Background of political irrationality?... "Because of impeachment offensive, special prosecutor's departure vote."

[Anchor]
President Yoon Suk Yeol declared emergency martial law in a surprise move even when the National Assembly's demand to lift martial law is clearly expected.

I don't know why, I'm interested in the background,
As there are signs of division in the ruling party ahead of the ruling party's re-decision on the Kim Special Prosecutor's Act in the wake of the opposition party's all-out offensive, including the impeachment of the chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection .

President Yoon Suk Yeol first took issue with the opposition's push for impeachment in an emergency special address to the nation.

The National Assembly's impeachment vote on Choi Hae-jin, the chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection, and Lee Chang-soo, the chief of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, was passed a day later, and the parties were expected to be suspended from their duties.

[Yoon Suk Yeol / President: Paralysing judicial affairs by impeaching prosecutors, and even the administration by impeaching the minister of the Interior and Safety, impeaching the head of the Communications Commission, impeaching the head of the Board of Audit and Inspection, and attempting to impeach the secretary of defense.]

After Representative Lee Jae-myung's acquittal in the first trial of perjury, the Democratic Party's omnidirectional offensive has dug into the blind spot.

President Yoon and his wife were targeted with a permanent special prosecutor that the president's veto could not exercise,
As the parliamentary investigation into the case of corporal corporal
was about to be launched, the embarrassment that there was no way to stop it grew in Yongsan.

Another background is the concern that there could be a vote of departure within the ruling party ahead of the third vote on the Kim Gun-hee independent counsel law on the 10th.

After the controversy over the party's bulletin board, there was an atmosphere that it was impossible to guarantee the rejection, especially among the close circle.

In the end, the opposition's strong offensive tightened and the numerous repeated Yoon-Han conflicts led to an uncontrollable situation, leading to an inference that it may have made an irrational move close to political self-harm.

With the opposition party occupying a majority of the lawmakers in the National Assembly, which is the constitutional standard for lifting martial law, it is unlikely that martial law will be lifted.

In the end, regardless of the background of the emergency martial law declaration and President Yoon's future response, strong public opinion about leadership and political responsibility following the first martial law declaration since democratization is not expected to be prevented.
