In today's parliamentary audit of the Judiciary and Public Administration and Security Committees, the focus of the ruling and opposition parties is on the suspicion of Kim Gun-hee and the judicial risks of Democratic Party Chairman Lee Jae-myung.

The opposition party argued that if the suspicion of "intervention in the nomination" is true, the election of the president of Yoon Suk Yeol will be nullified, and the ruling party set the day that the special prosecution promoted by the opposition party is for Lee's bulletproof purposes.

I'm connecting with the National Assembly reporter, reporter Son Hyo-jung!

Please summarize the main issues of today's parliamentary audit.

[Reporter]
Yes, the most notable place today is the National Audit Office of the Legislative and Judiciary Committee.

Opposition members criticized Yoon Suk Yeol's repeated exercise of veto power against Lee Wan-kyu, the head of the Legislative Office, and argued that a special investigation into Kim Gun-hee's allegations is needed.

In particular, he asked if the president is right to refuse an independent counsel related to him or his family at a time when allegations of "intervention in the nomination" have recently been raised with Myung Tae-kyun in the ruling party.

[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member: The president asked (Myeong Tae-kyun) for such a poll. That's why he went with me every day to report it. It's illegal, so the election is invalid. So I'm going to put it in the special prosecutor's office in this regard and investigate it. But is it the veto power, the president's own authority?]

On the other hand, the People's Power countered that the repeated veto was due to the opposition's unilateral enforcement of the unconstitutional bill.

He also pointed out that the Democratic Party's permanent special prosecution on Kim's allegations is unconstitutional, and that the opposition's offensive is intended to protect Lee from judicial risks.

[Park Jun-tae / People's Power: The opposition party has used all the policy tools of the National Assembly to bulletproof the party leader. We have proposed a number of special prosecution bills for the president and the first lady. In short, it's a private abuse of legislative power. This is not how the people gave them that great power.

In addition, the ruling and opposition parties exchanged war of words over the background of the appointment of Lee Wan-kyu, the head of the Legislative Office, who is known to be close to President Yoon.

A similar battle continued in the National Assembly Audit of Gyeonggi-do Province by the Public Administration and Security Committee.

The ruling party focused on allegations that Lee Jae-myung gave preferential treatment to KonaI, a local currency management company, when he was governor of Gyeonggi Province,

The opposition party summoned the suspicion of changing the end point of Yangpyeong Expressway and countered that it was to give preferential treatment to the Kim family.

Since the afternoon, audits have also been conducted for the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency.

This time, let's look at the news of the people's power.

The controversy is growing over CEO Han Dong-hoon's remarks that "the president's office needs a personnel reform," right?

[Reporter]
Yes, the general analysis is that representative Han Dong-hoon's remarks that the president's office needs to overhaul its personnel are aimed at the suspicion that there is a so-called "Kim Gun-hee" line.

Representative Han believes that they are distorting public opinion to Mrs. Kim and negatively affecting the direction of state administration.

Speaking to reporters at the National Assembly today, Mrs. Kim said that she is not a person of public status and publicly stated that such a line should not exist.

The pro-Yoon Seok-yeol faction strongly criticizes the ruling party's leader for attacking the president and violating the president's own authority, personnel rights.

Rep. Kwon Sung-dong, a pro-Yoon-gye lawmaker, said in a phone call with YTN that he even misunderstood whether Han is the leader of the ruling party or the leader of the Democratic Party these days,
He pointed out that it is not a true leader to push the president to blame both the government and the ruling party's poor approval ratings without reflecting on misleading the
party.

On the other hand, the close circle supported Han, saying the presidential office should actively explain the suspicions of secret elections.

Rep. Park Jung-hoon said in a radio interview that it is undeniable that the people feel tired of the government's way of running state affairs, and that it should be used as an opportunity for overall innovation.

In the midst of this, President Yoon and representative Han are said to have a private meeting early next week, and attention is being paid to what kind of stories will be exchanged at this meeting.

So far, I'm Son Hyo-jung of YTN in the National Assembly.
