The ruling and opposition parties engaged in a war of words over the exercise of President Yoon Suk Yeol's right to demand reconsideration at the National Assembly Judiciary Committee's parliamentary audit of the Ministry of Legislation.

The opposition party established that President Yoon's veto of the Kim Gun-hee independent counsel law was a conflict of interest.

In particular, Myung Tae-kyun, known as a "political broker," raised the pressure, saying that if it is true that he conducted a poll to President Yoon, he is "invalid for election."

[SEO YOUNG KYO / Democratic Party member] It's illegal. It's invalid. So I'm going to put it in the special prosecutor's office in this regard and investigate this. But is this the president's right to veto it?]

Lee Wan-kyu, the head of the Legislative Office, criticized him for claiming to be a "guardian warrior" because of his relationship with President Yoon.

[Lee Wan-gyu / Head of Legislation: I don't agree if the question is that the exercise of veto should be restricted due to conflicts of interest]

[Kim Yong-min / Democratic Party lawmaker: Attorney General was a lawyer for disciplinary action and mother-in-law's case, so there are criticisms that this is why he is always on the side of the president]

The ruling party responded that the president's veto was caused by the Democratic Party.

The Democratic Party of Korea's unilateral push for bills has an unconstitutional aspect.

[Joo Jin-woo / People's Power: The opposition party unilaterally pushes ahead with an unconstitutional bill, so it has the right to request a presidential reconsideration...]

He also accused the Democratic Party of privately abusing the legislative power given by the people, saying it is using all political means, including prosecutor impeachment, to bulletproof representative Lee Jae-myung.

[Park Jun-tae / People's Power: When Lee Jae-myung's prison sentence for violating the Public Official Election Act was sought, some pointed out that it was to pressure the prosecution and retaliate. In short, it's a private abuse of legislative power.]

The battle between the ruling and opposition parties continued outside the parliamentary audit.

Han Dong-hoon, chairman of the People's Power Party, pointed out a Democratic Party member who inquired about a case involving a relative during the parliamentary inspection and criticized the Democratic Party for obstructing justice ahead of Lee Jae-myung's conviction.

[Han Dong-hoon / Representative of People's Power: The inspection of the Minjoo Party of Korea is flowing into the inspection where thieves bully the police]

Park Chan-dae, floor leader of the Democratic Party, raised his voice that the president should now answer the suspicions of pollsters.

[Park Chan-dae / Minjoo Party floor leader: Shouldn't President Yoon Suk Yeol explain himself? President Yoon Suk Yeol is the biggest beneficiary of the poll conducted by Myung.

In the meantime, Myung Tae-kyun, a key figure in the allegation, dismissed the suspicion that former lawmaker of People's Power won the nomination in exchange for a poll as a novel in a media interview.

The poll company, which is suspected of leaking the list of members of the People's Power Party, also drew a line, saying it has nothing to do with him.

Conflicts between the ruling and opposition parties over allegations related to Lee Jae-myung and Kim Gun-hee are expected to intensify at the parliamentary audit of prosecutors and courts later this week.
