As President Yoon Suk Yeol announced that he would attend the impeachment trial of the Constitutional Court in person, politicians are also closely watching the situation of the Constitutional Court.

The People's Power established that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's attempt to force President Yoon to arrest him was an act of interfering with the impeachment trial,
In addition, the DUP warned that it hoped it would not lead to acts of provoking rioters or supporters.

I'm connecting with the National Assembly reporter, reporter Lim Sung-jae!

Please tell us the atmosphere of the ruling and opposition parties in detail!

[Reporter]
The People's Power has voiced criticism, saying that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's attempt to force President Yoon to arrest him could affect the impeachment trial.

In a morning meeting, floor leader Kwon Sung-dong argued that if the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is forced to recruit President Yoon, it will inevitably lead to obstruction of the impeachment trial.

Let's hear the related remarks.

[Kwon Seong-dong / People's Power Floor Leader: It's hard to understand how the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit does this, it's not just a practical benefit of the investigation, but it's just a disgrace to the president after all.]

The Constitutional Court, which was in charge of the impeachment trial, raised its voice to resolve doubts over the relationship between Moon Hyung-bae, the acting chief justice of the Constitutional Court, and Lee Jae-myung, the representative of the Democratic Party.

In particular, the two argued that it was a deep story in the legal profession that they were close enough to be "hung-ho" as colleagues of the Judicial Research and Training Institute in the past.

At the same time, acting president Moon, a close friend of representative Lee, asked if he would be qualified to handle the impeachment trial.

The Democratic Party of Korea warned that President Yoon does not want to appear at the Constitutional Court and provoke mobs or supporters.

In particular, Cho Seung-rae, a senior spokesman, criticized President Yoon's attendance in a radio interview, saying that it was nothing short of "buying time" to avoid being investigated by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.Let's listen to the remarks of the chief spokesman of Article

.

[Cho Seung-rae / Senior Spokesperson for the Minjoo Party of Korea (KBS Radio's 'Absolute Shooting'): There is one thing that you want to unite by showing your face to your supporters. Second, if that happens, you don't have to be investigated by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, right?]

{President Yoon's refusal to comply with the investigation into the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit asked if the suspect of rebellion could shop at the investigation agency.

The Democratic Party also left a warning message to the prosecution, which rejected the police's request for an arrest warrant for Kim Sung-hoon, deputy chief of the security service, in connection with the investigation into the alleged rebellion.

Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the prosecution, has set the day that if the prosecution is trying to roughly cover up the rebellion investigation, the prosecution will be doomed to disappear like a powder.

The impeachment trial and investigation are relatively speeding up, but there is still a gap between the ruling and opposition parties in the Insurrection Special Counsel Act, right?

[Reporter]
First of all, today's Cabinet meeting did not introduce the "Civil War Special Counsel Bill," which passed the plenary session of the National Assembly led by the opposition party on the 17th.

The people's power is a position that we should calmly consider what the special prosecutor means at this point.

The logic is that if the prosecution hands over President Yoon to trial after the investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, the special prosecutor will in fact have no choice but to review the existing investigation or re-investigate the allegations of the surrounding areas.

Let's hear the related remarks.

[Lee Yang-soo / Secretary-General of People's Power: The Democratic Party is sufficient to raise suspicions that it is pushing ahead with a special prosecutor to use it politically in the event of an early presidential election]

A key floor official said he has already demanded acting President Choi Sang-mok exercise his right to demand reconsideration, adding that it is now up to the government.

The Democratic Party, however, is pressuring Acting President Choi to immediately promulgate the Insurrection Special Counsel Act.

Let's hear the related remarks.

[Kim Yong-min / Deputy floor policy leader of the main opposition Minjoo Party: Except that the acting president cannot veto it, the acting president Choi Sang-mok cannot reject the independent counsel law because he is the subject of the investigation. It's a conflict of interest.]

Park Sung-joon, deputy floor leader, predicted in a radio interview that it would be difficult to veto any more as the opposition party has largely accepted the government's request for reconsideration.

However, it was analyzed that the probability of acting Choi making a request for reconsideration is still "50 to 50."

However, internally, as President Yoon is arrested, it is also read that prosecution prosecution, which is expected to be early next month, should be considered.

An official said in a phone call with YTN, "The special prosecutor also has an expiration date," and expressed concern that it could be virtually useless if President Yoon is put on trial without the special prosecutor law being promulgated.

So far, I'm YTN Lim Sungjae in the National Assembly.
