stated during the policy coordination meeting that if President Yoon actually exercises his veto, they intend to file a constitutional dispute adjudication. Park emphasized, "The dual special investigation law allows investigations of the president and the president’s spouse, so if the veto is exercised, it means the president himself is rejecting it, which constitutes a conflict of interest," and added, "In such cases, a constitutional review is necessary to determine whether the veto should be unconditionally permitted."
