Within the ruling party, '23 people'... has doubled from 'Yes to disclosure'

It seems that as many as 23 members of the People's Power Party did not follow the "anti-impeachment" party theory during the voting process for President Yoon's impeachment.

It seems that the number of members of the People's Power, which had previously publicly predicted a vote in favor of impeachment, has increased.

A total of 204 lawmakers approved the impeachment motion of President Yoon, which was voted on by the National Assembly.

It was an anonymous vote, so unless you reveal it yourself, you have no choice but to guess who voted and how.

However, if 192 people from the pan-night region, including the Democratic Party, voted "properly," at least 12 people from the ruling party, the People's Power, also agreed.

There were seven members of the People's Power who publicly expressed their intention to vote in favor of it earlier, but the number of votes in favor almost doubled in the actual vote.

If you consider three abstentions and eight invalid votes, in fact, 23 people can be seen as a leave vote for the ruling party.

It is interpreted that the vote, which was burdensome to actively violate the "anti-impeachment" party theory by voting in favor, was abstained or invalidated.

As representative Han Dong-hoon has repeatedly appealed for a vote in favor, some analysts say that the departure vote can be viewed as a "pro-Korea Dong-hoon system."

[Han Dong-hoon / Representative of the People's Power: Today, we should all think about the Republic of Korea and the people of the Republic of Korea. I'll do the same.]

The ruling party, which holds the key to the impeachment resolution, eventually led to a number of departure votes, and the extreme internal strife of the conservative party, which is facing impeachment again in eight years, seems inevitable.
