조국 임명에 여야 극한대치
We're getting mixed reactions from parliament over the appointment of justice minister Cho Kuk.
The ruling Democratic Party welcomed his appointment,... saying he has the expertise and commitment to carry out the Moon administration's reform drive.
The party called on Cho to dedicate himself and contribute to society while serving in the public post,... and create a fair and just prosecutorial and judicial system.
The main opposition Liberty Korea Party which had been calling for the scrapping of Cho's nomination from the beginning,... said the president has gone against the wishes of the people.
The conservative party said it will consider all possible means of protest,... including a boycott of legislative activities... and public rallies.
The appointment comes after a month of intense wrangling between rival parties,... over multiple accusations of irregularities involving Cho and his family.
