Political circles are fighting over the "Civil War Special Counsel Act," which the opposition party reissued a day after the abolition of the bill.
Discussions on related standing committees also began today, with the ruling party strongly criticizing it as a rough-and-ready legislation at the level of a "box split," and the Democratic Party of Korea did not budge, saying it reflected the ruling party's demands significantly.
I'm connecting you with a reporter from the National Assembly. Reporter Kim Dayeon!
First of all, please tell us in detail about the power of the people!
[Reporter]
A plenary session of the National Assembly Judiciary Committee was held in the morning, and the new independent counsel law proposed by the opposition party was handed over to the bill review subcommittee, and the process began in earnest.
In response, he expressed dissatisfaction, saying that the power of the people is a one-sided battle of speed by the opposition party.
Yoo Sang-beom, the ruling party secretary of the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee, appealed to the National Assembly to follow the deliberation period set by the National Assembly Act, saying, "Should we pursue a new bill a day after the bill was scrapped and start reviewing it right away?"
At the morning meeting, there was also a statement comparing the new bill to a 'box change', so let's listen to it for ourselves.
[Kwon Sung-dong / People's Power Floor Leader: The Democratic Party of Korea is doing well as if the special prosecution law was a great concession, but in reality, it is only a box-shifting special prosecution law that only changed the packaging. Of course, we cannot accept this special investigation law.]
The ruling party is paying attention to the fact that there are more targets for investigation than existing bills.
The propaganda and instigation of insurrection are also added to the investigation target, and the general public who commented on the article can also be subject to the investigation.
He also pointed out that the special prosecutor, which added an investigation clause on related complaints and accusations, is an "imperial special prosecutor" that will eventually catch all those who do not like the "Lee Jae-myung force."It is also problematic that the crime of
'foreign exchange', that is, the crime of secretly conspiring with foreign countries to threaten the existence of the state, was added.
Kwon Young-se, chairman of the emergency committee, refuted that if foreign exchange includes various defense drills against North Korea's provocations, it is a problem in itself, and the perception that North Korea is viewed as a foreign country is theoretically a big problem.
The ruling party is also considering issuing its own independent counsel law, but for now, Joo Jin-woo, the chairman of the legal advisory committee, is preparing the bill.
The plan is to hold a general meeting of lawmakers around next week and continue discussions, but there are few opinions within the party on whether it is necessary to add to the confusion due to the establishment of a special prosecutor when the investigation is underway by other agencies. It is unclear whether it will actually lead to the proposal.

The opposition party says it can't make any more concessions, right?
[Reporter]
As the ruling party demanded, it left the recommendation of candidates for special prosecution to a third party, not a political party, that is, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and the opposition party also removed the right to veto the recommendation of candidates.
The only thing that has changed is that the members of the ruling party think that they will be investigated indefinitely because they did a lot wrong.
There was also a rebuttal from the Judiciary Committee, where Rep. Park Beom-gye emphasized that the Democratic Party had already made "big concessions."
Chung Chung-rae, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, also admitted that the ruling party's argument that the meditation period should be observed is not very wrong, but
However, it is an extraordinary time for the whole nation to suffer from "insurgency insomnia" when President Yoon is arrested, and said it is important to stabilize the state affairs as soon as possible.
The Democratic Party continues to pressure the ruling party not only with the independent counsel for the rebellion, but also with the independent counsel for Kim Gun-hee and the independent counsel for Chae Sang-byung.
At the morning meeting, Park Chan-dae, the floor leader, argued that the Chae Sang-byung incident, the suspicion of intervening in the nomination of Myung Tae-kyun, and the emergency martial law incident were one body.With the revelation of
, he even made an inference that he even went to martial law to prevent the ugly bare face of President Yoon and his wife from being disclosed, so we will listen to it for ourselves.
[Park Chan-dae / Minjoo Party floor leader: Yoon Suk Yeol and Kim Gun-hee are the biggest risks in Korea. Investigation of Yoon Suk Yeol and Kim Gun-hee, the core bodies of the Marine Chae case, the Myung Tae-kyun case, and the December 3 emergency martial law, must be carried out.]

As the execution of the second arrest warrant for President Yoon approaches, related debates are heating up, right?
[Reporter]
The People's Power has repeatedly demanded that the investigative agency stop executing excessive warrants, saying that the purpose is not to reveal the charges of rebellion, but to risk their lives on arrest.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit does not have the ability or authority to investigate, and who is responsible for violence or mishaps.
Kwon Young-se, chairman of the emergency committee, stressed that it is time for a compromise as the president said he would comply with the arrest warrant and the ruling party is also considering a special prosecutor. Let's listen to the remarks.
[Kwon Young-se / People's Power Emergency Management Committee Chairman: It should be avoided that the president is handcuffed and dragged out of his home because it really undermines the dignity and national dignity of the country....]
In response, Rep. Park Ji-won of the Democratic Party sarcastically said on SNS, "Do you want me to pick up the kiln and drag it out?"He compared President
Yoon to a mouse in a jar and pointed out that it would be over if he walked out on his feet and was investigated.
[Park Ji-won / Rep. of the Democratic Party of Korea (BBS Radio's "New In-gyu's Morning Journal")] I think that if Acting Chief of Security Choi Sang-mok takes personnel action or excludes the head of security from his duties, the rat in the jar can be easily caught.]
The opposition party also continued to press for the expulsion of former lawmaker Kim Min, a member of the People's Power who arranged a National Assembly press conference for the Anti-Communist Youth Corps, a youth group that holds a rally to defend the president's residence.
