The National Assembly will hold a plenary session today and hold a vote on the Special Prosecutor's Act on Kim Gun-hee, the Special Prosecutor's Act on Chae Sang-byung, and the Local Currency Act, which returned to the National Assembly at the request of a presidential reconsideration.


At the prosecutor's impeachment hearing on the 2nd, Lee Hwa-young, former governor of peace in Gyeonggi Province, came out and there was a sharp debate over the prosecution's repeated allegations of "statement conciliation."

Yes, it's the National Assembly.

At today's plenary session, the Special Prosecutor Kim Gun-hee, the Special Prosecutor Act on Chae Sang-byung, and the Local Currency Act, where the right to request presidential reconsideration was exercised, will come up again, right?

The possibility of a bill being rejected or passed again, how is it projected?

[Reporter]
Both the ruling and opposition parties are widely expected to fail again, that is, to be rejected.

In order for the three bills to cross the National Assembly threshold again, more than 200 votes are needed for all lawmakers to attend.

The ruling party, which has 108 seats, should leave more than eight votes, but the people's power is expressing confidence that there will not be many votes to leave.

The power of the people was decided as the party's theory to reject the three bills at the general meeting of the lawmakers a little while ago.

Let's listen to the morning meeting remarks.

[Bae Joon-young / Deputy floor leader of People's Power: The three laws required for reconsideration will be introduced at today's plenary session. The power of our people will collect the lawmakers' opinions and vote them down. Again, what we're voting down is a sham bill, not a truth check.

On the other hand, the Democratic Party of Korea is strongly protesting this time, saying that voting down the Special Prosecutor Act violates the legislative power of the National Assembly.

In today's re-decision vote, it is natural to pass the independent counsel law, and he has repeatedly voiced that "those who refuse the special prosecution are the culprits."

Let's listen to the morning meeting remarks.

[Park Chan-dae / Minjoo Party floor leader: There is a lot of circumstantial evidence and evidence that First Lady Kim Gun-hee was deeply involved in stock price manipulation and nomination, so will the criminal charges disappear by refusing an independent counsel? Rather, the need for an independent counsel only increases.

However, following the controversy over Kim Gun-hee's acceptance of luxury bags, suspicions of manipulating Deutsche Motors' stock price and intervening in the nomination of candidates for the general election are emerging one after another.
Apart from the
legal judgment, there are voices inside and outside the ruling camp that need separate measures, such as Mrs. Kim's apology.

If the Yoon Suk Yeol presidents and their wives do not tie themselves up, there is a concern that there is no justification to block the additional special prosecution law offensive.

A ruling party official said on the phone that the party has done everything it can, and predicted that Yongsan should wait and see whether it will take a forward-looking step.

Let's look at the discussion of financial investment income tax in the Democratic Party.

Will today's general meeting of lawmakers conclude that the financial investment tax will be enforced, suspended, or abolished?

[Reporter]
Related matters are currently being discussed at the general meeting of the lawmakers, but it is unlikely that the conclusion will be reached.

The Democratic Party of Korea is strongly considering collecting opinions on the pros and cons of introducing a financial investment tax on lawmakers and then delegating the decision to the leadership.

Internally, as representative Lee Jae-myung has mentioned the possibility of a postponement since the national convention phase, more lawmakers are said to support the suspension of financial investment tax.

However, even if the Democratic Party of Korea solidifies its final conclusion with "deferral", it is expected to try to appease internal public opinion in favor of the financial investment tax with clues such as the need to improve the stock market constitution.

A party official explained that it is impossible to set a direction today by a majority vote because there are various conditions, such as when the law will be revised even if it goes to a postponement.

Aftershocks continue over the impeachment hearing of Park Sang-young, the prosecutor who investigated the allegations of Lee Jae-myung's remittance to North Korea, on the 2nd.

In particular, the ruling and opposition parties fought over former Gyeonggi-do Provincial Governor for Peace Lee Hwa-young's repeated allegations of "statement fabrication"?

[Reporter]
People's Power Party floor leader Choo Kyung-ho criticized the Democratic Party in the morning meeting, saying it is mobilizing all kinds of impeachment and special prosecution hearings, providing an opportunity to make false claims to criminals under arrest after being sentenced to heavy punishment.

On the 2nd, the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee held an impeachment hearing for Park Sang-yong, a deputy prosecutor at the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office, which investigated former Gyeonggi Province's Deputy Governor for Peace Lee Hwa-young, and pointed out that former Deputy Governor Lee Hwa-young was present here.

Let's listen to it for ourselves.

[Choo Kyung-ho / People's Power Floor Leader: A criminal gets the privilege of lying unilaterally about his charges in the National Assembly, which was even broadcast live on TV to the entire nation. The Democratic Party claimed to be a lawyer for criminals.]

On the other hand, the Democratic Party of Korea focused its efforts on the loan offensive, saying that the prosecution's alleged manipulation of statements and conciliation and intimidation revealed by former Deputy Governor Lee Hwa-young at the hearing are shocking.

Floor leader Park Chan-dae said in a morning meeting that manipulating false statements by cajoling and threatening suspects in difficult situations is a shocking revelation that cannot and should not be made.

Let's listen to it for ourselves.

[Park Chan-dae / Minjoo Party floor leader: Is it the basic attitude of the Yoon Suk Yeol prosecution to fabricate statements that do not exist to remove political opponents and accuse them of not existing ones? If only one-tenth, or one-hundredth, of such efforts and sincerity had been invested, the investigation into the alleged manipulation of Kim Gun-hee's stock price would have already been completed.]

Ahead of the full-fledged parliamentary audit, the confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties over Lee Jae-myung's "judicial risk" and Kim Gun-hee's various controversies seems to be getting even steeper.

So far, I've delivered it to you by the National Assembly.
