[Anchor]
In the power of the people, controversy continues over the "recommendation to leave the party" against Rep. Kim Sang-wook, who has opposed the party's theory in the re-vote of the independent counsel against the rebellion.

Rep. Kim maintains his intention not to leave the party, but the negative view within the party has not abated.

Reporter Lim Sung-jae's report.

Rep. Kim Sang-wook, who was invited to leave the party by floor leader Kwon Sung-dong, made it clear that he would remain in the party in favor of the independent counsel for the rebellion and the independent counsel law for Kim.It is true that

{Nullity} did not follow the party's theory, but more importantly, he raised his voice to keep the conservative values that the party aims for.

[Kim Sang-wook / People's Power: We should not leave the party because we are pursuing the values of the party even though it is a small number, but we should continue to make efforts to remain in the party and keep the party on the right path, that's what I believe]

However, the party leadership is maintaining a cold look at lawmaker Kim, such as receiving a request for resignation from the National Assembly's Public Administration and Security Committee.Although each member of the

is a constitutional institution, the logic is that if you oppose the 'party theory' that is the result of collective intelligence, you cannot join in reality.

[Kim Sang-hoon / Chairman of the People's Power Policy Committee (KBS Radio's 'Absolute Attack') : (What floor leader Kwon Sung-dong said is that it is not necessary to engage in political activities out of people's power or to defect from the party and engage in political activities as they want.]

This is why there are many cynical reactions that Rep. Kim may shine right now, but it will not last long,
Some advocates say that lawmakers
have the freedom to vote according to the Constitution and conscience.

The Democratic Party of Korea has raised the pressure level by saying that the "pro-special prosecutor" such as Representative Kim is a minority in the ruling party.

, 'opposition to the special prosecutor' was defined as assistance and support for the rebellion, and more than 100 members of the People's Power criticized the re-voting as taking the lead in the 'second civil war'.

[Lee Jae-myung / Minjoo Party leader: Why is this possible? Because even if you commit this anti-democratic, anti-national, and treasonous act, you can become a member of Congress again.]

It is criticized that it focuses only on preserving the position of "members of the National Assembly" by catering to the taste of strong supporters, but it is interpreted as a statement that actually targeted lawmakers in the Yeongnam region, which occupies the majority in the ruling party.

Some analysts say that Kim Sang-wook's recommendation to leave the party is also related to the pressure on other lawmakers who are believed to have voted in favor of the re-vote of the two special prosecutors,
Some criticize that the ruling party, which has criticized the 'one-pole system' of the
Democratic Party, is somewhat inconsistent.
