On the 26th, with respect to the arbitration plan for the complete deprivation of the prosecution’s investigation authority, floor leader Kwon Seong-dong said, “The agreement states that a Serious Crime Investigation Agency will be established within 1 year and 6 months, but it is said that it will be formulated. No promises,” he said.
After meeting with reporters at the National Assembly on the same day, floor leader Kwon said, “If you look at the contents of the agreement, it is said that a heavy water office will be built, but there are many things that need to be done under that.”
It is interpreted as suggesting the possibility that the installation of a heavy water office will act as a primer in the subsequent legislative discussion process.
As the agreement states that ‘the prosecutor’s right to investigate directly after the establishment of the Heavy Suspension Office’ is stipulated, it can also be interpreted as meaning that it will take time for the ‘examination and overhaul’ bill to become effective and put into effect.

Regarding the meeting with President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol at the Office of the Transition Committee in Tongui-dong the day before, he said, “I do not think it is appropriate to disclose the contents of the conversation with President-elect Yoon.”
Regarding the issue of amnesty, such as former President Lee Myung-bak and former Gyeongnam Governor Kim Kyung-soo, at the press conference held by President Moon Jae-in the day before, he said, “It is the president’s sole authority and it is the president’s decision, so it is a matter for President Moon to decide.”
