On the second day of the National Assembly's parliamentary audit, the ruling and opposition parties are raising the level of their offensive targeting representative Lee Jae-myung and first lady Kim Gun-hee, respectively.

On top of that, the Democratic Party of Korea is even pushing for a permanent special prosecution against Kim, and the confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties is intensifying.

I'm connecting you with a reporter from the National Assembly. Reporter Lim Sungjae!

This morning, the ruling and opposition parties held a meeting of countermeasures for the parliamentary audit and checked the overall audit situation, right?

[Reporter]
First, the People's Power criticized the Democratic Party of Korea for driving the inspection into a political dispute at the National Audit Countermeasures Meeting.

In particular, he pointed out that on the first day of the parliamentary audit, the Democratic Party of Korea "lined" 17 government officials in a row at the National Assembly, which is nothing short of a terrible power trip.Let's listen to



[Choo Kyung-ho / People's Power Floor Leader: They lined up like people's trials and insulted you as a tool of the regime. It's a terrible power trip.]

At the same time, he stressed that the Democratic Party of Korea is randomly stabbing with a symbol that only one gets caught, and that he hopes to regain his reason and engage in a "people's livelihood inspection" instead of political strife.

Similarly, the Democratic Party of Korea, which held an inspection meeting, raised the level of its offensive with Myung Tae-kyun, a key figure in Kim Gun-hee's alleged involvement in the nomination.

In particular, he cited some testimony that he gave former lawmaker Kim Young-sun the nomination in the 2022 by-elections in exchange for providing public opinion polls to President Yoon Suk Yeol.He called

a 'secret heavyweight' and raised his voice to correct the abnormalities.Let's listen to



[Park Chan-dae / Floor Leader of the Democratic Party of Korea: A country where non-elections are rampant is not normal. We've already been through it, and we know how it ended.

Despite the war of nerves between the ruling and opposition parties, 10 parliamentary standing committees are conducting parliamentary audits of each audited organization today.

In the first parliamentary inspection of the Ministry of Justice and others, a war of nerves was expected between the ruling and opposition parties over the investigation of representative Lee Jae-myung and the suspicion of first lady Kim Gun-hee.

From the beginning, the opposition party alone voted to issue an accompanying order for prosecutor Kim Young-chul, who was not present as a witness for the parliamentary audit, drawing opposition from lawmakers of the People's Power Party.

The National Policy Committee's parliamentary inspection of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission was once crippled due to controversial past remarks by Vice Chairman Chung Seung-yoon, who led the closing of Kim's luxury bag case.

The opposition lawmaker said he would sue and accuse the National Assembly if Vice Chairman Chung steps down from his previous position, pointing out that this is a threat to the National Assembly,

proposed consultations between the ruling and opposition party secretaries, but the opposition party immediately demanded action and the ruling and opposition parties fought.

The Democratic Party, which is raising the level of its offensive against First Lady Kim, is even starting a permanent special prosecutor, right?

[Reporter]
This morning, the Democratic Party submitted a request for a permanent special prosecutor investigation to the National Assembly Secretariat's bill department.As the

First Lady Kim Gun-hee Act' was canceled due to the exercise of the president's right to request reconsideration, it seems that the 'standing independent counsel' card that cannot be requested for reconsideration is in full swing.

Kim Yong-min, the deputy floor leader for policy, met with reporters at the National Assembly and explained that it is a concept that promotes individual special prosecutors separately but at the same time.

In particular, the Democratic Party of Korea is also pushing for a revision of the National Assembly rules that will prevent the ruling party from participating in the standing special prosecutor candidate recommendation committee to investigate illegal cases involving the president and his family.

Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the party, also said that the two-way special prosecutor will find out the gate of Kim, which smells bad.

In response, the ruling party is protesting that the opposition party is playing a "trick."

Choo Kyung-ho, floor leader of People's Power, criticized the Democratic Party's plan to reissue the Kim Special Prosecutor Act and revise the permanent special prosecution system at the same time, saying it would monopolize the right to investigate and prosecute.

The party continues to make noise over the 'se-mole' of Han Dong-hoon, the representative of the People's Power, right?

[Reporter]
Representative Han Dong-hoon visited Gokseong, Jeollanam-do for the first time since the October 16 by-elections were confirmed.

He went on a campaign rally in Honam, which is considered an inferior region of the party.

In the party, aftershocks have continued over Han's recent dinner with 20 lawmakers and a group luncheon with the chairman of the outside party cooperation committee.

In a phone call with YTN, senior lawmaker Chin Yoon-gye said, "Is it normal for a person with party power to show off his or her taxes while eating?" and criticized that trust does not come from such things.

A key floor official also expressed regret over the fact that Han's meeting was known one after another while the parliamentary audit was busy.

On the other hand, Rep. Jang Dong-hyuk, a member of the "pro-limit", refuted in an MBC radio interview, saying that dinner and others were scheduled a long time ago, and that Sera is not called.

At the same time, he said that opinions on various pending issues naturally came and went at the meal, which includes a number of pending issues surrounding Mrs. Kim, indicating that a subtle war of nerves with "pro-yoon-gye" continues.

So far, I'm YTN Lim Sungjae in the National Assembly.
