Jang Hye-young: If Democrats can't debate abolishing supplementary investigation rights, they should reconsider

Jang Hye-young, former co-leader of the Justice Party, has sharply criticized the Democratic Party for its reluctance to engage in public debate regarding the abolition of the prosecution's supplementary investigation rights. Jang expressed surprise that no Democratic Party lawmakers seem willing to publicly discuss the issue. "It is truly surprising that there isn't a single Democratic Party lawmaker who can properly debate with me, Rep. Han Dong-hoon, about abolishing the prosecution's supplementary investigation rights," Jang wrote on her social media on the 21st. She condemned the party's approach, stating that while remaining silent is problematic, actively avoiding debate with flimsy excuses is incomprehensible. Jang asserted that if the Democratic Party cannot persuasively argue for the necessity of abolishing these rights in front of various citizens, they should reconsider the bill itself. She warned that irresponsibly pushing legislation based solely on majority support, without the ability to debate its merits, could result in public suffering. "If they push ahead with a bill that cannot even be debated, solely relying on their numbers, the consequences will inevitably return as suffering and anger for the citizens," Jang stated. She concluded by predicting that this public discontent will ultimately lead to a judgment against the Democratic Party.
