Both the ruling and opposition parties said they visited the accident area today, what kind of stories were exchanged?
[Reporter]
Yes, Kwon Sung-dong, floor leader of the People's Power, visited the accident site at Muan International Airport in Jeollanam-do with the members of the party's accident settlement TF.
At the meeting, floor leader Kwon bowed his head, saying, "Something that shouldn't have happened has happened and it's terrible," and "I sincerely apologize to the bereaved family and the people."
At the same time, he emphasized that he would make every effort to resolve the situation and find out the truth. Let's listen to it.
[Kwon Seong-dong / People's Power Floor Leader: We will do our best to heal your hearts as much as we can. We will work together to ensure that this can be settled well during the national mourning period.]
Kwon Young-se, chairman of the emergency committee, who was finally elected by the National Committee's vote a little while ago, also visited Muan Airport as his first schedule, skipping the inauguration ceremony.
Chairman Kwon said that no words will be comforting, and that he will cooperate with the government to serve the victims well even on the last path.
The Democratic Party held an on-site supreme council meeting at the Jeonnam Provincial Party located in Muan-gun.
Representative Lee Jae-myung said he hoped that at least one more person would be rescued by the last minute, but it was a very sad disaster.
He then stressed that the party will do everything it can, saying that dealing with the accident is the top priority now.Let's listen to
[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party leader: We will actively cooperate with the central government, Jeonnam Province, and Gwangju City. We will do our best to help the (party) task force stay on site and provide the specific help the victims' families need...]
After the meeting, the Democratic Party of Korea, which also paid tribute to the joint memorial altar, said it would take necessary measures, such as identifying the cause and punishing those responsible, focusing on the National Assembly's standing committee, as soon as the accident is resolved.
National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik discussed the disaster support plan with Acting President Choi Sang-mok, who visited the National Assembly as a precaution, and in the afternoon, he visited the scene of the disaster to commemorate the victims and comfort the bereaved families.

I'll also look into the state of the National Assembly.
It seems that the political dispute has stopped for a while and has started to catch its breath, but the so-called twin special prosecutors and the appointment of constitutional judges still remain?
[Reporter]
Yes, first of all, all pending questions about martial law at the standing committee, including the National Assembly Steering Committee, which were scheduled today, have been postponed.
The purpose is to help the government focus on dealing with the Jeju Air passenger plane disaster.
However, the independent counsel for the rebellion and the independent counsel for Kim Gun-hee, whose deadline for requesting reconsideration is the day after tomorrow (1st), remain the detonator of the conflict between the ruling and opposition parties.
If Acting President Choi Sang-mok expresses his demand for reconsideration, that is, his veto, the opposition party is expected to tighten the reins of the offensive again.
In a radio interview, Park Sung-joon, the deputy floor leader of the Democratic Party, urged acting Choi to accept an independent counsel for rebellion for a proper investigation, as the martial law scandal involves the country's highest authority.
He also stressed that it is also Choi's natural duty to appoint three constitutional judges recommended by the National Assembly for the procedural composition of the impeachment trial called the "nine-member constitutional judge system."
However, he said he would not set a deadline for appointment, but it seems to reflect public opinion inside and outside the party that should prioritize dealing with the disaster over the impeachment offensive.
On the other hand, the power of the people opposes both the so-called Bilateral Special Prosecutors Act and the appointment of constitutional judges.
In a radio interview, Park Hyung-soo, the deputy floor leader, predicted that Choi would exercise his right to request a reconsideration, saying that he would be well aware of the unconstitutionality of the two special prosecutors because he has participated in the cabinet meeting.
However, he added that he was willing to negotiate with the opposition in the direction of removing the unconstitutional provisions.
Regarding the appointment of a constitutional judge, he reiterated that the appointment authority comes from the position of the head of state, not the head of the administration, and therefore cannot be done by the acting president.
He dismissed the compromise between the "refusal of bilateral special prosecutors, appointment of constitutional judges" raised by some, saying that there was no discussion within the party and that he had not requested acting Choi.
In the meantime, Kwon Young-se, chairman of the emergency committee, expressed his first official position in his written inauguration speech that he deeply apologized for causing concern over the emergency martial law and the impeachment of the president.
