Three bills, including Kim Gun-hee, who returned to the National Assembly at the president's request for reconsideration, were rejected after a re-vote.

The opposition party even formed a "first lady judgment headquarters" in the party to push for a special prosecution again, and the ruling party protested to stop the legislative dictatorship for the resignation of the government.

Kim Gun-hee's independent counsel law, the Chae Sang-byung independent counsel law, and the local currency law amendment to promote the use of local love gift certificates have all been scrapped.

Two days after he was handed over to the National Assembly due to the exercise of the president's right to demand reconsideration, there were some votes to leave the people's power, but the results were as expected.

[Won-Sik Woo / Speaker of the National Assembly: The re-deliberation of the bill on the appointment of a special prosecutor to find out the truth of Kim Gun-hee's stock price manipulation case/ is declared to have been rejected with 194 votes, 104 votes in attachment, one abstention, and one invalid vote]

Even before the re-decision of the plenary session, the power of the people declared that all three bills were 'bad laws' and vowed to oppose them with party theory,

[Han Dong-hoon / Representative of the People's Power: The Democratic Party's special prosecutor bill can be chosen by the Democratic Party and overturned by the Democratic Party, and if such a law is passed, the judicial system will collapse, so it must be prevented.]

The Democratic Party of Korea engaged in a sharp war of nerves, saying that opposing the special prosecution would make the ruling party an accomplice and not make a stupid choice.

[Kim Min-seok / Supreme Council member of the Minjoo Party: We will follow the people's orders. People's Power What would lawmakers do? If you block it this time, it will collapse next time. We look forward to the courage of the Constitutional Organization of the Republic of Korea in the curtain of free voting.

The Democratic Party of Korea plans to set up a "Kim Gun-hee First Lady Judgment Headquarters" and re-issue the special prosecution, including suspicions raised during the parliamentary audit that begins next week.

[Park Chan-dae / Minjoo Party floor leader: It is fair and common sense for any powerful person to be punished for committing a crime. We will continue to propose and pursue the Special Prosecutor's Act until it is passed and announced.]

The People's Power countered that the purpose is to save Lee Jae-myung and step down from the government, saying that the closer the ruling of Lee Jae-myung, the more frequent the Democratic Party of Korea's legislative congestion.

[Choo Kyung-ho / People's Power Floor Leader: The Democratic Party of Korea is bulletproof to protect individual Lee Jae-myung, but we are protecting the Republic of Korea from the destructive forces of the Constitution. / Please join us in this ranks of protecting the country without wavering an inch.]

The demand for a presidential reconsideration of the bill passed by the opposition party, the re-vote of the National Assembly, and the abolition of the bill have been repeated twice in about a week.

The extreme confrontation between the opposition party, which wants to carry out the special prosecution until the end, and the ruling party, which opposes it as a trick for impeachment, shows no signs of dissolving.
