Ahn Cheol-soo, chairman of the Presidential Transition Committee, said in relation to the bill that the ruling and opposition leaders agreed on on the 25th, “Politicians themselves can’t put their hands on their chest and say that what they excluded from the prosecution’s investigation is for the people and not for the politicians. Is there?” he criticized.
Chairman Ahn said at a plenary meeting of the transition committee held in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the same day, saying, “The appearance of the politicians who do not care regarding the people’s livelihood and focus only on inspection and inspection shows neither sacrifice nor will to reform to the people.”
Chairman Ahn said, “In order to tell the people to share the pain in difficult times, politicians themselves have to cut their bones. He should show that politicians sacrifice first and lead by example.”
He said, “It is my personal opinion, not as the chairman of the takeover.” “The ‘examination and overhaul’ is something that shakes the Korean judicial system for 70 years, and the specific point is the issue of adjusting the investigative powers of the prosecutors and police. What is more fundamental is how politicians will appear in the eyes of the public through this issue,” he emphasized.
“President Eisenhower of the United States said, ‘Those who value their privileges more than principles will soon lose both.’ We hope that this issue will be properly reconsidered.”
