The Democratic Party and six other opposition parties will propose a second impeachment of Yoon Suk Yeol's president tomorrow, a day later than originally planned.The decision was made to reflect specific circumstances before and after martial law, including testimony from former Special Warfare Commander Kwak Jong-geun that President
Yoon ordered lawmakers to be pulled out himself.

The Democratic Party plans to vote on the impeachment of President Yoon at the plenary session at 5 p.m. on the 14th.
He strengthened his determination to pass the impeachment this week and pressed the people to vote autonomously in support of the will of the people.
[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party leader: The people are watching in the square, and they'll be watching. The impeachment train has departed. Never, never stop.]
The process of recommending candidates for the "crime of rebellion" permanent special prosecution law, which passed the National Assembly plenary session earlier, has also begun, and the Democratic Party urged President Yoon to appoint two candidates from the opposition party without delay.
[Park Chan-dae / Minjoo Party floor leader: The Yoon Suk Yeol should request the recommendation of independent counsel candidates without delay. We warn that delays and evasion will add to the reason for impeachment.]
The general independent counsel law on 'crime of rebellion' and the 4th Kim Gun-hee independent counsel law passed the National Assembly Judiciary Committee alone by the opposition party.
The Democratic Party plans to deal with both bills immediately at tomorrow's plenary session.
