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 24th.
In response, the power of the people responded that the Democratic Party of Korea is causing the independent counsel to explode.
The floor leaders of both parties held a press conference today, and we will connect with the National Assembly reporters 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, the floor leader of the Democratic Party, held a press conference this morning and raised the pressure level by making specific demands for the ruling party.
He urged Acting President Han Deok-soo, who is replacing the suspended president, to accept and announce the two special prosecutors at the 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 ordered 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, which the ruling and opposition parties have some differences in.
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, they say 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 repeatedly pressured acting Han Deok-soo, saying that suppressing civil war may take precedence over stabilizing state affairs.
The Cho Kuk Innovation Party also held a press conference to disclose the impeachment motion of acting Han Deok-soo and urged the Democratic Party to promulgate the Special Prosecutor Act and others by the 24th.

Kwon Sung-dong, acting chairman and floor leader of the People's Power Party, held a press conference at a similar time and criticized the two special prosecution laws for the Democratic Party's plan to paralyze the government and the ruling party.
He argued that the opposition party's monopoly on the right to recommend candidates for the special prosecution is a clear violation of the constitution, and that it is rather a violation of the constitution not to use the veto power even though the unconstitutional element is clear.
Following the police, prosecutors, and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, the special prosecutor will further fuel competition in the investigation, and the opposition-recommended special prosecutor will investigate 15 cases of the government and the ruling party.
This week, he said he would decide with lawmakers whether to propose vetoing the two independent counsel laws, 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 his voice that calling for impeachment on the right to reject unconstitutional legislation is forcing the Democratic Party to follow its partisan interests.
The issue of participation in the party leader or floor leader of the ruling and opposition party consultative body 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 said that he is agonizing over several people, saying that it would be better for him to resolve the crisis and division of the party early and show the party's future vision.
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.
