The Democratic Party is ramping up pressure on the judiciary. On May 7, it passed a plan in the National Assembly’s Legislation and Judiciary Committee to summon all 12 Supreme Court justices, including Chief Justice Jo Hee-de, for a May 14 hearing on alleged election interference. On May 8, committee chair Jung Cheong-rae also proposed a special prosecutor bill targeting Jo, following the Supreme Court’s decision to return Lee Jae-myung’s election law case for retrial.
