Yesterday, the confirmation hearing of two candidates for constitutional judges recommended by the opposition party ended with only the opposition party present.
Today, a confirmation hearing for a constitutional judge recommended by the ruling party is being held, and the people's power will not go in today.
What's the reason? Let's hear from Park Hyung-soo, the deputy floor leader of the People's Power Party.
[Park Hyung-soo / Deputy floor leader of People's Power (YTN News Fighting: People's Power will not enter the Constitutional Court's confirmation hearing today, nor will the Supreme Court's confirmation hearing. Because the president has both a position as head of state and a position as head of the executive branch. However, the authority to appoint a constitutional judge or Supreme Court justice, an independent constitutional institution, comes from the position of head of state. However, this part is completely different from the right to request reconsideration from the exercise of the veto, which is now the head of the administration. However, the Democratic Party of Korea can enforce this now and appoint a constitutional judge. You have to do it. To argue like this is the opposite of what the Democratic Party has claimed in the past. So we cannot agree to push ahead with a constitutional judge confirmation hearing that basically cannot be appointed by the acting president. That's the position.
The Democratic Party pointed out that they recommended it and even gave up the exercise of the minimum defense rights.
However, the power of the people is confronting the Constitutional Court that it will seek a power dispute trial.
Representative Kim Han-kyu, who is in charge of the opposition party's secretary at the confirmation hearing, argued that there was no problem in the procedure and content, and that the variables were zero.
[Kim Han-kyu / Rep. of the Democratic Party (KBS)] On Cho Han-chang, who was recommended by the People's Power today, I don't think they raised any questions, but I think they recommended him because he has no problems. Then you have to attend and defend yourself against the issues that our party members raise. If you don't attend today, I'll be the secretary of the Democratic Party, so shouldn't you play that role instead? I'm preparing it like that. We believe that the variable is zero. I've reviewed it internally, but it's now unclear how to dispute the authority. It's very limited for lawmakers to debate authority. Originally, the government, the NEC, and the National Assembly are doing this, but lawmakers can exceptionally file a power dispute against the speaker of the National Assembly when there is a procedural defect. In that respect, even if an application for a dispute of authority is filed, it does not affect the appointment of a constitutional judge.Kim Sang-guk, a member of the People's Power Party who even held a one-man protest in favor of the vote on the impeachment of President
Yoon, left a bitter comment on the martial law incident this morning.
He stressed that President Yoon should cooperate with the investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit even now, saying that the nature of the impeachment of former President Park Geun Hye is completely different. Let's listen to it.
[Kim Sang-wook / Member of the People's Power (Channel A Political Signal: It is a completely different matter from President Park Geun Hye and President Yoon Suk Yeol now. During the Park Geun Hye presidency, the focus was on personal corruption, or in a way, personal corruption and corruption, and incompetence, but President Yoon Suk Yeol's actions this time are a national crime. In the past, it's a crime of treason. They tried to paralyze the National Assembly, the constitutional institution of the country, they tried to paralyze the normal constitutional function of the National Assembly, they tried to go into dictatorship. They were trying to smash liberal democracy head on. I was going to kill and kill my political opponents. This part itself is a completely different part. And that is why the comparison as in Park Geun Hye's presidency is not right in the discussion itself. That's how I see it.]
