Reporter Lee Joon-yeop, please tell us the details of the press conference of the floor leaders of the ruling and opposition parties.
[Reporter]
Yes, the floor leaders of both parties held a meeting at 11 a.m. today and poured out sharp remarks toward each other while conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the parliamentary audit.
People's Power Floor Leader Choo Kyung-ho accused the Democratic Party, a large opposition party buried in political strife, of being a nuisance, a curtain wall, and a bulletproof inspection of the government during the month of the inspection.
In particular, he pointed out that the head of the National Assembly has been reduced to a "private law firm" by blatantly threatening the claim of Lee Jae-myung's innocence against the heads of courts who attended the parliamentary inspection.
Then, the Democratic Party of Korea's large-scale outdoor rally held yesterday was also like a "BTS party together," saying that the whole nation knows that the purpose is only Lee's bulletproof party.
[Choo Kyung-ho / People's Power Floor Leader: (Representational Lee Jae-myung) has sophistry that the government and the ruling party have destroyed democracy. It's not something to say openly to a person who has four previous convictions and is facing four trials on 11 charges in seven cases.
On the other hand, Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the Democratic Party, claimed that the biggest achievement of the parliamentary inspection this time was to reveal the ugly face of the regime by disclosing the recordings of President Yoon Suk Yeol and Myung Tae-kyun's alleged nomination intervention.
The final conclusion of the parliamentary inspection is also that Kim Gun-hee is the special prosecutor, and the Democratic Party of Korea said it plans to hold a sit-in in the National Assembly to make November the month of the special prosecution and urge it to pass.
He then said that the only way for President Yoon to live is to accept the special prosecution, and demanded that the people's power and representative Han Dong-hoon follow the public sentiment to investigate Kim.
[Park Chan-dae / Floor Leader of the Democratic Party of Korea: The only way for President Yoon Suk Yeol to live is to accept Kim Gun-hee as an independent counsel. I urge you to follow the public sentiment to investigate Representative Han Dong-hoon and the People's Power as well as First Lady Kim Gun-hee.]

The ruling party's agony over the solution to the First Lady Kim problem is deepening?
[Reporter]
Yes, Han Dong-hoon, the leader of the People's Power, who has remained silent since the release of the phone recordings of President Yoon and Myung, is expected to announce his position as early as tomorrow, drawing attention to the content and level of the situation.
A key official in the party's leadership office said in a call with YTN that if the recording was pre-release inflammation, it was diagnosed with cancer after the release.
He then complained that the previously proposed solution to Mrs. Kim, including a special inspector, did not fit the situation.
However, he explained the atmosphere that he has been waiting for a while, believing that Yongsan's leading solution, such as reform measures, could avoid "disorder controversy."
In this regard, senior citizens of the People's Power will also hold a private meeting with standing advisors at the central headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, today to discuss the recent crisis of the party.
Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho of ∀ said at a press conference today that the presidential office will take the concerns of the general public seriously, predicting that the party will think deeply about the party and Yongsan-daero.
However, he said that he would separate the elements of political dispute, but he did not hide his displeasure to the Democratic Party, which predicted the "release of additional recordings," saying that it was not a 49-episode drama and that it should be released quickly.

In the meantime, next year's budget political situation will begin in earnest starting this week, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, it is expected to show the cold air between the ruling and opposition parties from tomorrow's budget correction speech.
For the first time in 11 years since Park Geun Hye's government, Yoon Suk Yeol was absent and Prime Minister Han Duck-soo was set to read the speech.
The People's Power put the responsibility for the absence on the opposition party, saying that there has been no out-of-court struggle to suggest impeachment of the president ahead of the administrative speech.
In addition, the government's budget for next year, which is worth 677 trillion won, is the result of hard work to protect people's livelihoods, security and public safety, vowing to protect it thoroughly.
[Choo Kyung-ho / People's Power Floor Leader: I urge the Democratic Party of Korea once again to approach the people's livelihood budget from the perspective of spending the people's taxpayers' money properly, not through political strife.]
On the other hand, the Democratic Party of Korea recorded its first absence from the opening ceremony of the National Assembly since democratization in 1987, and criticized it for breaking the tradition of the president's administrative speech.
They are determined to cut off the budget that refuses to be reviewed by the National Assembly, including the prosecution's special activity expenses, while restoring the budget for free high school education, which has fallen into the government's bill.
[Park Chan-dae / Floor Leader of the Democratic Party of Korea: I ask the President and the First Lady to speak frankly and unequivocally to the public (in the speech) about all suspicions, not just about Myung Tae-kyun.]
From the 7th to the 8th, a comprehensive policy questionnaire of the Special Committee on Budget and Accounts will be held, and a full-fledged fight between the ruling and opposition parties is expected to begin.
So far, I've delivered it to you by the National Assembly.
