The emergency martial law has been lifted, but the impact on politics is unlikely to be measured.

Currently, both the ruling and opposition parties are struggling with future responses, such as holding an emergency general meeting of lawmakers, but the Democratic Party has taken out a card to impeach the president.

The power of the people demanded the immediate dismissal of the Minister of National Defense.

The leadership is expected to set a final policy after the emergency general meeting of lawmakers.

The Democratic Party called for the president's voluntary resignation in a resolution.

This declaration of emergency martial law, which does not comply with any requirements, is a serious violation of the constitution and law and is an act of rebellion.

At the same time, he said he would start impeachment proceedings if he did not step down on his own.

Floor spokesman Kang Yoo-jung met with reporters after the National Assembly and explained that if the impeachment bill is rushed as much as possible, it can be proposed today, seen tomorrow, and voted on 24 hours later.

At the general assembly, about 15 lawmakers spoke, and representative Lee Jae-myung is also known to have said, "Democracy is strong and the people are strong."

Originally, the plenary session of the National Assembly was supposed to be held at 2 p.m. today.

A vote on the impeachment of the chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection and three prosecutors, which the Democratic Party is pushing for, was scheduled to postpone it and focus on the impeachment process of the president.

In the afternoon, the National Assembly plans to hold an emergency meeting with party members.

Chairman Woo Won-sik said he has canceled all external schedules in connection with the incident and said he will wait in the National Assembly's office to watch the situation for the time being.
