Representative Jang Dong-hyuk criticized President Lee Jae-myung's response to the North Korean landmine explosion and suspicions related to the remittance incident to North Korea, and pointed out that the conflict between pro-Yoon and anti-Yoon forces within the ruling party in the process of appointing candidate Kim Ji-yong for the head of the Serious Crimes Investigation Service is threatening the political neutrality of the Serious Crimes Investigation Office.
It's embarrassing to see Kim Ji-yong fighting between women... Political Investigation Office, the public will hold it accountable
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporters Lee Jeong-hyeon and Noh Seon-woong = People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk said on the 5th regarding the North Korean landmine explosion, "President Lee Jae-myung should immediately demand an apology from North Korea and take strong countermeasures. If he has no intention of protecting the people, I hope he will step down from his position right now."
Representative Jang held a press conference at the National Assembly on this day and said, "President Lee is busy begging for peace when North Korea lays a land mine and blows off a soldier's ankle, but he can't even say it was an unfortunate accident.
He continued, "He shows anger management disorder toward Ukraine, which repatriated North Korean prisoners of war, and says they made him out to be a liar, and toward North Korea, he tries to control his anger," and criticized, "How can the military properly take corresponding measures when the Commander-in-Chief of the ROK Armed Forces is doing this? Just how big of a weakness has North Korea discovered?"
Representative Jang said, "I don't think that the reason President Lee is unable to say anything to North Korea is because of the remittances to North Korea," and added, "(The remittances to North Korea) has already been acknowledged in court and the people involved have been found guilty. The prosecution also indicts that President Lee was aware of the fact, and if he is tried, it is clear that he will be found guilty."
He added, “Eventually, the remittance case to North Korea will be included in the list of indictments, but is that why you are desperate for Kim Jong-un?” He added, “I think there is something more to it than that, so I can’t say anything about North Korea. If the attitude toward North Korea is the same as it is now, the public’s suspicion will only grow.”
Regarding the continuing conflict within the ruling party over the candidate for the head of the Serious Crimes Investigation Agency, Kim Ji-yong, he said, "I can't bear to open my eyes and look at it." He said, "Hardliners attack Kim Ji-yong for being pro-Yoon (pro-Yoon Seok-yeol) and President Lee counters that he is anti-yoon (ban Yoon Seok-yeol), but the Central Investigation Agency is an agency where political neutrality is more important than anything else. They pushed for the disbandment of the prosecution, calling it a political prosecution, and then said they would create a 'political investigation agency' that suits their taste. “It is,” he pointed out.
At the same time, he emphasized, “(With the dissolution of the prosecution), it is clear that the Republic of Korea will become a public safety hell due to the hit-and-run investigation, delayed trials, and dark cases, and the tears of the unjust people will become a river,” and added, “The people will definitely hold them accountable.”

When the Democratic Party of Korea refused to comply with Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae's request to appear as a witness for the government audit, the People Power Party defended Chief Justice Cho, saying it was the National Assembly's tyranny and abuse of power over the judiciary. Floor leader Jeong Jeong-sik cited the lack of legitimacy of the request for attendance, violation of customs, and unfairness as reasons, and argued that if the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is called as a witness for the National Assembly audit, the President should also appear as a witness for the executive branch inspection.

With the launch of the Public Prosecution Service, the Investigation Review Committee was abolished and the Case Review Committee was established. The Case Deliberation Committee has the authority to review whether to file an indictment or appeal, and whether to cancel President Lee Jae-myung's criminal trial indictment may also be subject to review. However, there are observations that the results of the deliberation have no binding force and may end up forming justification.

The decision on the application for a temporary injunction filed by Representatives Seo Beom-soo and Jin Jong-oh in protest of the People Power Party Ethics Committee's disciplinary action to suspend party membership is expected to be made as early as the 7th.

Flavio Bolsonaro, the eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, has advanced to the Brazilian presidential election runoff. He entered politics at the age of 21 and served as a senator, but due to his lack of legislative achievements, he was evaluated as being 'in the shadow of his father'. He was selected as the successor in competition with his brother and stepmother, and although he touts softness and flexibility as his strengths, he faces a weakness in the lack of proven substance and is facing a runoff election against President Lula.
