Over the weekend, the people's power is speeding up its own discussion of the bill by preparing for the tentatively named "Extraordinary Special Prosecutor Act."

In addition, the Democratic Party of Korea repeatedly pressed the opposition party to pass the Insurrection Special Counsel Act, which was reissued by the opposition party, saying that the ruling party is actually creating a "cancellation law" that reduces the scope of the investigation.

The ruling party countered the opposition's pressure on the opposition party, which proposed a timetable for handling the re-announcement of the independent counsel law, by preparing for discussions on its own amendments, which is tentatively called the "Gyeom Special Counsel Act."

The plan is to focus on the scope of the investigation from the declaration of emergency martial law to the lifting of the law, and to discuss the deletion of "foreign exchange crimes" included in the opposition special counsel law at the general meeting of lawmakers on the 13th.

[Park Soo-min / People's Power Floor Spokesperson: We will hold a general meeting of lawmakers to see how we will respond, including keeping the discussion open (self-individual counsel bill). More important than a third-party special prosecutor is a constitutional special prosecutor.

In addition to concerns that the opposition party cannot continue to be dragged around by the independent counsel's offensive, it is interpreted that the push for negotiations with the Democratic Party through its own independent counsel law could serve as a justification for preventing the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's excessive attempt to arrest President Yoon.

However, internal doubts about the special prosecution itself, such as concerns about the leakage of the details of the investigation, which borrowed the form of a separate investigation or briefing, are troubling aspects.

The Democratic Party of Korea set the day that the ruling party's discussion of its own independent counsel law is nothing more than a "delay strategy."

The reintroduced civil war has made it clear that it will remain unchanged in its position to deal with the independent counsel law at the plenary session on the 14th and 16th at the latest.

[Kang Yoo-jung / Minjoo Party's floor spokesman: The independent counsel law for civil war proposed by the Democratic Party revealed part of the contents of the independent counsel law, which had been called "unconstitutional." It's not the independent counsel's law, it's a law to cover up civil war.

Analysts say that such a hard-line drive and the issue of the right to recommend special prosecutors were handed over to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, or a third party, and that the opposition party also excluded the right to veto candidate Churin.It is read as an intention to increase the level of pressure for cooperation in the handling of the special prosecution to the maximum by handing the ball over to the ruling party and Acting President Choi Sang-mok amid the position that

has been done enough.

It is true that the martial law-insurrection independent counsel law, which the ruling and opposition parties envision, has wide differences in opinions from its name to the scope and content of the investigation and the timetable for the independent counsel's implementation.

Many observers say that it will not be easy to find a point of contact as the political situation is likely to freeze further, such as the execution of presidential arrest warrants and the impeachment trial.
