[Anchor]
The National Assembly will hold a plenary session to vote on the second impeachment motion of President Yoon proposed by six opposition parties.

The standard for determining approval or rejection is 200 people, and the results vary depending on whether or not more than eight ruling party votes are cast.

I'll connect you to the plenary session room.

[Woo Won-sik / Speaker of the National Assembly]
South Korea is now standing on the road. I'm worried about which way to go. But the road is always in the people. That is the history of the Republic of Korea. So, Korea is strong. The weight of the ballots that Members will accept today is heavier than ever. It's the weight of history, it's the weight of democracy.

I hope every single one of you will participate in the vote. Paragraph 1 of the agenda The impeachment motion of the presidential Yoon Suk Yeol is proposed. Representative Park Chan-dae, please come out and explain the proposal on this agenda.

[PARK CHANDA / Minjoo Party floor leader]
My fellow citizens. National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik and his senior colleagues. I'm Park Chan-dae, floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea. December 3, 2024, 22:30 p.m. The Constitution of the Republic of Korea was violated. The heart of democracy has stopped.

But our people didn't miss the golden time. At the end of the month in front of the National Assembly, he ran out and blocked the martial law vehicle with his bare body. I helped lawmakers and aides enter the National Assembly in protest of the police who blocked the National Assembly.

I would like to express my respect and gratitude to everyone who gave me cardiopulmonary resuscitation to make the heart of democracy beat again. You are the main players who saved democracy and protected the Republic of Korea.

Novel Prize winner Han Kang said, "While preparing for the boy's coming, can the present help the past by reading the diary of a young night school teacher who was killed in Gwangju in May 1980. He realized that he had to reverse the question of whether the living could save the dead.

Can the past help the present? Can the dead be saved? I would like to answer yes to the question of whether the past can help the present during this 12.3 emergency civil war. Because May 1980 saved October 2024. On December 3, 2024, at 23:00, martial law command announced decree 1.

The contents of decree No. 1 are as follows. The following will be declared across the Republic of Korea as of 23:00 on December 3, 2024, to protect liberal democracy and protect the safety of the people from the threat of subversion of the Korean system by anti-state forces that are secretly weak inside the Republic of Korea.

1, prohibits all political activities, such as the activities of the National Assembly and local council parties and political association demonstrations. 2, It prohibits any act of denying or attempting to overthrow the liberal democratic system, and prohibits fake news, manipulation of public opinion, and false incitement. 3, All media and publications are controlled by martial law. 4, Strikes, neglecting, and assembly activities that promote social chaos are prohibited.

5, all medical personnel who are on strike or have left the medical field, including medical doctors, return to their main job within 48 hours and work faithfully, and in case of violation, they shall be punished under martial law. 6, Except for those who overthrow the system, such as anti-state forces, the good general public takes measures to minimize inconvenience in daily life.

Violators of the above proclamation may be arrested, detained, or seized and searched without a warrant under Article 9 of the Martial Law of the Republic of Korea, and shall be punished by the penalties of Article 14 of the Martial Law. The same decree happened 44 years ago.

On the night of May 17, 1980, martial law command announced the following seven detailed measures through decree 10. A, All political activities shall be suspended and all indoor and outdoor rallies and demonstrations for political purposes shall be prohibited. A report shall be made to indoor and outdoor rallies that are not for the purpose of political activities. Exceptions are made for the

group intermarriage system and ceremonial non-political pure religious events, but no political remarks are permitted. B, Press publication reports and broadcasts are subject to pre-censorship. C, Universities will be closed for the time being. D, Any departure from work without justifiable reasons, or neglect and strike action are prohibited.

E, Fake and dissemination of scaremongering is prohibited. Even if it is not a scaremongering, defamation of the former and current heads of state, use and incitement of the same terms as the North Korean mob, and agitation of seditious remarks other than the purpose and disorderly order at public gatherings are not permitted.

F, It guarantees the freedom of the people's daily life and normal economic activities. G, Freedom of activities such as entry and exit of foreigners and domestic travel is guaranteed as much as possible. Anyone who violates this notification shall be arrested, detained, or searched without a warrant and severely punished. The decree of May 1980 and the decree of December 2024 looked like twins. The scaremongering has been replaced by fake news, manipulation of public opinion and false propaganda, but it bans political activities, controls media publishing, bans rallies, strikes and neglect, and says it will be punished for violations.

12.3 Gwangju came to mind in 1980 when I heard the announcement of the emergency martial law. At that time, martial law forces arrested, arrested, and detained thousands of Gwangju citizens under the pretext of martial law proclamation. They even carried out massacres. However, the media under the control of martial law forces did not report a single letter of the tragedy in Gwangju.

Gwangju citizens resisting for democracy were accused of being insensitive rioters. If the number of lawmakers who broke through a police blockade and jumped over the National Assembly fence were not enough for the citizens who rushed to the National Assembly in anger at Yoon Suk Yeol's emergency martial law on December 3, Korea would not have been different from Gwangju in May 1980 if martial law forces who stormed the National Assembly by helicopter had actively followed unfair orders.

Parliament would have been forcibly dissolved on the basis of the decree, and lawmakers would have been arrested by martial law forces and detained in unknown places. Some may have been tortured or driven into anti-state forces or subversive forces and executed.

Media companies are controlled by martial law forces, all reports are pre-censored, and not a single line of reports criticizing the government would have been aired. Journalists who oppose censorship would have been subject to punishment under the decree. Citizens who criticize the government or oppose martial law would have been arrested, detained without a warrant and convicted or executed in military court.

