As the people's power formalizes the participation of the ruling, opposition, and political consultative body to resolve the confusion of the impeachment situation, discussions on the formation of an actual consultative body are expected to begin soon.

However, a last-minute fight over the scope of participation and how it is operated is also expected.

I'll connect you to the National Assembly, reporter Lee Jun-yeop!

The ruling party, which was negative about participating in the consultative body, turned to participate, right?

[Reporter]
Kwon Sung-dong, acting chairman and floor leader of the People's Power Party, said yesterday that he would participate in the ruling and opposition parties' consultative body to discuss people's livelihoods and security.

On the 15th, it has been five days since Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, officially proposed the launch of the "National Political Stability Consultative Body."

However, acting Kwon stressed that he accepted the proposal made by National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik, not the Democratic Party's proposal.

Discussions on the formation of a consultative body will begin soon, but some predict that a last-minute battle for leadership will be inevitable over the scope and operation of the consultative body.

A key People's Power official said in a call with YTN that the party's floor leaders, who have working-level authority on legislation and policy, are likely to go with the speaker.

On the other hand, a Democratic Party official said that since the official negotiation table has not yet been held, it plans to listen to the ruling party's position and make a judgment.

In response, Chairman Woo believes that the top priority is for the ruling and opposition parties to join hands, and that the form of a consultative body can be flexibly taken.

In the consultative body, there is a possibility that six bills, including the Yanggok Act, that acting President Han Deok-soo exercised his right to demand reconsideration, or veto, the appointment of ministers of the Ministry of National Defense and the Public Administration and Security, and the creation of an additional budget will be on the main agenda.

In the meantime, the People's Power Emergency Response Committee, which is expected to be announced early next week, is set to be a "two-top" system in which the new emergency committee chairman shares his authority with floor leader Kwon Sung-dong.

In a phone call with YTN, a key official in the People's Power Party said that there are many "one-top" opinions in which acting Kwon heads the emergency committee, but in this case, there are many voices concerned about the overload of work.

The Democratic Party continues to put pressure on acting Han Deok-soo, right?

Yes, the demand is that acting Han Deok-soo should accept the general independent counsel law for rebellion and the independent counsel law for Kim Gun-hee, and appoint a candidate for a constitutional judge for the National Assembly as soon as he recommends it.

The Democratic Party of Korea said it would not wait until the 31st, when the veto of the two major independent counsel laws can be exercised, and urged it to be promulgated quickly.

Citing the possibility of acting Han's "preemptive impeachment," he held a condemnation contest and criticized the exercise of veto power on six issues, including the Grain Act.

The Democratic Party of Korea is also focusing on the process of confirming the constitutional judge's candidate for the National Assembly, including a two-day confirmation hearing from the 23rd.

The position is that three constitutional judges should be sworn in in in a hurry to hear the impeachment trial of President Yoon Suk Yeol in the nine-member Constitutional Court,
Representative Lee Jae-myung,
has set the day for Han, "If you don't appoint a constitutional judge, it's an act of rebellion in itself."

So far, I've delivered it to you by the National Assembly.
