Park Chan-dae, "Are you following the path of Acting President Han and President Yoon?"
Don't mention 'impeachment'...Keep an eye on the appointment of a special prosecutor and a constitutional judge.
The Democratic Party of Korea is criticizing Acting President Han Deok-soo for exercising his right to demand reconsideration on controversial bills yesterday.
However, there is still a cautious atmosphere in the pursuit of Han's impeachment.
The ruling party held its first high-level government-government council meeting this morning since the president passed the impeachment bill.

Yes, first, representative Lee Jae-myung criticized the exercise of Han Deok-soo's right to demand reconsideration, saying that the act of ignoring the legislative power of the National Assembly is repeated, and that it is a damage to the separation of powers.
Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the party, also said, "I'm very sorry, and I can't help but ask if I'm going to follow President Yoon's path."
It appears to be putting all-round pressure, but there was no direct mention of 'impeachment'.
Analysts say that Han is still controlling the level of civil war promoted by the Democratic Party, as he holds the key to the appointment of the independent counsel, the independent counsel for Kim, and the constitutional judge.
Inside the party, the most important thing is the appointment of three constitutional judges to the National Assembly to hear the impeachment trial of the president.
If the appointment is delayed, the impeachment trial will inevitably have an impact, and impeachment will not be cited even if only one person expresses a different opinion under the current six-member system.
Acting Han's impeachment could lead to a controversy over responsibility for the state affairs vacuum, and the fact that representative Lee's judicial risks remain as a political burden.
As such, the plan is to suspend the prosecution of Han's impeachment for the time being.
As the Democratic Party of Korea convened a general meeting of lawmakers from 10 a.m., related discussions are expected to take place, and a meeting to condemn Han will also be held behind the general meeting of the National Assembly.
However, many in the party view the independent counsel for rebellion, the right to veto the independent counsel for Kim, and the delay in the appointment of a constitutional judge as a so-called "impeachment barometer."
A key floor leadership official said in a phone call that public pressure will increase as the prosecution's investigation into President Yoon is speeding up, and predicted that there will be a moment when it will be difficult for Han to hold out in the end.

Please also point out the situation of the ruling party.

Yes, the People's Power held a high-level party council meeting on state security at the Prime Minister's Office in the morning.
Major government officials, including acting Han Deok-soo, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Choi Sang-mok, and ruling party leaders, including acting representative Kwon Sung-dong and policy committee chairman Kim Sang-hoon, also participated.
At the meeting, the ruling party and the government expressed their will to do their best to maintain unwavering state administration and restore the daily lives of the people.
He said he will make every effort to implement next year's budget for a difficult people's livelihood economy and strengthen communication between South Korea and the U.S. ahead of the launch of the second Trump administration next year.
Acting President Kwon Sung-dong has been meeting with the ministers and vice ministers of each department for several days, which is interpreted as a move not to lose its presence as the ruling party.
However, it is also clear that the party rarely escapes from martial law and the aftermath of impeachment.
According to the report on the previous day, the recording was released during the general meeting of the lawmakers, which was truly chaotic immediately after the impeachment was passed,
Recently, following the full text of the group chat room of lawmakers on the day of martial law, the division of the party has been leaked out, and there are growing calls within the party for the leadership to come up with measures.
In a call, a key lawmaker, Yun-gye, criticized the report as maliciously edited, but he responded psychologically about the leak, saying that the relationship between the comrades has gone out of the water.
Since Han Dong-hoon resigned, he has not been able to narrow his differences over the vacant head position.
Following yesterday, today, each player will gather to discuss the recommendation of candidates for the emergency committee chairman,
The problem with
is that there are not many people who feel burdened by giving opinions, such as recommending certain people among lawmakers in the aftermath of severe internal strife.
First of all, there are conflicting opinions within the party that acting chairman Kwon Sung-dong should concurrently serve for the time being and go to a one-top system, and that the emergency committee chairman should be elected separately.
In a call, a key official of the floor leadership weighed on the one-top system, saying that acting president Kwon should show strong leadership as it is in a crisis situation.
However, some say that there should be a person who can reform the party, and lawmaker Cho Kyung-tae stressed on the radio that the person who will take the lead in separating the president from the president should come out as the emergency committee chairman.
In the end, some point out that acting acting as Kwon Sung-dong is necessary as discussions among lawmakers are delayed.
