Minjoo Pressures 'Special Prosecutor, Constitutional Judge'... "Reviewing Acting President Han's Preemptive Impeachment"

[Anchor]
In addition, the Democratic Party of Korea is pressuring acting President Han Deok-soo to accept the independent counsel law for rebellion, the independent counsel law for Kim Gun-hee, and the appointment of a constitutional judge recommended by the National Assembly.

He threatened that an acting president's "preemptive impeachment" would be possible if it dragged on.

Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party, urged the National Assembly to recommend a candidate for constitutional judge, and Han Deok-soo, acting president, should quickly appoint him.

If not appointed, the rebellion went beyond sympathy, and itself was an act of rebellion.

[Lee Jae-myung/Democratic Party leader: We recommend that you do not disappoint or anger the people anymore, but do what you have to do quickly]

The Democratic Party called for the promulgation of the general independent counsel law for rebellion and the independent counsel law for Kim Gun-hee.

He also mentioned the possibility of "preemptive impeachment," saying he would not wait until the 31st, just before the deadline for demanding reconsideration, or exercising his veto.

{Acting for Insurrection}, not 'Acting for Insurrection', but 'Acting for the People', at the same time,

[Park Chan-dae / Minjoo Party floor leader: If you continue to defend the rebellion and try to continue the rebellion, you will face the same fate as the rebellion.]

Lawyer Seok Dong-hyun did not take over the case and stood on the side of the president of Yoon Suk Yeol and held a press conference, accusing him of "insurrection propaganda."

The Democratic Party believes that as acting Han has already vetoed six controversial bills, there is no way to avoid the appointment of a constitutional judge on the grounds of "acting."

Instead of impeaching him right away, he plans to go all out to have Prime Minister Han promulgate the two independent counsel laws and appoint a constitutional judge.

There are many concerns within the party that if the Constitutional Court is not appointed by the National Assembly and the "unanimous agreement" fails in the six-member Constitutional Court, the political situation could fall into extreme confusion.

This is the background of the analysis that the impeachment of acting Han Deok-soo depends on the appointment of a constitutional judge.
