In addition, the Democratic Party of Korea urged acting President Han Deok-soo to promulgate the independent counsel law and the independent counsel law for Kim Gun-hee by the day after tomorrow.
Kwon Sung-dong, acting leader of the People's Power Party, also held a press conference and responded that the Democratic Party of Korea is causing the independent counsel to explode.
Let's connect with the National Assembly reporter to find out more.
Reporter Hong Min Gi! The Democratic Party urged the two independent counsel laws to be promulgated by the day after tomorrow?
[Reporter]
Yes, it is.
Park Chan-dae, floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, held a press conference at the National Assembly a while ago and raised the pressure level toward the ruling party.
Acting President Han Deok-soo, who is replacing the suspended president, urged the two special prosecutors to accept and announce the two special prosecutors at a Cabinet meeting the day after tomorrow at the latest.
If the bill is not promulgated by then, he said he would be held accountable immediately, which is interpreted as a sign that he will push for impeachment.
We also called for active cooperation in the process of appointing three constitutional judges, which are currently vacant.Floor leader
Park also mentioned the formation of a ruling-opposition-government consultative body in which the ruling and opposition parties disagree.
Earlier, the People's Power Kwon Sung-dong, acting chairman of the party, dismissed the position that the floor leader should participate instead of the leaders of both parties as not suitable for the national emergency.
Since the floor leaders of the ruling and opposition parties can meet at all times at the National Assembly, it should be an emergency consultative body involving representatives of both parties, acting presidents, and even the chairman of the National Assembly.
While emphasizing the "two-track" of suppressing civil war and stabilizing state affairs, he also pressed acting Han Deok-soo again, saying that suppressing civil war may take precedence over stabilizing state affairs.

It is said that the power of the people also expressed its position today, so please tell us what it was about.

Kwon Sung-dong, acting chairman and floor leader of the People's Power Party, held a press conference at a similar time.
First of all, he argued that it was a clear violation of the constitution for the opposition to monopolize the right to recommend candidates for the special prosecution, and that it was rather a violation of the constitution not to use the veto power despite the obvious unconstitutional elements.
Regarding the Kim Gun-hee independent counsel law, it was actually an independent counsel for the government and the ruling party, and the opposition-recommended independent counsel's plan to investigate 15 cases of the government and the ruling party was a riot of the independent counsel.
This week, he said he would decide with lawmakers whether to propose vetoing the two special prosecutors, considering various situations.
He pointed out that the opposition party's announcement of the impeachment of Acting President Han Deok-soo is also willing to devastate the state administration.
The issue of the appointment of constitutional judges urged the president's authority, and raised voices that calling for impeachment on the right to reject unconstitutional legislation is forcing the Democratic Party to follow its party line.
Regarding the ruling-opposition party-government consultative body, the issue of participation in the party leader or floor leader is not a matter of meeting and discussing or fighting, and I suggested to Park Chan-dae, the floor leader, to meet today to discuss the consultative body.

Yes, the power of the people has been struggling with the appointment of the emergency committee chairman, was there a related explanation?
[Reporter]
Yes, in the party, the prevailing opinion is that acting Kwon prefers a "two-top system" in which he does not concurrently serve as the emergency committee chairman but has a separate chairman, and five senior members with experience are considered the leading candidates.
Specifically, lawmakers Kwon Young-se and Na Kyung-won are mentioned, and as most of them have expressed their intention to "oppose impeachment," there is a concern that the so-called "road pro-yoon party" image will remain a political burden.
In response, acting Kwon said at a meeting a little while ago that it was a "biased statement," dismissing that there were no pro-Yoon, non-Yoon, pro-Korean, or anti-Korean in the face of the impeachment bill, and that they were all pro-people and pro-people.
He also explained that he is agonizing over several people, saying, "I would like to be a person who resolves the crisis and division of the party early and shows the future vision of the party."
Some in the ruling party are mentioning former lawmaker Yoo Seung Min, who has consistently criticized the party before and after the impeachment, as a "rescue pitcher."
Acting President Kwon Sung-dong plans to hold a general meeting of lawmakers as early as this week and announce the chairman of the emergency committee.
