We are going to report on the Democratic Party’s proposal and decide whether we will accept the Democratic Party’s proposal, or if necessary, after seeing the investigation come to an end as we have been.

Previously, the Democratic Party revealed that if the people’s power agrees to adopt a plan for an investigation into state affairs at tomorrow’s plenary, the full-scale investigation into state affairs can be postponed after the bill budget be processed.

“Since data submission requests and these things usually take more than 10 days, and in light of precedents, it takes about 2 weeks at most, lawmakers agree to begin full-scale investigative activities after that…”

The power of the people, who initially argued that the state investigation was useless and decided to judge based on the results of the investigation, took a step back and said, “After processing the budget bill, we can discuss the investigation into state affairs, ” some of this proposal was accepted.

The ruling party cannot ignore the high public opinion in favor of the parliamentary inquiry, and it seems that the opposition has found room to compromise on the basis of the ruling that a joint investigation by the government i’ r opposition parties and the opposition parties more effectively.

But variables remain.

Opinions against the investigation into state affairs are still within the power of the people, and there are conflicting views on whether the president’s office should be included in the target of the investigation.

In addition, the three opposition parties hold the investigation period to two months, and the strength of the people demands that it be reduced to one month after processing the budget.

In order to hold the plenary meeting tomorrow, we need to finalize the constitution of the special committee today and proceed with procedures such as appointing a chairman and secretary.

The Democratic Party insists that if the people’s power decision is delayed, they will form a special committee among the three opposition parties to pass the government’s investigation plan.
