The emergency martial law has been lifted, but there is a strong aftermath in politics.

Both the ruling and opposition parties are considering future countermeasures, including holding an emergency general meeting of lawmakers, and within the people's power, demands for the president's departure have flowed out, and the Democratic Party has taken out a card to impeach the president.

Has the final policy been set in the ruling party?

[Reporter]
Not yet.

From 7 a.m., a closed Supreme Council meeting was held for an hour under the chairmanship of Han Dong-hoon.

After the meeting, the leadership went straight to the assembly without saying anything.

The final policy is expected to be decided based on the results of the Supreme Council meeting at the emergency general meeting.

In the closed-door top committee, it was found that the demand for Yoon Suk Yeol's defection, the resignation of the cabinet, and the reprimand of those responsible, including the defense minister, were mentioned as follow-up measures.

Supreme Council member Kim Jong-hyuk, who attended the meeting, said in an interview with CBS radio that there were disagreements about whether the decision should be made through the National Assembly or whether the Supreme Council is the highest voting body.

It is reported that there are also disagreements over the issue of the president's defection.

Inside the ruling party, the uncomfortable atmosphere between the lawmakers who participated in the vote at the National Assembly and the lawmakers at the party is also read at a similar time.

Most of the 18 lawmakers who voted are classified as close aides to Han,

pro-limit, the floor leadership announced back and forth, so many lawmakers were not able to gather at the National Assembly, showing suspicions of intentionality.

However, floor leader Choo Kyung-ho stressed that it was difficult to enter the National Assembly and that he did not have any communication with the president's office.

What did you talk about at the Democratic Party's general meeting?

[Reporter]
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.

The Democratic Party is also calling on the ruling party to join the impeachment.

Jin Sung-joon, chairman of the policy committee, even said he was also communicating with representative Han Dong-hoon, who drew a line, but some members of the ruling party are openly saying that impeachment discussions are inevitable.

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.

From 12 p.m., 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.
