The ruling and opposition parties agreed to form a "consultative body" to deal with the impeachment situation, but they disagree over the specific method.

The People's Power continues to struggle over the selection of the new emergency committee chairman, and it is expected to announce a specific person as early as tomorrow.

Let's connect with the National Assembly reporter to find out more.

Reporter Hong Min Gi! Is there any strand in the composition of the ruling-opposition consultative body?

[Reporter]
There is no clear outline between the ruling and opposition parties yet.

Today, Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the Democratic Party, and Kwon Sung-dong, the acting leader of the People's Power Party, will hold a press conference and a luncheon for reporters, respectively, where more detailed explanations are expected.

Earlier, the formation of the consultative body began to accelerate last week when acting authority Kwon announced his intention to participate in the ruling and opposition parties' government consultative body.

However, acting Kwon is in the position that it should be composed of a four-way consultative body involving National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik, acting President Han Deok-soo, and four floor leaders of the ruling and opposition parties.

In order to achieve practical results such as legislation, the floor leader, not the representative of each party, should participate, but it is also read as an intention not to lose the leadership of the political situation to Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party.

On the other hand, the Democratic Party of Korea is in a position to respond after receiving specific proposals from the ruling party,

proposed a state affairs stability consultative body himself, he may not back down, saying that the participation of the party leader should not be excluded.

Chairman Woo believes that it is important for the ruling and opposition parties to meet and hold hands, whether they are representatives or floor leaders, but some predict that the ruling and opposition parties could reach a point of contact as early as this week due to Woo's mediation after coordination.

Once the consultative body is in operation, discussions are expected to take place on the appointment of ministers of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security and Defense, along with controversial bills such as the Grain Management Act, which recently exercised the right to demand reconsideration by acting Han Deok-soo.

Yes, the power of the people is struggling with the appointment of the emergency committee chairman, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, in the party, the prevailing opinion is that acting Kwon prefers a "two-top system" in which he does not concurrently serve as the chairman of the emergency committee, and a five-term senior member with experience is considered a leading candidate.

Specifically, lawmakers Kwon Young-se and Na Kyung-won are mentioned, and as most of them have expressed their intention to "oppose impeachment," there is a concern that the so-called "road pro-yoon party" image will remain a political burden.

Some in the ruling party are mentioning former lawmaker Yoo Seung Min, who has consistently criticized the party before and after the impeachment, as a "rescue pitcher."

Acting President Kwon Sung-dong plans to hold a general meeting of lawmakers as early as this week and announce the chairman of the emergency committee.
