A month has passed since the December 3 emergency martial law crisis, but the political turmoil has hardly been resolved as the impeachment trial continues.

Perhaps because of this atmosphere, the ruling and opposition parties continue to make sharp remarks toward each other, so what do the people think?

Reporter Lim Sung-jae's report.

The power of the people, who are on the defensive in the impeachment process, is increasing the level of the offensive against Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party every day.

The reason why the Democratic Party of Korea is rushing the impeachment trial even by removing the charge of rebellion from the reason for the impeachment of President Yoon is that it cannot be explained except for the intention to hold an early presidential election for Lee.

In particular, he highlighted the "judicial risk" of representative Lee, who is facing eight cases, 12 charges, and five trials, and he did not hesitate to express the term "prisoner."

[Kwon Seong-dong / People's Power Floor Leader: Lee Jae-myung is destroying the community order so that the person who walked the prisoner's path becomes king. I hope Lee will take his own trial or faithfully.]

{President Yoon returned Lee's statement that he was trying to become king by declaring an emergency martial law, but he ended up going down the path of a prisoner,
The
Democratic Party launched an offensive against more than 40 members of the People's Power who flocked to the president's residence when the arrest warrant was executed.

As a small number of lawmakers came forward to defend President Yoon, it reinforced the logic that the people's power itself is a "collusion force."

A party that thinks only of its own interests in the face of an ugly desire for power has also made a sharp criticism that it is not even qualified to use the word "people" in its name.

[Park Chan-dae / Minjoo Party floor leader: The power of the people should change the name of the party to "The Insurrection Monster Party." Far from being disciplined for the "No. 1 party member" Yoon Suk Yeol, he is delaying the impeachment trial and investigation by protecting the Yoon Suk Yeol of the rebellion monster and using all kinds of tricks.

Some point out that the "presumption of innocence" principle, which regards the president and the opposition leader as innocent until the final judgment of the Supreme Court, has been tarnished due to rampant expressions that conclude that the president and the opposition leader are actually "criminals."

At a time when the party should focus on stabilizing the state administration more than ever, it is a criticism that the political community is only focusing on hostility toward each other, not a productive struggle for leadership.

This is why both the ruling and opposition parties are calling for a stable settlement of the political situation, but they do not engage in "cooperative" in reality, and there are many predictions that the "political disappearance" that led to the impeachment situation will be repeated again in eight years.
