President Park tapped Kim Byong-joon, former policy advisor to late President Roh Moo-hyun in the opposition bloc, as new prime minister Wednesday, but opposition parties have boycotted parliamentary hearing for approval as the president named the nominee without any prior notice or consultation with the parliament.
Both ruling and opposition parties have demanded a parliament-proposed prime minister be picked to let him choose cabinet members and form a grand-coalition government.
Saenuri Party chairman Lee Jung-hyun, one of key pro-President Park faction members, told reporters that the president declared everybody is equal before the law by vowing to actively cooperate with prosecutors on her own wrongdoings.
However, one of non-Park faction lawmaker of the governing party said public furor would not be eased as the president has yet to tell all of the truth behind the scandal. Another non-Park faction legislator said Park should have expressed her willingness to loosen her grip on power.
Sim Sang-jung, chairwoman of the left-wing minor Justice Party, told reporters that people will never accept the president's address in the absence of explanations on the truth, calling on Park to voluntarily resign.
Park Jie-won, floor leader of the minor People's Party, welcomed the president's acceptance of criminal investigation, but he noted that he would closely watch the moves of public opinion as public fury has yet to be placated.
