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!

Yes, it's the National Assembly.

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 parliamentary inspection of the National Assembly's political affairs committee on the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission sparked a dispute between the ruling and opposition parties over Vice Chairman Chung Seung-yoon, who led the closing of Kim's luxury bag case, saying he would sue opposition lawmakers in the past.

In addition, the Democratic Party's Chairman Lee Jae-myung's "controversy over helicopter preferential treatment" continued at the parliamentary inspection of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and the education ministry and other parliamentary inspection of the government had a war of nerves over the issuance of an order to accompany a person related to Kim's alleged ghostwriting.

Let's listen to the remarks of the ruling and opposition lawmakers.

[Seo Myeong-ok / National Assembly Health and Welfare Committee: If a patient ignores medical judgment and uses emergency transportation without principles just because he/she is an influential person, when can Koreans who really need emergency transport receive treatment?]

[Kim Jun-hyuk / Minjoo Party member, National Assembly Education Committee: Write the company's business plan as it is. First Lady Kim Gun-hee is related to this, and she cites not only this content, but also other papers in full.]

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.

The Democratic Party explained that it is a concept that promotes individual special prosecutors separately but at the same time.

[Kim Yong-min / Deputy floor policy leader of the Democratic Party of Korea: The assessment that the veto is out of bounds is mainstream. Nevertheless, we are trying to utilize the permanent special prosecutor system because we continue to veto it.]

In particular, the Democratic Party is also pushing for a revision of the National Assembly rules that would prevent the ruling party from participating in the standing special prosecutor candidate recommendation committee, which will 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."

The People's Power criticized that the Democratic Party of Korea's re-issuance of the Kim Special Prosecutor Act and the revision of the permanent special prosecution system mean that it will monopolize the right to investigate and prosecute.

[BAE JUN YOUNG / Deputy floor leader of People's Power: It is a thinly veiled attempt to lead the independent counsel to impeachment by the Democratic Party, for the Democratic Party, and for the independent counsel.]

There is an aftershock within the party over whether it is a push or not over the recent dinner of representative Han Dong-hoon 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.

On the other hand, Rep. Jang Dong-hyuk of the "pro-limit" said in an MBC radio interview that the dinner was scheduled a long time ago, and that opinions on pending issues such as Kim were exchanged, indicating that a subtle war of nerves with pro-Yoon-gye continues.

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