The ruling and opposition parties are in fierce conflict over the budget of power institutions such as the presidential office, the prosecution, and the Board of Audit and Inspection, ahead of the re-vote of the Kim Special Prosecutors Act, which returned to the National Assembly for the third time.

In addition to the impeachment of the head of the agency, the National Assembly in December is expected to face off without concessions.

The Democratic Party of Korea delayed the re-voting of Kim's special counsel law, which had been predicted to be on the 28th of last month, by two weeks after Lee Jae-myung was found not guilty in the first trial of perjury.

We expect that more votes will come out if we watch more of the self-destruction in the ruling camp triggered by the daily suspicion of Myung Tae-kyun and the controversy over the party bulletin board.

In addition, we are preparing a series of devices to pressure the president and his wife and the ruling party, including the permanent special prosecutor, the parliamentary investigation of Chae Sang-byung, and the impeachment of the president of the Board of Audit and Inspection.

The people's power is confident that a single battalion will not be broken in the face of the large opposition party's offensive.

Some observers said Han Dong-hoon could take up the card of accepting Kim's special prosecutor against pro-Yoon-gye, who attacks him over the party bulletin board, but even close circles pointed out that it is a weak justification strategy.

The investigation into Myung Tae-kyun is also likely to be difficult to aim at President Yoon and the ruling party right away, so they are watching public opinion and waiting and seeing.

However, there is no real way to prevent permanent special prosecutors, parliamentary investigations, and the impeachment of the auditor and prosecutors except for public opinion and constitutional trials.

The review of the budget for next year's national budget for extreme political strife has received relatively little attention.

The Democratic Party of Korea is sticking to its intention to drastically cut special expenses and government reserves for power agencies, saying it will clearly show the National Assembly's authority to deliberate on the budget.

The ruling party protested, saying it was an attempt to tie the hands and feet of the government, but it has not been able to provide a good incentive to bring about a compromise by the opposition party.

Many say that the vicious cycle of failing to resolve differences through dialogue and relying on investigations or judges' judgment instead of political solutions has worsened in the first year of the 22nd National Assembly.
