When President Yoon exercised his right to demand reconsideration on three bills, including Kim Gun-hee, the ruling party emphasized that it was a natural decision, and the opposition party warned that the people would reject the president.

The ruling and opposition parties also showed a sharp difference in temperature over the results of the investigation into Kim's luxury bag.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Jeong Inyong!

Please tell us more about the reaction of the ruling and opposition parties to President Yoon's request for reconsideration!

[Reporter]
The People's Power defined that President Yoon's demand for reconsideration is a decision to correct the president's authority and constitutional values granted by the Constitution.

The opposition party dealt with the bills unilaterally even though they were not at all resolved in terms of their unconstitutionality,
He pointed out that the opposition's attempts to continue to induce the demand for reconsideration
were irresponsible.

[Kwak Kyu-taek / Senior spokesman for People's Power: (The opposition party) should reflect first on its acts of engaging in political strife for its own political gain. In addition, I urge you to stop re-issuing anti-constitutional legislation.]

On the other hand, the opposition party again criticized President Yoon as the 24th veto in two years and five months of his inauguration, saying he exercised his veto.

In particular, he urged the public to face up to the public's cries for covering up Kim, obstructing the investigation into the death of Chae Sang-byung, and resolving the hardships of people's livelihoods.

[Han Min-soo / Spokesperson of the Democratic Party of Korea: We should be afraid of public judgment against a president who does not fulfill his or her duties ordered by the people who are sovereign. Sooner or later, the people will reject the president.]


The ruling and opposition parties showed mixed reactions to the prosecution's acquittal of the first lady's luxury bag receiving case.

The People's Power said it expects the suspicion to be resolved as a result of the investigation, and that it wants those who participated in the secret camera maneuver to reflect on the first lady's human rights.

On the other hand, the Democratic Party of Korea pointed out that the prosecution betrayed the people who expected a little fairness and conscience, saying, "Is Kim more scary than the people?"

The ruling party seems to have a growing impact on the phone recording of a person from the presidential office.

Please tell us what it's about with your party's reaction.

[Reporter]
Yes, controversy continues over the past phone calls exchanged between Kim Dae-nam, an auditor of the Seoul Guarantee Corporation, a former senior administrator in the presidential office, and a pro-night media reporter.

During the last national convention, Kim's remarks were made public that Kim Gun-hee would like to attack then-party candidate Han Dong-hoon.

Kim, a member of the People's Power Party, said in a statement today that he is a person who has no contact with Kim at all and that the reporter who made the report knows about it, and that he is sorry to representative Han and others.

However, a key party official said, "As it was done when I was a member of the party, we will proceed with the investigation," adding, "We will also pursue legal action if necessary."

On the other hand, Rep. Yun-gye, who is pro-YTN, drew a line to the controversy, saying that he appears to have made exaggerated remarks just because he is from the presidential office.

In the meantime, President Yoon is having a dinner with the ruling party's floor leadership and standing committee chairman today, and there are many interpretations about the absence of representative Han Dong-hoon.

A key floor official was wary of the expanded interpretation that it was an encouragement to prepare well for the October parliamentary audit, but
In the
pro-limit, he said that it is the party leader's position to oversee the floor and the outside world, and expressed an unfavorable view to discussing the situation of the National Assembly without Han.

Today, the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee is also holding a hearing on prosecutor Park Sang-yong's impeachment.

How's the atmosphere?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Judiciary Committee hearing resumed at 2:30 p.m.

Prosecutor Park Sang-yong is suspected of cajoling false statements against former Lieutenant Governor Lee Hwa-young while investigating the case of illegal remittance to North Korea.

Democratic Party lawmakers defined the hearing as about the political prosecution's alleged stalking crime behavior of Lee Jae-myung,
The prosecution
committed illegal activities such as kissing and manipulating evidence and turned the stock price manipulation case into a case aimed at visiting Lee. Let's listen to it.

The opposition party also released records of former Chairman Kim Sung-tae and former Vice Chairman Bang Yong-chul appearing at the prosecutor's office at the same time on the day when they were recorded as a drinking party in the former lieutenant governor Lee's prison notes.

The ruling party protested that it was a waste of time and a shameful hearing, saying that the reason for prosecutor Park's impeachment itself was not established.

At the same time, he lashed out at the opposition party why Lee Jae-myung, the representative lawyer, should do what he should do at the National Assembly.

[Joo Jin-woo / People's Power: Why should we do what representative lawyer Lee Jae-myung should do at the National Assembly when we receive taxpayers' money? I think it's an act of breach of trust against the people. It is intended to be bulletproof to make even one piece of data favorable to Lee Jae-myung's trial..]

In addition, the hearing was undermined by former lieutenant governor Lee's past lawyers, saying there was no conciliation of statements, threatening prosecutors.

This is YTN Jeong Yong-yong in the National Assembly so far.
