The prosecution's non-prosecution of Kim Gun-hee's alleged involvement in the stock price manipulation is causing a serious political backlash.


Today, a parliamentary audit of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, which was the investigative agency, is being held, and the ruling and opposition parties continue to fight.

I'm connecting you with a reporter from the National Assembly. Reporter Lim Sungjae!

The Central District Prosecutors' Office's audit was held a day after the prosecution concluded that it was not prosecuted, so please tell us the atmosphere of the site.

Yes, in the parliamentary audit of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, there were loud voices between ruling and opposition lawmakers from the beginning.

In the process of the Democratic Party of Korea demanding data on the search and seizure warrant in the early stages of the investigation into the alleged manipulation of Kim's stock price, a battle between the ruling and opposition parties took place.

Chung Chung-rae, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, finally declared a recess within an hour of the opening.

In the subsequent parliamentary inspection, the Democratic Party is expected to mention the legitimacy of the third independent counsel law proposed by Kim, the prosecutor general, and the impeachment of the head of the Central District Prosecutors' Office.

The power of the people, however, is expected to cover the prosecution, saying that the prosecution, which has conducted related investigations for four and a half years, will have produced its own results.

Earlier, floor leader Choo Kyung-ho met with reporters at the National Assembly and stressed that the prosecution would have announced the results of the investigation in accordance with evidence and legal principles.

Let's hear what he said.

[Choo Kyung-ho / People's Power Floor Leader: Basically, I think you must have tried to present the results of the investigation fairly in accordance with the evidence and the law, and the people will judge the results.]

The confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties is also sharp, but factional conflict is intensifying within the ruling party over the Kim controversy, right?

First of all, a meeting between President Yoon Suk Yeol and Representative Han Dong-hoon is scheduled early next week.As representatives

have publicly presented the 'three major demands' such as the suspension of Kim's external activities, personnel reform, and clarification of suspicions, this issue is expected to become the biggest topic in the meeting between the two.

In the close-knit community, as the Democratic Party of Korea proposed the third "Kim Special Prosecutor Act", there is a sense of crisis that the cause to prevent it is gradually decreasing.

An official told YTN on the phone, "If we don't find a solution in this meeting, we will be on the defensive."

Another official also stressed that the issue of Kim, who has been dragged around for two and a half years, should be settled, saying that Han's public opinion is a sign of urgency.

On the other hand, in the pro-Yoon Seok-yeol community, there is a sharp response to whether the president should surrender publicly.

One person told YTN that Han's method was not the right attitude as the person who requested the interview, and in the end, Han himself suspected that he intended to emphasize that he had done his job.

The important thing is to persuade the president, but Han doesn't seem to have the confidence or ability to persuade him.

The Democratic Party of Korea, which proposed the third Special Prosecutor's Law for Mrs. Kim, seems to be raising the level of its offensive, right?

[Reporter]
Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party, repeatedly criticized the prosecution's non-prosecution of Kim at a morning meeting.

In a word, Lee expressed that yesterday was the day when the rule of law of the Republic of Korea declared his death.Let's listen to



[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party leader: Yesterday was the day of the death of the rule of law in Korea. I hired a security guard to protect the thief, and this guard became a thief and robbed the store.]

He also left a bone-in saying that the people are watching and that they should keep in mind that they will act when the time comes.

Senior spokesman Cho Seung-rae told reporters that there are currently rallies across the country criticizing President Yoon Suk Yeol, and he thinks it will be bigger.

In particular, he stressed that he could not sit idly by the situation in which the prosecution was even told that it was not a just public power for the people but a prosecution to protect Mrs. Kim.

On the other hand, the People's Power responded that the Democratic Party's 3rd Special Prosecutor Act was aimed at creating an impeachment political situation with Lee Jae-myung's representative, Bangtan.

Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho criticized in the morning meeting that if anything is woven like the Democratic Party's Special Prosecutor Act, the Lee Jae-myung Special Prosecutor Act could make 130 cases subject to investigation.

So far, I'm YTN Lim Sungjae in the National Assembly.
