During a Supreme Council meeting held at the Microbial Industry Promotion Agency in Sunchang-gun, Jeong Cheong-rae of the Democratic Party emphasized President Lee Jae-myung's strong and consistent dedication to prosecutorial reform. This statement comes in light of criticism regarding the government's intentions for reform, especially surrounding the proposed establishment of new prosecutorial bodies. Some supporters expressed doubts, suggesting that the government might engage in a controversial deal with the prosecution, yet Jeong reassured party members that their aims closely align with the national desire for genuine reform.

Jeong reiterated the principle of separation of investigation and prosecution, promising party members that the Democratic Party would pursue these reforms earnestly and cohesively with the government. He acknowledged the need for open discussions within the party to identify and resolve any potential shortcomings or controversial points in the reform process. This commitment is meant to ensure that the hopes of party supporters do not turn to disappointment, and that the leadership would strive to address any internal party issues effectively.

The urgency of the matter was highlighted by recent allegations raised in media discussions around potential favoritism or collusion involving high-ranking officials. These discussions have contributed to an atmosphere of skepticism regarding President Lee's reform proposals. As the government prepares to finalize plans for the new prosecution bodies, the Democratic Party aims to project a unified front to allay public concerns and reaffirm their commitment to an agenda that promotes accountability and reform within the prosecutorial system.
