[Anchor]
Kwon Sung-dong, acting chairman and floor leader of the People's Power Party, met with Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, to ask him to withdraw his political offensive impeachment.

In response, Representative Lee reiterated the National Security Council he proposed, saying that there are no topics or agendas the two parties cannot talk about.

Kwon Sung-dong, the acting leader and floor leader of the People's Power Party, stopped Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party for the first time since taking office.

The meeting between the two, who are seniors and juniors in college, created a friendly atmosphere.

said, "First of all, I met seven presidents under the 1987 Constitution, and no president is considered good."

At the same time, he said that it is time to change the "presidential-centered system" and raised the topic of "reconstitution."

He also asked for the withdrawal of impeachment other than the president, saying it is questionable whether all impeachment pending in the Constitutional Court, including the president's impeachment, can be processed.

Representative Lee Jae-myung reiterated the "National Stability Consultative Body," emphasizing that politics' role is to make concessions and compromises with each other to reach a certain agreement.

As the state of affairs is very unstable due to the suspension of the president's duties, practical consultations should be held as soon as possible.

At the same time, he emphasized the urgency of restoring the constitutional order and the need for the presidential impeachment trial process to proceed quickly.

For the first time, they sat face to face and discussed the need for a supplementary budget and bills related to the people's livelihood economy, but no clear conclusion was reached.

After the meeting between Kwon Sung-dong and Lee Jae-myung, a general meeting of ruling party lawmakers was held to discuss whether to participate in the National Security Council proposed by representative Lee.

However, as the negative trend continues, it is difficult to find a point of contact between the ruling and opposition parties to come up with a plan to deal with the political situation.
