The Justice Innovation Party announced it will participate in the vote to end the filibuster on the second extension of the Special Investigation Law on July 21.
Kim Jun-hyung, acting leader of the Justice Innovation Party and floor leader, spoke to reporters after meeting with Han Byeong-do, acting leader of the Democratic Party, at the National Assembly. He stated, "I received in-depth opinions from Acting Leader Han regarding the progress of the Democratic Party's criminal procedure law bill."
Kim added, "Considering the circumstances of the Democratic Party, I cannot disclose the details shared by Acting Leader Han at this time. However, I trust the information provided and will proceed steadfastly to achieve prosecutorial reform."
Following this, senior spokesperson Park Byeong-eon remarked, "While we view the Democratic Party as a partner and will generally cooperate, if there are disagreements in the latter half of the National Assembly, it may be difficult to automatically support the filibuster. I hope such situations do not arise."
He also noted, "The direction pursued by the Democratic Party and the Justice Innovation Party is not significantly different. If contentious issues arise, I will strongly request the party's stance on those matters."
