Please summarize the positions of the ruling and opposition parties between the appointment of a constitutional judge and the impeachment of Han as acting president.

[Reporter]
Yes, tomorrow's plenary session of the National Assembly is expected to deal with the appointment of Ma Eun-hyuk, Jeong Gye-seon, and Cho Han-chang, candidates for constitutional judges.

The Democratic Party of Korea believes that acting President Han Deok-soo should immediately appoint these three candidates after the parliamentary process.

If Han does not implement it, the position is firm that he will push for the impeachment again, which was put on hold at the last minute just before yesterday's impeachment motion.

Park Sung-joon, the deputy floor leader, reaffirmed in an MBC radio interview that the suspension of Han's impeachment was a decision to give him time and patience to appoint a constitutional judge tomorrow.

It is interpreted as meaning that they will give another chance with the appointment of a constitutional judge after not promulgating the two special prosecutor bills, including the Special Prosecutor's Office and the Special Prosecutor's Office Kim Act.

In particular, he reiterated his position that if he actually starts impeaching Han, the standard for impeachment would be "Prime Minister," which would be half of the registered lawmakers, or 151.

The people's power, however, is showing a sharp response to the Democratic Party's impeachment drive to the extent that it criticizes this as a "torture behavior."

In the face of the presidential impeachment, the acting impeachment will only cause confusion in state affairs.

In a KBS radio interview, Kim Dae-sik, the party's chief spokesman, criticized the Democratic Party for only trying to completely devastate the ruling party.

However, he was concerned that there was no way to prevent the majority party's riot at a time when the number of seats was inferior.

Contrary to what the Democratic Party claims, it is expected to consider legal action in the case of impeachment, as it claims that the consent of 200 lawmakers is needed to impeach Han.

Kwon Sung-dong, the floor leader of the People's Power, and Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party, who are currently the heads of the ruling and opposition parties, seem to have entered the last-minute struggle without an official schedule other than attending Christmas events.
