PPP urges veto of special probe bill against Yoon; DP demands immediate approval

The rival parties are pressuring Acting President Choi Sang-mok over an opposition-led bill to launch a special counsel investigation into President Yoon's short-lived imposition of martial law.

The ruling PPP today urged Choi to veto the bill, criticizing it as overly broad and unnecessary, as most key figures, including Yoon, have already been arrested or indicted.

The main opposition DP, on the other hand, claimed that it has incorporated the PPP's demands, and called for immediate approval.

This follows the bill's passage at the National Assembly on Friday after failed negotiations between the parties.

Meanwhile, the acting president is reportedly reviewing the bill, noting that it's difficult to say whether it passed with a bipartisan agreement.
