Jeong Jin-sik: 'Lee's silence on supplementary investigation rights means government and ruling party's joint downfall'

Jeong Jin-sik, the floor leader of the People's Power Party, has issued a stark warning: the government and the ruling party face a "joint downfall" if President Lee Jae-myung fails to exercise his veto power on a contentious amendment to the Criminal Procedure Act. The proposed changes aim to abolish the supplementary investigation rights, a move that has sparked significant debate.

If President Lee does not exercise his right to request a reconsideration, the government and the ruling party will face a joint downfall.

Jeong criticized President Lee for remaining silent on the critical issue of supplementary investigation rights. He contrasted the president's quiet stance with his known attentiveness to other political matters, including the deposit for the ruling party's supreme council election.

“

The whole country is in confusion over whether to abolish supplementary investigation rights, but President Lee is uniquely silent.

The People's Power Party leader emphasized the widespread confusion across the nation regarding the fate of supplementary investigation rights. He implied that the president's inaction or potential approval of the amendment could have severe political repercussions, leading to a significant loss of support for both the administration and the ruling party.

He is someone who meticulously reviews even the deposit for the ruling party's supreme council election, so why is he silent now?
