The opposition party criticized all state agencies for being mobilized for Kim Gun-hee's bulletproof body when the government voted on a request for reconsideration of the Kim Gun-hee Special Prosecutor Act.


The ruling party responded that the Democratic Party of Korea is making clear its intention to step down from the government as representative Lee Jae-myung's judicial risks grow.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Na Hye-in!

The veto-wielding political situation is unfolding again, so please tell the political community's reaction.

[Reporter]
The Democratic Party and other five major opposition parties announced an emergency press conference in front of the presidential office in Yongsan shortly afterwards to denounce the government's proposal to veto the Kim Gun-hee Special Prosecutor Act and the Chae Sang-byung Special Prosecutor Act.

Cho Seung-rae, the Democratic Party's chief spokesman, repeatedly urged Yoon Suk Yeol to accept the bill, saying it was a clear conflict of interest for President Park to refuse an independent counsel involving her and her family.

Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the party, argued at a morning meeting that Korea is a democratic republic, and the reality is reminiscent of the "Kingdom of Kim Gun-hee."

[Park Chan-dae / Minjoo Party floor leader: Every power organization, from the president to the ruling party to the prosecution and police, is mobilized for Kim Gun-hee's bulletproof body. The people are asking who is the real ruler of the Republic of Korea.

The Democratic Party of Korea plans to immediately push for a re-vote of the National Assembly if President Yoon vetoes the independent counsel law.

National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik expressed his intention to complete the re-voting process by the 10th of next month when the statute of limitations on election law violations ends, considering allegations of Kim's involvement in the nomination, one of the special prosecutors' investigation targets.

The people's power is that it is natural to exercise the right to demand reconsideration on the special prosecution bill for political disputes, which the opposition party unilaterally passed.

Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho stressed at the morning meeting that Democratic Party Chairman Lee Jae-myung is being sentenced by the prosecution today on charges of perjury, arguing that the opposition offensive is to build a justification for the resignation of the government to cover up judicial risks.

He pointed out that the Democratic Party even arranged a fundraiser for the impeachment movement after holding a hearing on the impeachment petition at the National Assembly.

[Choo Kyung-ho / People's Power Floor Leader: It is the ruling party's responsibility to prevent the big opposition's evil laws and tyranny. In the end, the purpose of the opposition's repeated attack on the floor is to build up the government.

Within the ruling party, it is widely expected that there will be no departure vote even if President Yoon vetoes the Kim Special Counsel Act and goes through the redrawing process, but

There are steadily voices calling for an exit strategy to appease public opinion, including an apology from Mrs. Kim.

Speaking to reporters in the morning, Han Dong-hoon said the independent counsel law will be judged well by lawmakers and has been consistent about Kim's apology.

There is still a temperature difference between the ruling and opposition parties over the resolution of the legislative conflict, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, the ruling party is hardly finding a solution to the legislative conflict that is adversely affecting public opinion.

The presidential special committee on medical reform said it would establish a new organization to estimate the supply and demand of medical personnel to further reflect the voices of the medical community in the process of increasing medical schools, but the response of doctors is cold.

There seems to be little progress in discussing the formation of a ruling-opposition council, but a key ruling party official recently told YTN that it will not be easy to come up with a solution through the council.

He added that the government should not expect too much from the consultative body and take responsibility for the situation.

Representative Han Dong-hoon, who has worked hard on the formation of a consultative body, cautioned against the expanded interpretation that it is not difficult to launch a consultative body, but that the government should also take action.

The Democratic Party of Korea urged the president's office to apologize first, saying that the establishment of an organization to estimate the supply and demand of medical personnel is a contradiction and absurdity that reverses the existing argument.

The government claimed that the process of setting the number of medical schools to 2,000 was scientific and reasonable, but they asked why a new estimation organization is needed now.

At the same time, he said he needed an estimation organization with legal grounds, not an organization governed by the government, and said he would push for a bill to ensure the participation of the medical community.
