Ruling Party to Discuss Parliamentary Probe into Cho Heedae at Caucus on 27th... Considers Crypto Tax Delay
Democratic Party Meeting on Parliamentary Audit Preparations on the 27th
Caucus to Discuss Investigation into Cho Hee-dae and Virtual Asset Taxation
Response to Review of Additional Arrest Warrant for Kim Keon Hee Also on Agenda
The Democratic Party of Korea will hold a caucus on the 27th to decide whether to launch a parliamentary investigation into Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae. The caucus will also discuss a further postponement of taxation on virtual assets.
Jeon Eunsu, the Democratic Party’s floor spokesperson, told reporters after a meeting on parliamentary audit preparations at the National Assembly that day, “At the caucus, we will reach a consensus on Chief Justice Cho’s future and how to respond going forward.”
Jeon said, “We gathered informal opinions during the parliamentary audit, but the lawmakers need time at the caucus, in a setting where they can discuss their views and speak together. I think we will have that opportunity today.”
Earlier, Democratic Party floor leader Han Byeongdo said at the meeting on parliamentary audit preparations, “We must clearly establish not only why the recommendation of a Supreme Court justice nominee was delayed for so long and why a request for a new recommendation was rejected, but also whether the responsibility to address the judicial vacuum was fulfilled. We will reach a consensus at today’s caucus and report it to the public.”
The caucus is also set to discuss a further postponement of taxation on virtual assets, which is scheduled to take effect in January 2027. Jeon said, “I think lawmakers will offer various opinions at today’s caucus on whether to postpone taxation related to virtual assets.”
