"Acting Han can be preemptively impeached...Emergency Action Resumes Next Week"

[Anchor]
The Democratic Party of Korea is criticizing Acting President Han Deok-soo for exercising his right to demand reconsideration on controversial bills yesterday.

He is raising the level of pressure, saying that he can preemptively impeach Han,

People's Power is continuing discussions for the appointment of a new leadership, and first of all, it seems to place weight on the 'two-top' system of floor leader and emergency committee chairman.

I'm connecting you with a reporter from the National Assembly. Reporter Park Jung-hyun.

First of all, please tell us the Democratic Party atmosphere in detail!

[Reporter]
Yes, first, representative Lee Jae-myung criticized the exercise of Han Deok-soo's right to demand reconsideration, saying that the act of ignoring the legislative power of the National Assembly is repeated, and that it is a damage to the separation of powers.

Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the party, also said, "I'm very sorry, and I can't help but ask if I'm going to follow President Yoon's path."

[Lee Jae-myung / Minjoo Party leader: The will of the people for the president's violation of the Constitution and martial law is more severe than ever. I hope that the acting president will no longer go against the will of the people.]

At the general meeting of lawmakers convened after the morning's supreme council, remarks aimed at acting Han continued.

The Democratic Party of Korea has made it clear that it will not wait until the deadline for the request for reconsideration on the 31st.

He repeatedly pressed for the acceptance of the special prosecution law and the appointment of a constitutional judge, saying that preemptive impeachment is possible.

Immediately after the general meeting, a condemnation contest was also held at the Rotender Hall of the National Assembly, and emergency action was also decided to resume next week.

Inside the Democratic Party, the most important thing is whether to appoint three constitutional judges to the National Assembly to hear the impeachment trial of the president.

If the appointment is delayed, the impeachment trial will inevitably have an impact, and impeachment will not be cited even if only one person makes a different opinion under the current six-member system.

A key floor leadership official said in a phone call that public pressure will increase as the prosecution's investigation into President Yoon is speeding up, and predicted that there will be a moment when it will be difficult for Han to hold out in the end.

Please also point out the situation of the ruling party.

[Reporter]
Yes, the People's Power held a high-level party council meeting on state security at the Prime Minister's Office in the morning.

Major government figures, including acting Han Deok-soo, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Choi Sang-mok, and ruling party leaders, including acting party leader Kwon Sung-dong and policy committee chairman Kim Sang-hoon, also participated.

At the meeting, the ruling party and the government expressed their will to do their best to maintain unwavering state administration and restore the daily lives of the people.

Acting President Kwon Sung-dong, in particular, asked Acting Minister Han Deok-soo to appoint the currently vacant Minister of Defense and Public Administration and Security as soon as possible.

[Kwon Seong-dong / Acting Representative of People's Power: National defense and security are the basic orders that support the nation and are the foundation for protecting the constitution. Therefore, the appointment of the Minister of Defense and the Minister of Public Administration and Security is urgent.]

Acting President Kwon Sung-dong has been meeting with the ministers and vice ministers of each department for several days, which is interpreted as a move not to lose its presence as the ruling party.

However, it is also clearly seen in the party that it is hard to escape from martial law and the aftermath of impeachment.

According to the report on the previous day, the recordings were released at the general meeting of the lawmakers, which were literally chaotic immediately after the impeachment was passed,

Recently, following the full text of the group chat room of lawmakers on the day of martial law, the division of the party has been leaked out, and there are growing calls within the party for the leadership to come up with measures.

In a call, a key lawmaker, Yun-gye, criticized the report as maliciously edited, but he responded psychologically about the leak, saying that the relationship between the comrades has gone out of the water.

The ruling party's head has been vacant since the resignation of Han Dong-hoon, and discussions for the next leadership are continuing, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, we gathered by players in the morning to discuss the recommendation of candidates for the emergency committee chairman.

Participants said that if the re-election, three-term, and four-term gatherings go one-top, the floor leadership will bear a heavy burden, and that it would be better to separate the emergency committee chairman and the floor leader.

However, a key floor leadership official said in a phone call that acting president Kwon should show strong leadership as it is in a crisis, adding that he should give weight to the one-top system.

The problem is that in the aftermath of severe internal strife, there are not many people who feel burdened by giving opinions, such as recommending certain people among lawmakers.

Some say that there should be a person who can reform the party, but lawmaker Cho Kyung-tae stressed on the radio that the person who will take the lead in separating the president from the president should come out as the emergency committee chairman.

In the end, some point out that acting acting as Kwon Sung-dong is necessary as discussions among lawmakers are delayed.
