The Democratic Party entered the process of enforcing a bill that would remove the prosecution's investigative powers.
We started reviewing the bill a while ago, and we will connect with a reporter from the National Assembly for more details.
Reporter Minwoo Kang, please explain what kind of meeting is going on right now.
<Reporter>
Yes, from about 7:30 a little while ago, the first subcommittee of the bill review is in progress in the meeting room of the Legislative and Judiciary Committee of the National Assembly behind me.
The Democratic Party has begun reviewing a bill to separate the prosecution's investigation and prosecution rights proposed by all members of its lawmakers.
People's Power lawmakers also attended the meeting, but they are protesting that there is a problem with the procedure and the decision to refer the bill directly to the second lieutenant without the secretariat's agreement without bringing it to the plenary session.
Initially, the ruling and opposition parties were scheduled to hold a plenary meeting of the Judiciary Committee today (18th) to hear the position of Prosecutor General Kim Oh-soo on the 'examination and overhaul' bill.
However, the meeting was canceled because President Kim, who expressed his resignation, decided not to attend, and this afternoon, 1st Lieutenant Chairman Park Jumin, a member of the Democratic Party, convened an emergency call at 7 pm.
The people are protesting that the power of the people is a dangerous legislative monopoly, but 5 of the so-called Democrats are the Democrats.

Didn't the opposition parties continue to clash over the bill even before the meeting started?
<Reporter>
Yes, the Democratic Party and the power of the people were arguing all day long.

[Kwon Seong-dong/People’s Power Floor Leader: The Democratic Party must immediately stop monopolizing anti-constitutional legislation, which promises to shake up the national judicial system to protect Moon Jae-in and Lee Jae-myung.]
After the inauguration of Yoon Seok-yeol, the Democratic Party’s veto power is exercised They say that it can be done, and they are of the position that the second lieutenant should pass the bill even today in order to process it in the National Assembly in April. Conflict seems inevitable.
