Park met with reporters and criticized the people's power for saying they could not yield anything except to revise the number of people recommended by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in their special prosecution.

negotiations, the Democratic Party of Korea will hold a general meeting of lawmakers to discuss whether to vote before midnight today by putting the previously proposed independent counsel bill co-sponsored by the opposition party to the plenary session.
