Minju, "Myeongtae Gyun, Mrs. Kim" is on the offensive...Ruling Party gathers 'Lee Jae-myung sentencing'

[Anchor]
In the political world, a day before the plenary session of the National Assembly to vote on the first lady Kim Gun-hee's independent counsel law, the level of the opposition's offensive against Myung Tae-kyun is increasing.

The People's Power is focusing on the public opinion battle against the Democratic Party of Korea leader Lee Jae-myung, highlighting his first sentence the day after tomorrow.

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

The Democratic Party released an additional recording of Myung Taekyun today, right?

[Reporter]
The newly released development of Myung Tae-kyun today claims that after Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, was designated as a national industrial complex last year, Myung exerted his influence on the appointment of the head of the relevant institution.

It was also released that Myung knew in advance the schedule of President Yoon Suk Yeol's visit to the company, which was confidential in the past, and that he informed the people around him and recommended the company to invest in the stock.

[Myeong Tae-kyun (On the phone with Kang Hye-kyung on June 20, 2022): I got a call from the governor that Park Wan-soo will come down between the 22nd and the 25th. Whether it comes or not, if you hold it still, it will cost 60,000 to 70,000 won later....]

The Democratic Party of Korea also argues that the nature of the money should be revealed by linking Myung's statement that he received money in the name of transportation expenses from Kim in a prosecution investigation, which is about to be reviewed for an arrest warrant.

A key party official said, "Myeong's exchange of money with Kim shows that the relationship is that close," and pointed out that we should look into whether it was the price of the poll conducted by Myung during the last presidential election.

In addition, Democratic lawmakers of the National Assembly's Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee are visiting Seoul Station to check train operation data, saying they will verify the testimony that Myung and Kim shared a special train with Kim in the past.

In the morning, the "Solidarity for the Impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol" was launched in the National Assembly, involving 41 opposition lawmakers.

However, the Democratic Party's leadership is still far from impeaching the president, and instead is pressing the people's power and representative Han Dong-hoon to accept Kim's special prosecution.

The people's power is focusing on the offensive targeting representative Lee Jae-myung, who is about to be sentenced in the first trial, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, representative Han Dong-hoon criticized the Democratic Party of Korea's weekend condemnation rally on social media, calling it a "judge intimidation show."

On Saturday, several universities are scheduled to take essay tests for college entrance, and if you want to protest, don't bother the test takers and do it after the test.

The People's Power said it respects the court's decision not to broadcast Lee Jae-myung's first trial hearing live the day after tomorrow, but argued that if the ruling is released, the crime will be disclosed in detail.

The party is preparing a bill to punish judges if they use their status to threaten them and prevent delays in trials.

All of the ruling party figures who spoke to our reporters emphasized the unification, saying that now is not the time to put our firepower into the wrong or to fight among ourselves.The temperature gap between representative Han Dong-hoon and pro-Yoon-gye lawmakers, who were exposed to solving the

Kim problem, seems to be sinking below the surface for now.

In an MBC radio interview, Supreme Council member Jang Dong-hyuk said that after President Yoon's public statement, the president's office also needs time to push for reform, and that Han seems to be concentrating on the large-scale offensive by gathering the forces that have been scattered.

The ruling party is considering not participating in the vote if the Democratic Party of Korea puts the Special Prosecutor Kim's Act to the plenary session tomorrow.

[Choo Kyung-ho / People's Power Floor Leader: The independent counsel law on Mrs. Kim is anti-constitutional, so we are firmly opposed to it. We will maintain that position consistently.]

The People's Power will hold a general meeting of lawmakers just before the plenary session tomorrow to discuss the recommendation of a special inspector, which representative Han proposed as a solution to the First Lady Kim problem.

Weighs on the possibility that the floor leaders will declare that they will seek negotiations with the opposition on the recommendation of candidates for special inspectors without a separate vote, and there remains a possibility that factional conflicts will be exposed again depending on how and how the decision is made.
