Six opposition parties, including the Democratic Party of Korea, have proposed the Insurrection Special Investigation Act, which has revised some of its contents.
Acting President Choi Sang-mok and the ruling party have decided to hand over the right to recommend the special prosecution to a third party, which the ruling party said would start discussing its own special prosecution law separately.
I'm connecting you with a reporter from the National Assembly. Reporter Park Kiwan!
First of all, what is included in the Insurrection Special Counsel Act proposed today?
[Reporter]
Yes, six opposition parties, including the Democratic Party of Korea, have just submitted the revised Insurrection Special Prosecutor Act to the National Assembly.
It has been a day since the independent counsel's law against insurrection was rejected by two votes in the plenary session's re-vote yesterday and finally abolished.
In this independent counsel law, a third party, not the opposition party, and the Supreme Court recommended the independent counsel.
The "opposition party's right to veto or re-recommend" clause, which allows the opposition to reject candidates for the special prosecution, has also been omitted.
It is interpreted as trying to pressure the acceptance of the special prosecution by removing the veto of Acting President Choi Sang-mok or the cause of the ruling party's opposition vote and stimulating the departure vote.
President Yoon's "foreign exchange crime" charge was added to the investigation to induce North Korea's military attack in the event of a civil war.
Apart from this, strong criticism continued against the power of the people over the rejection of the Insurrection Special Counsel Act at the plenary session yesterday.
Let's listen to it.
[Park Chan-dae / Floor Leader of the Democratic Party of Korea: It has been confirmed that they are a group that has no intention of protecting the constitutional order, democracy, and the rule of law. Like the destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, the power of the people is destined for destruction because there are no eight righteous men.
Regarding the rejection of the independent counsel law yesterday, the People's Power emphasized that the decision was made solely based on the spirit of the Constitution and the future of the country.
At the same time, he responded that he would discuss his own twin special prosecutors.
He said, "We should not engage in politics that threatens acting president Choi Sang-mok due to a series of impeachment efforts," and drew a line because he would not engage in negotiations out of fear.
Let's listen to it.
[Kwon Seong-dong / People's Power Floor Leader: People's Power will not negotiate out of fear. At the same time, we will not be afraid to discuss removing toxic clauses from the rejection bill. Let me begin an effective legislative discussion on the twin special prosecution law within the framework of the Constitution.]
In a phone call with YTN, a key official of People's Power said that the investigation of the Democratic Party's revised Insurrection Special Prosecutor Act is too broad and that it will be a special prosecutor for the destruction of conservatives.

Working-level consultations will also be held ahead of the launch of a state-run consultative body to calm the political turmoil?
[Reporter]
Yes, the ruling and opposition parties have been holding the first working-level consultation with the government and the chairman of the National Assembly since 11 o'clock.
It's a dimension that sets specific agendas.
Earlier, the Democratic Party of Korea insisted that an additional budget worth at least 20 trillion won should be included in the agenda of the national council.
On the other hand, the power of the people is that early budget execution takes precedence over supplementary budget,
Instead of
, they are confronting that the Special Act on Semiconductors and the Electricity Network Expansion Act, pension reform, and the establishment of a special constitutional amendment committee should be included.
Although the national affairs consultative body, which was almost canceled once, is about to be launched again, it is expected that it will be difficult to narrow differences from agendas such as supplementary budget and constitutional amendment.
Apart from this, the National Assembly will proceed with the grand government's question, which was postponed this afternoon due to the Jeju Air plane disaster.
In addition to the emergency martial law crisis, a wide range of inquiries are expected on various topics such as fact-finding of aviation disasters and economic crises.
However, some predict that the opposition party's massive offensive will be inevitable over the absence of Acting President Choi Sang-mok.
