The second impeachment vote against President Yoon Suk Yeol will be held today (14th) in the National Assembly.

When does the general meeting of the ruling and opposition parties begin?

[Reporter]
Yes, it will start at 10 a.m.

In particular, the results of the general meeting of the ruling party, the People's Power, are of interest.

Ahead of the first round of voting, the ruling party decided to oppose the party's theory, that is, "no vote," but the variable has changed in a week.

The day before yesterday (12th), Chairman Han Dong-hoon publicly proposed that the party should approve the impeachment.

When reporters asked how they expected the impeachment vote on their way to the National Assembly a while ago, they answered that they had clearly told the people and lawmakers about their intentions.

He then reiterated his existing position, saying that today is a day that only the Republic of Korea and the people have to think about, and that he will do the same.

So far, seven lawmakers have publicly expressed their "yes" intention to impeach.

Rep. Ahn Cheol Soo reiterated his intention to impeach the president on social media this morning, saying, "I will correct the collapsed constitutional order and follow the will of the people for people's livelihood and diplomatic stability."

Rep. Kim Sang-wook has been holding a pro-impeachment one-man protest in front of the National Assembly's main office for the second day.

On top of that, lawmakers Kim Ye-ji, Cho Kyung-tae, Kim Jae-seop, Jin Jong-oh, and Han Ji-ah have also joined the approval procession.

As it is an anonymous vote, it is observed that there are more lawmakers who will vote for their conviction once they enter the polling place.

At today's general meeting of lawmakers, fierce discussions are expected to take place on whether to change the party's theory or leave only the participation in the vote open, or decide whether to agree or disagree.

The Democratic Party will also discuss its response strategy through a closed general meeting of lawmakers.

The impeachment motion was abandoned in the first round of voting last week, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, the decision quorum itself was not established, so it was discarded.

This is because the ruling party chose to boycott the vote to prevent possible departure votes.

In order for the impeachment bill to be passed, at least two-thirds of the registered lawmakers must approve it.

It requires the consent of more than 200 out of 300 members of the National Assembly.

The pan-night district has 192 seats, and 108 lawmakers belong to the ruling party, the People's Power.

When all opposition parties vote in favor, it is passed if more than eight people agree in the power of the people.

If the impeachment bill crosses the threshold of the National Assembly today, President Yoon's duties will be suspended immediately.

When will the vote begin?

[Reporter]
The plenary session of the National Assembly for the vote will begin at 4 p.m.

The opposition initially announced a vote at 5 p.m.

However, the National Assembly speaker's office explained that it has advanced the time as it is a serious and serious issue nationally.

The impeachment bill was proposed by six opposition parties, including the Democratic Party.

As in the first round, the second impeachment bill stipulated "emergency martial law in violation of the Constitution and laws" as the reason for impeachment.

However, things that are not directly related to martial law, such as Kim Gun-hee's stock price manipulation or allegations of manipulation of public opinion in the presidential election, were excluded.

The additional reasons for impeachment include the situation in which martial law forces occupied the National Election Commission or attempted to arrest lawmakers.

There were also allegations that he tried to make room for politicians and journalists in the Seoul Eastern Detention Center.

Analysts say that the focus was on martial law, reflecting the confidence that impeachment will be possible with just martial law.
