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.

However, the ruling party's opinion has not yet been unified.

Has the final policy been set in the ruling party?

[Reporter]
Not yet.

Since 7 a.m., a closed Supreme Council meeting has been held under the chairmanship of Han Dong-hoon, and now the emergency general meeting of lawmakers has been underway for three hours.

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.

However, following the meeting of the Supreme Council, there are reportedly strong differences within the party over the issue of leaving the president at the general meeting of lawmakers.

Participants in the meeting told YTN that Yoo Young-ha and others mentioned the case of former President Park Geun Hye's impeachment and said it was necessary to consider the re-creation of the government.

Inside the ruling party, the uncomfortable atmosphere between the lawmakers who participated in the vote on the demand for the lifting of martial law at the National Assembly early this morning and the lawmakers at the party's headquarters at a similar time is also read.

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.

The plan is to propose an impeachment bill as early as today, report it tomorrow, and push for a resolution 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 Han Dong-hoon, the representative of Han drew a line, but some members of the ruling party are openly saying that impeachment discussions are inevitable.

Originally, the plenary session was scheduled to vote on the impeachment of the chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection and three prosecutors pushed by the Democratic Party at 2 p.m. today.

The Democratic Party believes that the impeachment of the chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection or the prosecutor is less meaningful in the current situation and plans to focus on the impeachment process of the president for now.

The plan is to hold an emergency meeting with party members at the National Assembly from 12 p.m.

Chairman Woo Won-sik also canceled all external schedules in consideration of the severity of the situation and said he would wait and watch the situation at the National Assembly's office for the time being.
