Political circles are fighting over the "Civil War Special Counsel Act," which the opposition party proposed again a day after the abolition of the bill.

Discussions on related standing committees also began today, with the ruling party strongly criticizing it as a rough-and-ready legislation at the level of a "box split," and the Democratic Party of Korea did not budge, saying it reflected the ruling party's demands significantly.

I'm connecting you with a reporter from the National Assembly. Reporter Kim Dayeon!

First of all, please tell us in detail about the power of the people.

[Reporter]
Yes, a plenary session of the National Assembly Judiciary Committee was held in the morning, and the new independent counsel law proposed by the opposition party was handed over to the bill review subcommittee, and the process began in earnest.

In response, he expressed dissatisfaction, saying that the power of the people is a one-sided battle of speed by the opposition party.

Rep. Yoo Sang-beom, the ruling party secretary of the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee, pushes a new bill a day after the bill was scrapped, as if he were printing a cake from a bakery,
He appealed to the National Assembly to follow the deliberation period set by the National Assembly Act, saying,
Is it okay to start reviewing the bill right away?

At the morning meeting, there was also a statement comparing the new bill to a 'box change', so let's listen to it for ourselves.

[Kwon Sung-dong / People's Power Floor Leader: The Democratic Party of Korea is doing well as if the special prosecution law was a great concession, but in reality, it is only a box-shifting special prosecution law that only changed the packaging. Of course, we cannot accept this special investigation law.]

The ruling party is paying attention to the fact that there are more targets for investigation than existing bills.

The propaganda and instigation of insurrection are also added to the investigation target, and the general public who commented on the article can also be subject to the investigation.

He also pointed out that the special prosecutor, which added an investigation clause on related complaints and accusations, is an "imperial special prosecutor" that will eventually catch all those who do not like the "Lee Jae-myung force."It is also problematic that the crime of

'foreign exchange', that is, the crime of secretly conspiring with foreign countries to threaten the existence of the state, was added.

Kwon Young-se, chairman of the emergency committee, refuted that if foreign exchange includes various defense drills against North Korea's provocations, it is a problem in itself, and the perception that North Korea is viewed as a foreign country is theoretically a big problem.

The ruling party is also considering issuing its own independent counsel law, but for now, Joo Jin-woo, the chairman of the legal advisory committee, is preparing the bill.

The plan is to hold a general meeting of lawmakers around next week and continue discussions, but there are few opinions within the party on whether it is necessary to add to the confusion due to the establishment of a special prosecutor when the investigation is underway by other agencies. It is unclear whether it will actually lead to the proposal.

The opposition party says it can't make any more concessions, right?

[Reporter]
As demanded by the ruling party, the recommendation of candidates for special prosecution was left to a third party, that is, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, not a political party,

The opposition party has also taken out the "Vitokwon," the right to demand re-recommendation of candidates, and they also ask what they are dissatisfied with.

The only thing that has changed is that the members of the ruling party think that they will be investigated indefinitely because they did a lot wrong.

There was also a rebuttal from the Judiciary Committee, where Rep. Park Beom-gye said the Democratic Party had already made a "big concession" and hoped the bill would be passed at the plenary session next Monday.

Chung Chung-rae, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, admitted that the ruling party's argument that the meditation period should be observed is not very wrong, but

However, it is an extraordinary time for the whole nation to suffer from "insurgency insomnia" when President Yoon is arrested, and said it is important to stabilize the state affairs as soon as possible.

The Democratic Party continues to pressure the ruling party not only with the independent counsel for the rebellion, but also with the independent counsel for Kim Gun-hee and the independent counsel for Chae Sang-byung.

At the morning meeting, Park Chan-dae, the floor leader, argued that the Chae Sang-byung incident, the suspicion of intervening in the nomination of Myung Tae-kyun, and the emergency martial law incident were one body.With the revelation of

, he even made an inference that he even went to martial law to prevent the ugly bare face of President Yoon and his wife from being disclosed, so we will listen to it for ourselves.

[Park Chan-dae / Minjoo Party floor leader: Yoon Suk Yeol and Kim Gun-hee are the biggest risks in Korea. Investigation of Yoon Suk Yeol and Kim Gun-hee, the core bodies of the Marine Chae case, the Myung Tae-kyun case, and the December 3 emergency martial law, must be carried out.]

Referring to former Marine Corps investigator Park Jung-hoon, who was acquitted in the first trial, Lee Jae-myung also said he will push for the special prosecution law again to find out how the corporal died, including prosecution and maintenance of prosecution.
