Park’s lawyer seeks to delay questioning

*counter: 대응하다
*slush fund: 비자금

*call: 요구
*adamant: 강경한, 고집스러운
[4] He also took issue with the prosecution’s unprecedented plan to quiz a sitting leader face-to-face, saying a written query was “appropriate in principle” but if a head-to-head meeting is necessary, it could be done in minimal time.

기사요약: 일본과의 군사정보보호협정이 6일만에 법제처 심사에 통과되면서 또 다른 정치적 사안으로 떠오르고 있다. 군사협정의 핵심은 한일 양국이 보유한 군사비밀과 대외비 정보를 국회동의 없이 서로에게 제공한다는 것이다. 이에 야당이 한민구 국방장관 해임을 건의하는 등 행동에 나섰다.

*recommend: 건의하다
