The Democratic Party continues to pressure the judiciary even after the presidential election campaign officially began. On May 13, Representative Jung Cheong-rae, chair of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, said the party would push ahead with judicial reform bills — including a special prosecutor bill and amendments to the Court Organization Act and the Constitutional Court Act — on May 14. The move has drawn criticism for undermining judicial independence and is fueling concerns that constitutional principles are being compromised for the benefit of Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung.
