The impeachment motion of President Yoon Suk Yeol, reported to the plenary session of the National Assembly, is expected to be voted on the day after tomorrow (7th), the weekend.

The Democratic Party announced on that day that it would proceed with the impeachment bill and the re-vote of the "Kim Gun-hee Special Counsel Act."

Representative Han Dong-hoon made his opposition clear, saying he would prevent impeachment.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Jeong Inyong!The reaction between the ruling and opposition parties over the impeachment of President

Yoon seems to be sharply divided.

Please organize the positions of the ruling and opposition parties first.

[Reporter]
First of all, the power of the people has agreed to oppose impeachment with party theory.

Han Dong-hoon, who declined to give an immediate answer yesterday, said in a morning meeting that he would try not to pass the impeachment in order to prevent damage to the public and supporters caused by unprepared chaos.

He said he could not go back to before the emergency martial law, but he voiced his opinion that those who try to take power to avoid criminal charges should be prevented.

However, he once again called for President Yoon's defection, saying he was not trying to defend unconstitutional martial law, stressing that those who made the people nervous should be strictly responsible.

Military officials directly involved in the incident should be excluded from the post (as of today).]

Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho said, "I apologize for causing shock and concern to the public by declaring an emergency martial law, but strongly expressed his intention to reject the impeachment bill, saying that the abuse of impeachment encourages division and conflict of public opinion and paralyzes the function of the country."

On the other hand, Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the Democratic Party, said, "As Han Dong-hoon acknowledged, martial law is unconstitutional and illegal, and it is a ruinous idea and attitude for the people to oppose impeachment."

Representative Lee Jae-myung set the day that the emergency martial law was a coup d'état that completely destroyed all constitutional order and dreamed of the monarchy.

He also urged that the impeachment of President Yoon must be done, saying that it is the essence of martial law that he tried to take control of both legislative and judicial powers.

He also stressed to Han that even if the party wants to become one of the criminal groups against civil war, it is the party's responsibility to prevent it from happening.

He added that the responsibility and historical vocation given by the people should not be lost because of the safety of reality.

Then, when will the vote on President Yoon's impeachment be held?

[Reporter]
The Democratic Party plans to persuade National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik to vote on the impeachment bill around 7 p.m. the day after tomorrow.

On the same day, President Yoon also decided to push for a re-vote of the Kim Gun-hee Special Prosecutor's Act, which he exercised his right to demand reconsideration.

Initially, the re-vote of the first lady Kim's independent counsel law was scheduled for the 10th, but it seems that the people's power has pulled the timing of the vote in consideration of the possibility of not attending the vote on President Yoon's impeachment.

In this regard, Park Chan-dae, the floor leader, pointed out that we have to wait and see whether the ruling party will go out in the impeachment vote or whether it will hold out because it doesn't look good.

Regardless of attendance, the president's impeachment motion is approved by more than two-thirds of the 300 lawmakers.

However, if more than two-thirds of the "attendance" lawmakers approve the special prosecution law, it can be voted on only by opposition lawmakers if ruling party lawmakers do not participate in the vote.

In the midst of this, the impeachment motion, including the chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection Choi Sang-soo and the head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, was also passed at today's plenary session, and both were suspended from their duties.

People's Power protested and held a condemnation contest, accusing the Democratic Party of shaking the government endlessly by making bulletproofs with legislation, retaliating with impeachment, and threatening with a special prosecutor.

Today, the National Assembly is also holding urgent questions about emergency martial law.

Please also explain the relevant information.

[Reporter]
The National Defense Commission and the Public Administration and Security Commission are holding urgent questions to question the circumstances of President Yoon's emergency martial law.

The National Defense Commission was attended by Army Chief of Staff Park An-soo, who was appointed as martial law commander.

At the meeting, the opposition party questioned President Park on how the martial law decree was written, which stipulated a ban on political activities.

President Park suggested that he would have to review the decree legally, but he blamed Kim for saying that former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun had completed the review.

Regarding the order to send the military to the National Assembly, he said he knew from the media reports, and Vice Defense Minister Kim Sun-ho said it was done by former Minister Kim Yong-hyun.

When asked about the author of the martial law document, he claimed that the author could not be identified and that the Ministry of National Defense did not.

Former Minister Kim Yong-hyun offered to resign to President Yoon yesterday (4th), and the president accepted it and did not appear at today's meeting, but suspicions were also raised about his attempt to leave the country.

As a result, the possibility of Minister Kim's escape abroad has emerged as a key issue in the National Security Commission.

The opposition party said it demanded that Woo Jong-soo, the head of the Noodles Division, be banned from leaving the country, and Woo ordered the head of the security investigation team to take action as soon as possible.

The police also received and distributed charges against the president's rebellion, stressing that they will deal with it quickly in accordance with the set laws and procedures.

The opposition party questioned Minister of Public Administration and Security Lee Sang-min about the situation before and after the emergency martial law cabinet meeting.

Minister Lee explained that it is disrespectful to reveal it yourself, saying in the minutes whether the members of the State Council voted for or against martial law.

He also explained that no one has clearly expressed the pros and cons, but the use of the term "opposite" is a couple of minutes.

In addition, Kim Yong-bin, secretary-general of the NEC, attended the Central Election Commission, where martial law forces entered in addition to the National Assembly, and Secretary-General Kim replied that he did not know why he came to the NEC.

This is YTN Jeong Yong-yong in the National Assembly so far.
