The National Assembly's plenary session on the 14th, this Thursday, is expected to introduce the "Kim Gun-hee Special Prosecutor Act," which was proposed for the third time by the Democratic Party of Korea.

In response to the opposition's attack on the independent counsel law, the ruling and opposition parties are fiercely fighting, with the People's Power starting to discuss "special inspector" who inspects the president's family and others.

I'm connecting with the National Assembly reporter, reporter Lim Sung-jae!

Please tell us the atmosphere of the ruling party first.

[Reporter]
Yes, within the power of the people, the discussion on the promotion of a special inspector, which was publicly demanded by representative Han Dong-hoon, is a hot topic.

Kim Sang-hoon, chairman of the policy committee, said at a press conference at the National Assembly that he will hold a general meeting of lawmakers to discuss the special inspector on the 14th, and that he is trying to discuss in a way that avoids conflicts within the party.Let's listen to

However, he added that since the Democratic Party of Korea opposes it, it will be necessary to wait and see if the ruling and opposition parties can agree on the appointment of a special inspector smoothly.

In the first place, the floor leadership linked the recommendation of a special inspector to the Democratic Party of Korea's recommendation of a director of the North Korean Human Rights Foundation, resulting in a battle between pro-Yoon-gye and close relatives.

Some analysts say that if the issue of the special inspector is smoothly agreed at the general meeting of the ruling party lawmakers, it could be used as a card to counter the opposition's attack on the special counsel law against Kim.

CEO Han Dong-hoon, who has emphasized the promotion of the special inspection, made a counterattack on SNS today with the sentence of CEO Lee Jae-myung, which is coming on the 15th.

If he is innocent because he is not guilty, there will be no more politically beneficial event for the Democratic Party than the live broadcast of Representative Lee's trial, he said, urging the ruling to be broadcast live.

Regarding the Democratic Party's successive outdoor rallies, they also criticized the party for holding a "judge intimidation demonstration" to turn it into innocence, saying it is evidence that they think representative Lee is guilty.

What is the reaction of the Democratic Party of Korea to the ruling party's position?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Democratic Party says that there is not enough "special inspector" in the current situation that focuses on preventing misconduct by the president's relatives.

Spokesperson Han Min-soo asked at a National Assembly briefing, "Do you think the special inspector can reveal the truth of Kim's alleged manipulation of state affairs?"Let's listen to



[Han Min-soo / Minjoo Party spokesperson: Do you think Han Dong-hoon can meet the angry voices of the people right now as a special inspector? Even now, please immediately accept the Special Prosecutor's Act of Kim Gun-hee.]

In particular, the ruling party itself insisted that the president of Yoon Suk Yeol should demand the acceptance of the special prosecution law so that he can apologize to the people.

He added that if the people's power expresses its position to accept the special prosecutor, it will then discuss the process of consultations between the ruling and opposition parties over the appointment of a special inspector within the party.

It is widely expected that if the independent counsel law led by the opposition party goes to the plenary session this week, it will pass with a majority vote amid the opposition's numerical advantage.
Even if the
Special Prosecutor Act is passed, President Yoon Suk Yeol is expected to exercise his right to demand reconsideration, so the Democratic Party is keeping an eye on the re-vote expected on the 28th.

From the perspective of the Democratic Party of Korea, it is expected to focus on the offensive aimed at this niche, as more than eight votes from the ruling party are needed to implement the independent counsel law.

After the second outdoor rally yesterday, the Democratic Party plans to strengthen its public opinion campaign by launching a third outdoor rally in solidarity with other opposition parties on the 16th.

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