South Korean President Park Geun-hye is expected to undergo face-to-face questioning over a string of corruption allegations later this week, possibly at the presidential office, aide Cheong Wa Dae said Monday.
Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. Democracy often bears fatal flaws in its presidential system, with even the US having its share of problems. South Korea’s constitution should be changed to implement a modified semi-presidential system, and the president should be declared off-limits to party politics. The heads of the judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years, and 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
