The People's Power decided to propose its own independent counsel bill against the opposition's "insurrection independent counsel law," excluding foreign exchange charges and propaganda and instigation of civil war.

The plan is to remove toxic provisions from the opposition special prosecutor's bill and reduce the size and duration of the investigation, but the Democratic Party of Korea said it will be possible to discuss it only when a specific bill is proposed.

The power of the people, who defined the opposition's "insurrection independent counsel law" as an unconstitutional evil law, has officially declared that they will come up with their own independent counsel bill that contains toxic provisions.In the independent counsel law co-sponsored by the six parties

, the charges of propaganda and agitation of foreign exchange and civil war, and the case of accusations and accusations related to the Democratic Party of Korea have been excluded.·

The name of the bill also explained that it will be purified to a martial law special prosecutor, not a civil war, in order to prevent the conviction.

The special prosecutor's recommendation method has also expanded the recommendation to the head of the court administration and the president of Korean law professors in the existing opposition bill that gives the chief justice the right to recommend.

The investigation period and manpower will be reduced, and media briefings that have raised concerns about "public opinion" based on the suspected facts will also be limited.

[Kwon Seong-dong / People's Power Floor Leader: We can never accept the anti-constitutional civil war and foreign exchange independent counsel law of the Democratic Party. It has decided to propose its own emergency martial law independent counsel law that removes unconstitutional elements.]

The ruling party, which has been negative about the independent counsel all the time, devised its own bill, and the prevailing analysis is that the intention not to be dragged into the Democratic Party's offensive anymore influenced it.

On top of that, some observers say that if only eight members of the ruling party vote in favor of the re-vote, it is a desperate measure to prevent the worst as the independent counsel law initiated by the opposition party passes.

The Democratic Party, which took over the ball from the ruling party, pointed out that the proposal of the special prosecution bill, not words, is a prerequisite for the start of the consultation.

The sooner the bill is proposed, the faster the discussion will be, and the ruling party pressed for a quick implementation of the bill, saying it is possible to pass the plenary session on the 16th.

At the same time, he reiterated that the motion of the ruling party of the special prosecution law should not be a "time drag" strategy.

[Kang Yoo-jung / Minjoo Party's floor spokesman: There is no proper proposal yet. It's a kind of proposal for an independent counsel, but it can be discussed after it is proposed as a bill, not in words.]

Some cite the possibility of an agreement in the form of excluding "foreign exchange crimes", but there are many observations that negotiations will not be easy because there is a large disagreement over the subject of the investigation as well as the duration and operation of the investigation.
