As the Democratic Party announced that it would convene a plenary session at the extraordinary National Assembly in July, the confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties continues.
In the midst of this, internal struggles for leadership between the ruling and opposition parties are intensifying.
Connect with reporters from the National Assembly. Reporter Um Yoon-ju!
[기자]
Yes, Parliament.
[앵커]
Are the opposition parties having a tough battle over the negotiation of the original composition?
[기자]
Yes, the July special session of the National Assembly will start for 30 days from next month.
In fact, it seems that the Democratic Party will push for the sole election of the chairperson, but there is strong opposition, such as the power of the people entering the emergency standby system from the 1st of next month.
The People’s Power first predicted that if the Democratic Party held a plenary session on the 1st of next month, it would be illegal and a strong legal battle would be fought.
Let’s hear it for yourself.
[송언석 / 국민의힘 원내수석부대표 : 우리보고 뭐 민생 뺑소니라는 표현을 썼다고 하니까 정말 적반하장도 유분수다라고 생각하고 오히려 다수당의 위력으로써 7월 1일 본회의를 막무가내로 개최하겠다고 한다면 이거야말로 입법 폭주족의 근육 자랑에 불과한 거 아니냐….]
The Democrats are also on the offensive here, so let’s hear it for yourself.
[박홍근 / 더불어민주당 원내대표 : 선거 승리에 도취돼 민생의 고충에는 하나도 관심 없고 민심의 분노에 조금도 아랑곳하지 않는 오만함 그 자체입니다. 한마디로 집권 여당이 최근 보여준 모습은 민생 뺑소니입니다.]
Although the senior deputy representatives of the opposition and opposition parties are maintaining close contact with each other, it seems difficult to find a point of contact.
[앵커]
In the midst of this, a nerve war between CEO Lee Jun-seok and Rep. Ahn Cheol-soo has arisen once again, right?
[기자]
It started with the remarks made by Rep. Ahn Cheol-soo to CEO Lee Jun-seok in a broadcast interview the day before.
You mentioned that losing to yourself by more than 20%p in the 2016 general election could hurt President Lee,
Representative Lee immediately became furious, and Assemblyman Ahn did not respond to this. Let’s take a look at the nervous battle between the two.
[이준석 / 국민의힘 대표 : 안철수 의원이 2016년에 살고 계신 것 같습니다. 그런 것 평생 즐기십시오.]
[안철수 / 국민의힘 의원 : 지금 학회 공부하느라고 보도 아무것도 못 봤습니다.]
Representative Lee Jun-seok also claimed that someone was intentionally trying to cause a rift between the presidential office and the party in some reports that President Yun Seok-yeol had rejected his request for an interview.
In the midst of this, in the political circle, when Rep. Ahn Cheol-soo mentioned the Democratic Party lawmaker Lee Jae-myung at the ‘Lee Oh-hoe’, a meeting of the people’s power, the party association chairpersons in the metropolitan area, and an editorial information appeared suggesting a challenge to the party, lawmaker Ahn actively refuted.
I dismissed it as someone maliciously spreading lies, listen.
[안철수 / 국민의힘 의원 : 누군가가 악의적으로 시선을 자기들이 아니라 다른 쪽으로 모으기 위해서 악의적인 거짓말을 퍼트린 거죠. 어제 얘기는 다 함께 잘해보자는 것이지, 민주당 쪽에 대한 어떤 얘기도 나온 적이 없습니다. (당권 문제라든지 이재명 의원이라든지, 전혀 언급한 바가 없다는 말씀이십니까?) 전혀 없습니다.]
There are also interpretations that such remarks are aimed at the representative of Lee, who has a politically difficult relationship with him, and it is said that the representative also expressed an unpleasant reaction.
[앵커]
Look at the Democrats. Are you pressuring Rep. Jae-myung Lee not to run as powerful players within the party have announced that they will not run at the national convention?
[기자]
Yes, first of all, the pressure from within the party to not run for Rep. Lee Jae-myung, who has been silent on whether or not to run for the national convention, is growing stronger.
Rep. Seol-hoon pointed out that if Rep. Jae-myung Lee appears in the party representative election, there is too much potential for causing riots in the party.
Rep. Kim Min-seok, who revealed his challenge to the party, compared this member to BTS and argued that a pause and a period of maturation would be more helpful to him and the whole.
In the midst of this, as the first runner-up in the 97th generation in the Democratic Party, Rep. Kang Byung-won announced his candidacy at the national convention, and in the process, he also left a bone of remarks.
[강병원 / 더불어민주당 의원 : 이 상황에서 보다 무겁게 책임을 느끼고 져야 할 분이 있는 겁니다. 누군가는 대선과 지선 패배 책임을 져야 합니다. 그런 부분에서 책임 있고 무게감 느껴서 자기에게 오히려 성찰과 반성의 시간 가져야 할 분 있다고 생각합니다.]
It was aimed at Rep. Lee Jae-myung, and while lawmaker Lee continues to remain silent, following the proposal of the No. 1 bill yesterday, today, through SNS, he revealed that political reform is a party member’s order, and analysis is coming out that he has actually entered the process of running for office.
Until now, this is YTN Yunju Um in the National Assembly.
