The National Assembly plans to hold a plenary session shortly and deal with the revision of the rules related to the recommendation of candidates for the permanent special prosecution.

The special prosecution of the investigation involving the president or his family calls for excluding the right to recommend the ruling party, which is expected to cause a clash between the ruling and opposition parties.

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

The People's Power is protesting that the revision of the permanent special prosecution rules promoted by the Democratic Party is unconstitutional, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, at the plenary session of the National Assembly this afternoon, the Democratic Party is expected to pass the revision of the rules of the permanent special prosecution, which is expected to clash with the ruling party.

The Democratic Party of Korea is pushing to exclude two members of the ruling party's recommendation from the formation of a standing special prosecution candidate recommendation committee consisting of seven members for the president's or his family's investigation.

The people's power is protesting that such a revision of the rules is an unconstitutional attempt that violates the principle of separation of powers.

Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho said at a morning meeting that Lee Jae-myung wanted to do politics where he coexisted, and repeatedly criticized the politics of retaliation.Let's listen to



[Choo Kyung-ho / People's Power Floor Leader: The fact that the independent counsel law and the permanent special prosecution will be pursued simultaneously is a confession that the independent counsel will continue to be politically abused.]

It is highly likely that the revision of the rules understated in numbers will be passed at the plenary session, and since it is not subject to the president's right to request reconsideration, it will be implemented immediately after the plenary session is processed.

Starting with the revision of the rules of the permanent special prosecution, the Democratic Party plans to increase the level of pressure on Kim's suspicion by re-voting the special prosecution on the 10th of next month.

Next month, he will report the impeachment motion of three prosecutors, including Lee Chang-soo, head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, and then push for a resolution, and finally re-vote the Kim Special Prosecutor Act.

Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the Democratic Party, said in a morning meeting that the Democratic Party would fight, work, and fight, signaling an all-out offensive in the future.Let's listen to



[Park Chan-dae / Minjoo Party floor leader: We will also pursue impeachment of prosecutors who exonerated (Kim on suspicion of manipulating stock prices). The Democratic Party will always fight with the people while working and working.

The ruling and opposition parties are also conducting urgent questions on pending issues related to the Sado mine in Japan at the National Assembly's Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee, right?

[Reporter]
The National Assembly's Foreign Affairs Committee is being briefed by Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yeol on how the South Korean government decided not to attend the recent Sado mine memorial ceremony in Japan.

Although there are differences in the level of both ruling and opposition lawmakers, many view the situation as a "diplomatic failure."

At the beginning of the meeting, Minister Cho Tae-yeol reiterated his responsibility as a minister for failing to carry out our arguments in consultations with Japan and making the decision not to attend.

However, lawmakers from the ruling and opposition parties criticized the complacency of the foreign authorities.Let's listen to



[Yoon Sang-hyun / People's Power: You keep saying that you feel responsible, but if you feel responsible, do you just call the Japanese embassy in Korea and say a word?]]

[Yoon Hoo-deok / Democratic Party member: (Already) responded too slowly, and he did humiliating diplomacy again, and responded with low voice, and this public opinion was intensifying.]

There were also calls from opposition lawmakers to ask whether there had been a request for weapons-of-kill aid from Ukraine, which is at war with Russia, and to not provide weapons aid if so.

There is still a factional dispute over the controversy over the 'party bulletin board' in the ruling party, right?

[Reporter]
Representative Han Dong-hoon and former Supreme Council member Kim Min, who had an "open war of words" at the leadership meeting this morning, sat down again.

Earlier at the last meeting, there was an article that said that people who write such as Han's resignation would file a complaint, and they openly asked if it was true,
In response to
, a representative gave a sharp response, such as asking us to grasp the facts first and tell them.

Again today, Supreme Council member Kim mentioned the article in his public remarks, and pressed his close circle, saying, "If there is an error, it is something that reporters and reporters should cover."Let's listen to



[Kim Min-jeon / Supreme Council Member of the People's Power: If the article has an error, I think it is something that the reporter and the reporter should cover up who is responsible for it.]

One representative did not immediately provide an additional response.

While the close circle is in the position that repeated suspicions surrounding the controversy over the party's bulletin board are to bring down representative Han,
Yun-gye, a close friend of
, insists that the writer of the question should reveal whether the person in question is a representative family member, so the internal feud continues.

Kwon Sung-dong, a member of the People's Power, pointed out at a seminar this morning that it is not a party member nor Yongsan, but a representative Han Dong-hoon who is responsible for solving the recent issue of the party bulletin board.

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