Kwon Sung-dong, "Constitutional Judge shall not be appointed until the result of impeachment"

"Isn't the president in a state of vacancy?Acting Authorities Can't Appoint "

" Follow the Park Geun Hye..."The Constitutional Court's 6-member system is responsible for the opposition."

Kwon Sung-dong, floor leader of the People's Power Party, insisted that three vacant constitutional judges should not be appointed until the impeachment trial of Yoon Suk Yeol's president is over.

The Democratic Party of Korea said it was sophistry to save President Yoon and accused the people of still failing to come to their senses.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Na Hye-in!

So the people's power claim is that the impeachment trial should be conducted in a six-member system?

[Reporter]
First of all, floor leader Kwon Sung-dong said that the Constitution does not plan for six constitutional judges to hear the president's impeachment case and that there is a problem.

However, he argued that it is not right for Acting President Han Deok-soo to exercise his authority to appoint judges of the Constitutional Court, an independent agency, at a time when the president's position is not empty, but only his duties are suspended.

During the impeachment of former President Park Geun Hye, Acting President Hwang Kyo-ahn also appointed a judge after the Constitutional Court's decision to dismiss the president, saying that the same precedent should be followed this time.

At that time, the Democratic Party also strongly criticized the appointment of Acting Constitutional Judge Hwang Kyo-ahn, pointing out that the Democratic Party is also responsible for making the Constitutional Court a "six-member system."

In response, the Democratic Party strongly criticized the plan to let the president's impeachment trial be heard in the "six-member system" as sophistry to save President Yoon.

It is a trick to expect representative Lee Jae-myung's criminal trial to proceed quickly before aiming at the fact that the president can be dismissed only when six judges agree unanimously.

Park Chan-dae, the floor leader, said that it is desirable to proceed with the hearing in a nine-member system for fairness in the impeachment trial, arguing that Kwon Sung-dong's argument is a ridiculous pun.

All vacant constitutional judges are recommended by the National Assembly, so if the ruling and opposition parties elect, the president will only go through the appointment process, he said, refuting that it makes no sense that the acting president cannot do it.

The People's Power should elect the emergency committee chairman after the resignation of former representative Han Dong-hoon, right?

How's it going?

[Reporter]
Inside the People's Power, senior members of the floor, including Kwon Young-se, Kim Ki-hyun, and Na Kyung-won, are mentioned as candidates.

A ruling party official told YTN on the phone that the party needs a quick fix at the moment, and it is not normal to find and persuade people outside.

In addition, some said that it is no longer possible to establish an outsider, or "Yong-byeong," as the leader of the party due to the impeachment of President Yoon and the resignation of former Chairman Han Dong-hoon.

Of course, the close circle strongly criticizes this trend.

In an SBS radio interview, Cho Kyung-tae criticized the pro-Yoon-gye for thinking only about their safety as they should start with the public's condemnation of martial law and impeachment.

The Democratic Party also pointed out that the ruling party returned to the "road pro-yoon party" without any remorse.

Cho Seung-rae, a senior spokesman, said, "Can we call the power of the people a normal party now?" and criticized it as a party that still protects the president.

Do you think the ruling and opposition parties are very different on how to stabilize state affairs?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Democratic Party of Korea is calling for the participation of the people in the National Security Consultative Body proposed by Representative Lee Jae-myung.

Acting President Han Deok-soo warned that the National Assembly and the opposition should now be accepted as one of the pillars of state administration, and that he should not veto controversial bills such as the Grain Management Act, which passed the National Assembly.

The Independent Counsel Act on Insurrection and the Special Counsel Act on First Lady Kim Gun-hee, which passed the National Assembly, will also be transferred to the government today, and they urged the government to recommend candidates for permanent special prosecutors who are not subject to veto first.

In response, he protested that the power of the people could never be accepted.

Kim Sang-hoon, chairman of the policy committee, said that the ruling party is the power of the people, and drew a line that the government and the ruling party will resolve pending issues in state affairs, starting with a high-level party-government council on the 20th.

In a phone call with YTN, a senior member of the ruling party criticized Lee Jae-myung for acting like a leader because the president was impeached, saying, "It is abominable that the budget and impeachment overturned the state affairs."
