In the political world, a day before the plenary session of the National Assembly to vote on the first lady Kim Gun-hee's independent counsel law, the level of the opposition's offensive against Myung Tae-kyun is increasing.
The People's Power is focusing on the public opinion battle against the Democratic Party of Korea leader Lee Jae-myung, highlighting his first sentence the day after tomorrow.
I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Na Hye-in!
The Democratic Party released an additional recording of Myung Taekyun today, right?
[Reporter]
The newly released development today claims that Myung Tae-kyun influenced the appointment of heads of local public institutions after Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, was designated as a national industrial complex last year.There was also a recording of
Also Myeong's past security secret, knowing the schedule of President Yoon Suk Yeol's visit to the company in advance, informing his surroundings, and recommending the company to invest in the stock.
[Myeong Tae-gyun (On the phone with Kang Hye-kyung on June 20, 2022): I got a call from the governor that Park Wan-soo will come down between the 22nd and the 25th." "If you hold it still, it will cost 60,000 to 70,000 won later....]
The Democratic Party of Korea also argues that the nature of the money should be revealed by linking Myung's statement that he received money in the name of transportation expenses from Kim in a prosecution investigation, which is about to be reviewed for an arrest warrant.The fact that
exchanged money with Mrs. Kim shows that it is that close relationship, and pointed out that we need to see if it is the price of the poll conducted by Mr. Myung during the last presidential election.
In addition, lawmakers of the National Assembly's Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee visited Seoul Station and asked the train management team about their operational records, saying they would verify the testimony that Myung had been on a special presidential train with Kim in the past.
They voiced the need for a fact-finding investigation, saying there was no record to find out whether civilians such as Myung had ever been on the presidential train, and officials did not remember.
This morning, the National Assembly launched the "Solidarity for the Impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol" involving 41 opposition lawmakers.
However, the Democratic Party's leadership is still far from impeaching the president, and instead is pressing the people's power and representative Han Dong-hoon to accept the special prosecution.

The people's power is focusing on the offensive targeting representative Lee Jae-myung, who is about to be sentenced in the first trial, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, representative Han Dong-hoon criticized the Democratic Party's weekend condemnation rally on social media following yesterday, calling it a "judge intimidation show."
On Saturday, several universities are scheduled to take essay tests for college entrance, and if you want to protest, don't bother the test takers and do it after the test.
The People's Power said it respects the court's decision not to broadcast Lee Jae-myung's first trial hearing live the day after tomorrow, but argued that if the ruling is released, the crime will be disclosed in detail.
The party is preparing a bill to punish judges if they use their status to threaten them and prevent delays in trials.
All of the ruling party figures who spoke to our reporters emphasized the unification, saying that now is not the time to put our firepower into the wrong or to fight among ourselves.The atmosphere of conflict between representatives Han Dong-hoon and pro-Yoon-gye lawmakers, who were exposed to solving the
Kim problem, seems to be calming down for now.
In an MBC radio interview, Supreme Council member Jang Dong-hyuk said that after President Yoon's public statement, the presidential office also needs time to push for reform, and that Han seems to be concentrating on the large-scale offensive by gathering his scattered strength.
The ruling party is considering not attending the vote if the Democratic Party of Korea puts Kim's independent counsel law to the plenary session tomorrow.
[Choo Kyung-ho / People's Power Floor Leader: The independent counsel law on Mrs. Kim is anti-constitutional, so we are firmly opposed to it. We will maintain that position consistently.]
The People's Power will hold a general meeting of lawmakers just before the plenary session tomorrow to discuss the recommendation of a special inspector, which representative Han proposed as a solution to the First Lady Kim problem.
Without a separate vote, the floor leadership is likely to declare that it will engage in recommendation negotiations with the opposition party, and there is a possibility that the factional conflict will be exposed again depending on the method and level of decision.
