The independent counsel's discussion to independently investigate President Yoon Suk Yeol's allegations of civil war has been in pain.

The ruling party protested that the revision of the independent counsel law passed by the opposition party would bring about a "insurrection of independent counsel Lee Jae-myung," while the Democratic Party of Korea turned its arrow to Acting President Choi Sang-mok and pressed him to accept the bill.

The People's Power accused the Democratic Party of passing the amendment to the Insurrection Special Prosecutor Act as an eye trick that disturbs the people.

Although the charges of propaganda and instigation of foreign exchange and civil war were excluded from the investigation, they left open the possibility of a separate investigation by allowing the investigation of all cases recognized during the investigation.

He said he intended to conduct a second "red tape investigation" targeting the conservative camp, claiming that if it is implemented as it is, a "special prosecutor rebellion" will take place.

The Democratic Party of Korea criticized that the power of the people is still playing tricks even though it has largely accepted the demand to reduce the subject, size, and duration of the investigation.

Acting Chief Justice Choi Sang-mok also handed over the right to recommend the independent counsel, which he had previously used as a justification for requesting reconsideration, to a third party, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and pointed out that it is the authority to reject it again.

[Park Chan-dae / Floor Leader of the Democratic Party (17th): Acting President Choi Sang-mok will urge you to accept and announce it immediately. Respecting the legislative power of the National Assembly is to protect the constitutional spirit of the separation of powers.

The ruling party asked the ruling party to cooperate with the launch of the independent counsel unless it protects the civil war, and did not leave out a message to stimulate the departure vote in preparation for the re-vote of the National Assembly following the exercise of the veto.

Considering that lawmakers from the ruling and opposition parties attend the inauguration of U.S. President Trump and the subsequent Lunar New Year holidays, the National Assembly's resolution of the special prosecution law is expected to be possible next month at the earliest.

Even if the ruling party votes to leave are passed, the special prosecutor's office may be useless if the investigation by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the prosecution is at the end.
