[Kim Seungwon / Minjoo Party]
I committed an unforgivable, unforgivable, and unforgivable sin. Meanwhile, in the military revolt and civil war, there were people who protected the National Assembly with their bare bodies. The people who helped us cross the wall in front of the police who blocked lawmakers from entering the National Assembly. The people and aides who protected the main office and the plenary hall when we gathered in the plenary hall to deal with the demand for the lifting of martial law. You protected us with your bare hands against the martial law forces of the Yoon Suk Yeol regime. Thanks to the people, the civil war of Yoon Suk Yeol's pro-defense forces failed in six hours and democracy won. The people won. I heartily thank you. It's time for us to protect our people. We need to immediately suspend the authority of President Yoon Suk Yeol, who has committed an indelible crime in front of the people and history, to soothe the anxious hearts of the people and return their daily lives. I saw a report that the party decided not to attend the plenary session after confirming that the impeachment bill of the Yoon Suk Yeol could not be accepted by the power of the people. Is this the truth? I appeal earnestly to Members of the People's Power. We are all constitutional institutions and people who have promised to the people that they will defend the Constitution. Please recall the feeling of serving the people under the oath of office. Please think of the people who are anxious that they don't know what else the President of Yoon Suk Yeol will do. I earnestly appeal to you to join me so that all of the people can recover to a peaceful daily life. Meanwhile, the prosecution is also not free from responsibility for the civil war through this illegal emergency martial law. In 2017, Cho Hyun-cheon, former commander of the Defense Security Command, fled to a foreign country even after committing a preliminary conspiracy to commit a rebellion through martial law documents. Cho Hyun-cheon, who fled abroad under the Yoon Suk Yeol regime, returned home after five years in 2023 and was arrested in March 2023, but will be released on bail in June 2023, just three months later. Cho Hyun-cheon, who was investigated for more than three years in prison, was acquitted of any conspiracy to commit a rebellion and is only charged with abuse of authority, which is less than five years in prison. Cho Hyun-cheon is still strutting down the street while on trial without physical detention. In this way, the prosecution acquitted him of minor crimes, and the Yoon Suk Yeol regime issued an unconstitutional and illegal emergency martial law last night as stated in the above martial law. In order to lift the emergency martial law, opposition lawmakers who came to the National Assembly were arrested as active offenders by soldiers with guns and swords and tried to maintain the illegal emergency martial law due to the lack of a quorum. It's the same as the above document. In order to facilitate the mobilization of troops as stated in the above martial law, the Yoon Suk Yeol government appointed the army chief of staff as martial law commander and appointed Yeo In-young, his junior at Chungam High School, to the position of Chun Doo-hwan, a former security officer, to arrest politicians, citizens, medical personnel, and journalists who oppose the decree without a warrant. The prosecution is responsible for these illegal acts by the President of Yoon Suk Yeol. Honourable Members, I earnestly ask that you now agree to the prosecutors' request for an audit so that they can break away from their privileges, the sense of the people and their own cartels, and that the prosecution can only be used for the people. Thank you.

[Won-Sik Woo / Speaker of the National Assembly]
Kim Seung-won, thank you for your hard work. Then, we will vote on the audit request for the relevant auditor, such as the violation of constitutional laws by the Ministry of Justice and the Prosecutor's Office. Please vote for me. Are you done voting? Then I'll finish the vote. Let me tell you the results of the vote. Of the 188 present, 185 were in favor of it and three were against it, and I declare that the request for an audit of the relevant auditor, including the violation of constitutional laws by the prosecutor of the Ministry of Justice, has been passed. First of all, in order to change the schedule, there is a way to reach an agreement between negotiating groups, and there is a way to create an agenda by submitting a consent to change the schedule. Because I don't have an agenda right now. So first of all, you can consult with the bargaining organization of the people's power first, and then just post it if you reach an agreement according to the results of the consultation, and if you can't, you can submit a motion to change the schedule. First of all, let's consult with the power of the people.

Just a moment ago, the impeachment motion against President Yoon Suk Yeol was reported at the plenary session of the National Assembly. And the vote we just voted on was a vote on the audit request for the prosecutor of the Ministry of Justice and the prosecutor's office. This is a completely different story. First of all, the reporting process is quite simple. Hold on, let's take a look at the scene.

[Won-Sik Woo / Speaker of the National Assembly]
Isn't it early in the morning? Early at night, I took care of the agenda that needed to be dealt with at night first. So I'll declare adjournment. I declare adjournment.

[Anchor]
I didn't see the scene where I was reporting like this for a long time.First of all, the reporting process itself is too simple. President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment motion has been reported to the plenary session of the National Assembly. And under the National Assembly Act, the previously reported impeachment motion must now be voted on in the plenary session after 24 hours and within 72 hours, so it is possible to vote as early as tomorrow. As you said, the anchor said again, there will be a voting process on the 6th or 7th, and the key to the vote is whether more than two-thirds of the registered members will approve it. However, as you can see, all seats of people's power are empty right now. The ruling party decided to oppose the impeachment bill as a party theory, so it was absent for now. He did not attend the reporting session and admitted that he opposed the impeachment on the party platform. I'm telling you the appearance of the plenary session of the National Assembly a little while ago.President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment motion was reported to the plenary session of the National Assembly a little while ago. As a result, the impeachment bill has been reported, so it should be voted on at the plenary session after 24 hours and within 72 hours. So, it is possible to vote as early as tomorrow or the 6th. And if more than two-thirds of the registered members approve it, it will be approved. That's why if more than 200 out of 300 approve it, it will be approved. In this way, I told the plenary session of the National Assembly that the impeachment motion against President Yoon Suk Yeol is reported.
