Lee Jae-myeong demands separation of powers from Yoon Seok-yeol, violating the Constitution’s separation of powers, ‘quantum runaway’
Lee Jae-myeong, leader of the Democratic Party, is demanding President Yoon Seok-yeol's separation of powers and calls for a 'bilateral runaway system' as a violation of the separation of powers in the Constitution.
In a bilateral meeting with the President at the President's Office, Representative Lee expressed regret over the exercise of the right to reconsider (veto) in the 'Apology and Waiver of Abuse of the Right to Reconsider' and the 'Special Prosecution Act on Allegations of External Pressure in the Death of Sang-byeong Chae of the Marine Corps' (Special Prosecutor Sang-byeong Chae) and 'Itaewon'. He directly demanded that the ‘Special Act on Disasters’ be accepted.
Representative Lee said, “Especially with regard to bills that were passed with great difficulty, from our Democratic Party’s perspective, such measures as excessive exercise of veto, enforcement decrees that infringe upon legislative authority, and neutralization of personnel hearings are a threat to the separation of powers and rule of law, which are the two pillars of a democratic republic. “If you try to subdue the National Assembly and the opposition party with administrative power, successful state administration will not be easy,” he said, indicating a violation of the separation of powers system.
On this day, Representative Lee said, “The nation is the people,” and rejected the “people’s sovereignty” of the Constitution, placing nationalism based on “nationalism prioritizing individual interests over national interests” as his policy.
With his statement that “the nation is the people,” Representative Lee rejected the “state’s obligation to guarantee individual human rights” and called for a national interest governance system.
The Constitution states, <Article 10: All citizens have dignity and value as human beings and the right to pursue happiness. The state has a separate obligation to confirm and guarantee the inviolable basic human rights of individuals, and Representative Lee violated this.
Earlier, during the exercise of nomination rights, Representative Lee violated the Constitution’s “people’s sovereignty” by applying the “party sovereignty principle” of the “Innovation Conference,” a bodyguard unit, as a party platform to electing new members of the National Assembly.
Korea's separation of powers is divided into three sections in the Constitution: <Article 40, legislative power belongs to the National Assembly>, <Article 66, executive power belongs to the government headed by the President>, <Article 101, judicial power belongs to courts composed of judges>, and the National Assembly and the President. The authority was clearly separated: <Article 54, the National Assembly deliberates and confirms the national budget> and <Article 81, the President may attend the National Assembly and speak or express his opinion in a letter.>
In his opening remarks at the bilateral meeting on the 29th, Representative Lee said, "Please respect the public opinion in the general election demanding a change in the tone of government administration," and "If you try to subjugate the National Assembly and the opposition party with administrative power, successful government administration will not be easy." “I think it would be great if you would express regret for exercising your veto on the Itaewon Disaster Special Act or the Special Prosecution Act and promise to respect future decisions of the National Assembly, and I respectfully request that you do so,” he said.
In particular, regarding the medical reform that undermines the higher-level medical law with lower-level administrative orders due to budget investment, Representative Lee said, "Because medical reform, such as expanding the number of medical school seats, is a major task that must be accomplished, our Democratic Party will also actively cooperate," he said. announced the establishment of a system.
Representative Lee Jae-myeong led the National Assembly as the majority party and proposed prosecution reform, judicial reform, and National Intelligence Service reform as policies. He did not even once attempt to cut special expenses for the prosecution and the National Intelligence Service budget, but instead attempted to increase the budget, breaking the separation of powers system.
Regarding the people, who are the masters of state power, the Constitution enforced 'party democracy' in Article 8 by stipulating that "political parties must be democratic in their purpose, organization and activities, and must have the necessary organization to participate in forming the political will of the people." Representative Lee destroyed party democracy by using 'strategic nomination' in the nomination review of National Assembly candidates and establishing a monopoly system for nomination by 'dominance of strong party members'.
In the April legislative election, Representative Lee operated a separate team of former National Intelligence Service members in the Democratic Party's situation room, expanded the National Intelligence Service's intervention in the election, and granted nomination rights to former National Intelligence Service personnel.
Namu Wiki says <Separation of powers (trias politica, tripartite system) or separation of powers is the separation of the power of the state into three parts: legislative power, judicial power, and executive power, thereby keeping each other in check. “The principle of national organization is to prevent abuse of power and guarantee the rights and freedom of the people,” he said. By securing guarantees, this is an essential element of the constitution in a modern and constitutional sense. Ultimately, the purpose is to protect human rights.”
Regarding the 'purpose of separation of powers', it is to prevent the abuse of power and ensure the guarantee of rights so that powerful groups cannot unite and unite and run wild without being checked by anyone. This is an essential part of the constitution in a modern and constitutional sense. It is defined as <ultimately the purpose of protecting human rights>, and the 'leadership meeting between the two powerful people' becomes a runaway mechanism to seize power.
Namu Wiki explains that the dictatorship system is <commonly understood as a system that prevents the emergence of a one-man dictator. However, this is only a half-correct explanation, and the separation of powers was developed for the purpose of checking both the excesses of one person and the excesses of many.
In Western democracies, there is almost no such thing as a ‘leadership meeting’ that is not stipulated in the constitution, and Representative Lee proposed a ‘people’s livelihood summit’ from the first day of his inauguration, and the third proposal for a leadership meeting was subsequently successful.
