The so-called overhaul bill that separates the prosecution's investigative powers and prosecution powers passed the National Assembly Judiciary Committee alone in the early morning of today (27th).

Amid strong opposition from the people, the Democratic Party decided to put the bill in the plenary session.

Let's go to Parliament.



Reporter Yoo Su-hwan and National Assembly Speaker Byeong-seok Park convened a plenary session at 5 pm, is it now held?



<Reporter>



Yes, the Speaker of the National Assembly has announced the convening of the National Assembly plenary session at 5 o'clock shortly after.



A bill to amend the Prosecutor's Office Act and the Criminal Procedure Act, the so-called 'Complete Inspection' bill, is scheduled to be introduced.



Ahead of the plenary session, both parties held a general assembly of members of the House of Representatives.



Now, after the general meeting of the House of Representatives, you can see them entering the main hall one after another.



Prior to the plenary session, there was a meeting between the floor leaders of both parties and National Assembly Speaker Park Byeong-seok, but the final arbitration failed.



National Assembly Speaker Park said that the leader of the assembly should consider the promises made in front of the people as heavy as gold, and he made the plenary session today.

What is the position of each party?



<Reporter>



In the process of passing the bill at the Judiciary Committee early this morning, there were loud and physical fights between lawmakers from the ruling and opposition parties.



The people are protesting by starting sit-ins from this morning, saying that the power of the people is the operation of the lawless parliament without debate or discussion.



When the plenary session begins, we plan to engage in a filibuster of legal obstruction of proceedings.



First of all, floor leader Kwon Seong-dong seems to be the first runner.



The Democratic Party said that it was the people's strength that broke the agreement between the ruling and opposition parties and said it was the last chance for prosecutorial reform.



In order to forcibly end the filibuster of the people's power, the consent of more than 180 lawmakers is required, and as the Justice Party, including six independent lawmakers from the Democratic Party, expressed their support for voting on the bill, it is possible to secure 185 seats.



This confrontation between the great rivers is expected to intensify as the plenary session proceeds.

Didn't President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol propose a referendum on this bill?

What is it?



<Reporter>



Yes, this is what Jang Je-won, the elected chief of staff, said in front of the transition committee a while ago.



He said he would propose to the elected person to hold a referendum on the 'check-and-run' bill together with the local elections in June.



Jang Je-won, the elected chief of staff, said he believes the current presidential decree will exercise the veto, but if the president nevertheless has a party with the Democratic Party, he will review the referendum legally and report it to the elected person.