Doctors and doctors would have been punished for not returning to the hospital, deprived of their freedom of choice. This is the martial law that we know, the martial law that we actually went through. Gwangju led us in December 2024 in May 1980 when the dizzying emergency martial law was actually declared.

The courage of Gwangju citizens who confronted martial law forces 44 years ago in the face of isolation was the driving force behind our democracy that they tried to protect. The past helped the present, and the dead saved the living. The Republic of Korea, the democracy of the Republic of Korea, owes a lot to Gwangju.

Dear senior fellow Members. 12. 3 Emergency martial law is clearly unconstitutional and a grave violation of the law. It did not meet the procedures and requirements of the emergency martial law set by the Constitution and violated the lives and safety of the people, the existence and function of the state, national sovereignty, democracy and the rule of law, such as the crime of civil war, abuse of authority, and obstruction of special public affairs. Article 77 (1) of the Constitution stipulates the requirements of martial law when it is necessary to maintain public well-being and order as a military force in wartime, incident, or equivalent national emergency.

However, there was no war or incident or equivalent national emergency. Article 77 (4) of the Constitution, which states that the President must notify the National Assembly without delay when martial law is declared, was also not observed. The circumstances in which the emergency martial law was carefully planned and prepared for several months ago and sent drones to North Korea to induce North Korea's provocations and create an artificial war situation with filth balloons and strikes from the ground up show that the emergency martial law was clearly unconstitutional from the beginning.

Martial law forces and police paralyzed the function of the Constitutional Assembly and arrested the Constitutional Assembly members to block the decision to lift martial law. After the emergency martial law was declared, police blocked the National Assembly, preventing lawmakers and aides from entering the National Assembly.

Fully armed martial law forces were dispatched to the National Assembly to try to enter the plenary hall, and martial law forces carrying firearms broke the window of the National Assembly's main office and threatened parliamentary staff. Armed martial law forces and police seized the Central Election Commission building and training center, which oversees national election affairs, to control access, confiscate the phones of party officials, and photographed the unified electoral register system server.

The martial law operation involved the best North Korean operatives, and martial law forces searched for a place to imprison those to be arrested, and the Justice Department tried to set up a place to imprison politicians and journalists to be arrested. In other words, the Declaration of the Emergency Command on December 3 is not only unconstitutional and illegal, but also an act of rebellion by the President to use the military to seize the sovereignty of the people and seize not only administrative power but also legislative and judicial power.

Yoon Suk Yeol is the head of the civil war who led this civil war. The Yoon Suk Yeol called the commander of the Special Warfare Command and the commander of the Capital Defense Command to directly check the situation, ordered the arrest of lawmakers, and even reviewed unconstitutional and illegal proclamations. It seems that the decision quorum has not yet been filled by calling Special Warfare Commander Kwak Jong-geun on a non-fire phone.

He ordered to quickly break the door and take out the people inside, and called Hong Jang-won, the first deputy director of the National Intelligence Service, to take this opportunity to catch them all and organize them all, and ordered the arrest of politicians, former Supreme Court justices and former Supreme Court justices, legal professionals, broadcasters, and civil society figures.

He also delivered a document with the target institutions and people to be controlled by the police to the police chief. Honourable senior fellow Members. 12. 3. It is the responsibility of the National Assembly to straighten up the constitutional order that has collapsed due to the civil war. The Yoon Suk Yeol unleashed the December 3 emergency martial civil war, paralyzing the constitutional order.

Impeaching a Yoon Suk Yeol who destroyed the constitutional order is the way to restore the constitutional order. The National Assembly should suspend the duties of the Yoon Suk Yeol with the authority granted by the Constitution to restore the constitutional order. This is the fastest and most orderly way to deal with the emergency situation.

The Yoon Suk Yeol cannot perform its duties normally. As revealed in the Dec. 3 declaration of unconstitutionality and illegal emergency martial law and the 12th public statement, rational thinking and rational judgment are impossible due to extreme delusions.

If you don't immediately suspend your duties, you don't know what kind of reckless thing you'll do again. Suspension of duty right now is the way for the people and the country. Yoon Suk Yeol is the biggest risk in South Korea. 12. The civil war in the third emergency martial law shocked the nation's economy, diplomacy, security, and national prestige, and the crisis was further amplified when the impeachment failed last week.

If the impeachment bill is rejected again, it is obvious that the Republic of Korea will enter a state of non-rehabilitation. The United States and other liberal democracies around the world are expressing serious concerns about the destruction of the constitutional order and the crisis of democracy in the Republic of Korea.

By passing the impeachment bill, we must show the world that the constitutional order and democracy of the Republic of Korea are working normally. Members of the People's Power. This is the last chance. Hold on to the hem of God's clothing that runs out of the gates of history. Article 1 (1) The Republic of Korea is a democratic republic.

Article 1, Paragraph 2 The sovereignty of the Republic of Korea lies with the people, and all power comes from the people. Article 46 (2) of the Constitution. Members of the National Assembly perform their duties according to their conscience, prioritizing the national interest. As a member of the Democratic Republic of Korea, as a member of the National Assembly representing the people, please vote in favor of the national interest and in good conscience. Putting partisan interests in front of a national crisis is a treason against the people and an act of betraying the responsibility of lawmakers under the constitution.

I appeal with urgency to the serious situation. The fate of the Republic of Korea depends on the choice of each member of the National Assembly. I appeal to you to leave a historical lesson that those who destroy the constitutional order by voting for impeachment must be condemned.

I appeal to you to realize the constitutional spirit that all power of the Republic of Korea comes from the people by voting for impeachment. I appeal to the world to show that the democracy of the Republic of Korea is strong by voting for impeachment. Thank you.
