In the atmosphere of restraining political strife, the "special prosecutor and constitutional judge" still remains in the frame.

The aftermath of the martial law crisis is also intensifying as the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit conducts a compulsory investigation into the Yoon Suk Yeol president while the political circle is focusing on dealing with the plane disaster.

In the People's Power, apart from the apology of Kwon Young-se, chairman of the emergency committee, there was a mention that he would ask the "Civil War Special Counsel Act" to exercise his veto power, and the Democratic Party of Korea pressed the ruling party over the appointment of a constitutional judge, which is still vacant.

Two days before the deadline for promulgating the independent counsel and Kim Gun-hee's independent counsel law, which passed the National Assembly led by the opposition party, the People's Power made it official to propose a request for reconsideration to the government.

When the bill returns to the National Assembly, he is willing to renegotiate with the opposition party, so he will ask Acting President Choi Sang-mok for the necessary procedures.

Although he did not offer a specific alternative, he insisted that the ruling party's will should be reflected in the right to recommend the special counsel candidate or the scope of the investigation, which has been a problem.

The independent counsel refused, but also dismissed some compromises to accept the issue of recruiting constitutional judges, which led to the impeachment of Prime Minister Han Deok-soo.

The Democratic Party responded by saying, "The special prosecution cannot be subject to negotiation."

It is said that condemning the declaration of unconstitutional martial law as an independent investigation is important to establish national identity, and it is not a matter of political power.

The appointment of a constitutional judge to avoid procedural disputes in the impeachment trial is also a natural duty, and he stressed that acting Choi Sang-mok should follow the public sentiment.

However, as in the case of Prime Minister Han's impeachment, he did not set a separate deadline and maintained a wait-and-see stance to watch Choi's state affairs, including the settlement of the plane disaster.

The opposition's lending offensive seems to have eased for a while due to an unexpected disaster, but the political situation is unlikely to spiral again depending on whether acting Choi Sang-mok rejects the special prosecution.Along with securing the recruits of President

Yoon, the upcoming parliamentary investigation into martial law is also expected to be the detonator of a clash between the ruling and opposition parties.
