The Democratic Party of Korea will revise some of the independent counsel law on civil war, which was rejected yesterday, and propose it again today.
As the acting president Choi Sang-mok and the ruling party decided to hand over the right to recommend the special prosecutor to a third party, attention is being paid to whether they can find a point of contact.
I'm connecting you with a reporter from the National Assembly. Reporter Park Kiwan!
What is included in the Civil War Special Counsel Act that will be reissued today?
[Reporter]
Yes, as you said, the Democratic Party of Korea will revise some of the Insurrection Special Counsel Act, which was rejected in the plenary session's re-vote yesterday, and reissue it today.
In a call with YTN, a key Democratic Party official explained that the Supreme Court, a third party, rather than the opposition party, would recommend the special counsel, and the non-soil clause would be removed instead.
The Democratic Party of Korea is believed to be trying to pressure the acceptance of the special prosecution by removing the veto of Acting President Choi Sang-mok or the cause of the ruling party's opposition vote and stimulating the departure vote.
There are opinions that the independent counsel law should be submitted even within the power of the people, so attention is being paid to whether the ruling and opposition parties can find a point of contact.
In response, a key People's Power official said in a phone call with YTN that the investigation was too broad to be effectively a special investigation into the destruction of conservatives.
Although there are still many unconstitutional factors, it has left room for the possibility of submitting the ruling party's own special prosecution law.
Apart from this, the leaders of the ruling and opposition parties continued their war of nerves over the execution of a warrant for President Yoon's arrest.
Kwon Young-se, the emergency committee chairman of the People's Power, has repeatedly sparked "suspicious internal affairs," saying opposition lawmakers are in fact leading the execution of police warrants.
If the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police start arresting President Yoon in accordance with the Democratic Party's demands, it constitutes a serious constitutional dispute, and they launched an offensive as if they had taken power.
On the other hand, Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the Democratic Party, criticized the rejection of the independent counsel for the rebellion, saying that the power of the people who are not willing to obey the rule of law will go down the path of destruction like Sodom and Gomorrah.
In addition, he repeatedly pressed the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police to execute the warrant as soon as possible with the determination of the breakthrough.

Working-level consultations will also be held ahead of the launch of a state-run consultative body to calm the political turmoil?
[Reporter]
Yes, the ruling and opposition parties will hold a working-level consultation with the government and the chairman of the National Assembly from 11:00 a.m. to discuss the agenda.
Earlier, the Democratic Party of Korea insisted that an additional budget worth at least 20 trillion won should be included in the agenda of the national council.
On the other hand, the power of the people is that early budget execution takes precedence over supplementary budget,
Instead of
, they are confronting that the Special Act on Semiconductors and the Electricity Network Expansion Act, pension reform, and the establishment of a special constitutional amendment committee should be included.
Although the national affairs consultative body, which was almost canceled once, is about to be launched again, it is expected that it will be difficult to narrow differences from agendas such as supplementary budget and constitutional amendment.
Apart from this, the National Assembly is holding a grand government question that was postponed this afternoon due to the aviation disaster.
In addition to the emergency martial law crisis, a wide range of inquiries are expected on various topics such as fact-finding of aviation disasters and economic crises.
However, it is expected that the opposition party's massive offensive will be inevitable over the absence of Acting President Choi Sang-mok.
