"Even mentioning the former commander"... "Killing Han Dong-hoon" controversy.

Minjoo, Lee Jae-myung, 2nd trial defense...Considering the formation of a defense team

"The first trial's defense logic collapsed...Commenting on the former mission"

Park Chan-dae said, "The special prosecutor is judged by the Constitutional Court as discretion of the National Assembly."

The Democratic Party of Korea seems to be making all-out efforts to defend itself in the second trial, with voices saying, "We need to consider putting the former director into the defense team" to Lee Jae-myung's lawyers, who were sentenced to "deprivation of the right to run for election" in the first trial of violation of the election law.

The ruling People's Power has launched a so-called "two-track" strategy of highlighting Lee's "judicial risk" and focusing on people's livelihoods at the same time, but the controversy over the party's bulletin board remains a detonator that can break the single battle.

I'm connecting with the National Assembly reporter, reporter Kim Da-yeon!

The Democratic Party of Korea seems to be considering countermeasures against Representative Lee's trial?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Democratic Party of Korea is struggling to form a lawyer representing Lee Jae-myung.

Some even say that the party should invest its budget to set up a defense team or form a dedicated team.

In response, an official from Lee's side explained that nothing has been decided in the phone call with YTN, and that there are many opinions.

However, as representative Lee received a heavier sentence than expected in the first trial, he said that the defense logic may have collapsed, and that there is also a plan to recruit former officials.

On the other hand, the Democratic Party of Korea is attacking Kim Gun-hee's Special Prosecutor Act, which is expected to be re-voted on the 28th.

In the morning meeting, it was even said that if Kim Gun-hee was judged based on the criteria applied to representative Lee, she would be sentenced to at least life imprisonment.

Floor leader Park Chan-dae said the ruling party's claim that the independent counsel is unconstitutional is sophisticated,
At the time of the Choi Soon-sil scandal, he pointed out that the Constitutional Court judged that the right to recommend and appoint independent counsel candidates was the legislative discretion of the National Assembly, so let's listen to the remarks of the meeting.

Inside and outside the party, the controversy continues over Rep. Choi Min-hee's remarks over the weekend that "if the non-name system moves, it will kill with the party members."

Rep. Park Soo-hyun, a former Cheong Wa Dae member of the Moon Jae In government, said in an interview with KBS radio that Choi should explain the true meaning of his remarks and apologize if necessary.

In response, Choi wrote on his SNS a while ago that he acknowledged that his remarks were too strong and believed that the Democratic Party would unite to protect Lee.

I will also look into the situation of the ruling party.

The ruling party plans to maintain the so-called "two-track" strategy, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, for the time being, representative Lee Jae-myung's plan is to respond to the political situation in two ways: highlighting judicial risks and people's livelihoods.

Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho said at a morning meeting that he would come up with legal measures to increase the effectiveness of returning election preservation costs.

The purpose is to prevent the Democratic Party of Korea from siphoning off 43.4 billion won in presidential election expenses if representative Lee is sentenced to prison in a violation of the Public Official Election Act.

The ruling party also pressured the Democratic Party of Korea to recommend special inspectors and directors of the North Korean Human Rights Foundation, launch a special pension committee, and process the budget bill within the deadline.

Han Dong-hoon met with small and medium-sized businessmen yesterday and plans to continue his public livelihood by visiting the Federation of Korean Trade Unions today to discuss the extension of the retirement age and the Labor Standards Act.

Some members of the party are watching closely to see if the controversy over the party's bulletin board will revive in the first time in a long time.

With the pro-Yoon Seok-yeolgye at the center, the core of the issue is not freedom of expression, but name theft, and the need for party audit is repeatedly emphasized.

On the other hand, close alumni say it's not worth responding to.

A close-knit official told YTN that the party's bulletin board incident was defined as the "third killing of representative Han" following the controversy over the general election responsibility and the disregard of Kim Gun-hee's text message.

Rep. Park Jung-hoon also targeted pro-Yoon-gye in an MBC radio interview, saying that he seems to be continuously burning fuel somewhere in order to see if the issue will turn off.
