"When voting on impeachment, attention is paid to whether 'more than eight' people will leave"
"Four people left before""I can't guarantee the scale of the departure."
Even within the power of the people, unlike before, strong remarks such as "impeachment" and "retirement" of Yoon Suk Yeol's president continued.
In particular, from the opposition camp's point of view, eight ruling party members are needed to pass the impeachment bill, and there are concerns about whether the ruling party can keep the "impeachment cordon."

Abnormal atmospheres are being detected even within the people's power in the opposition-led impeachment drive led by the Democratic Party and other opposition parties.
The term "impeachment of the president," which has been taboo, has been mentioned in the mouth of lawmakers belonging to the ruling party.
[Kim Sang-wook / Member of the People's Power (MBC Radio's "Kim Jong-bae's Attention")] I think there is no choice but to talk about impeachment. It's my personal opinion but I don't think it's possible to carry out a normal presidency.
Paradoxically, President Yoon's resignation is inevitable to protect the future of the party,
Naturally, attention is focused on whether the ruling party can defend the 'impeachment cordon'.
More than two-thirds of the 300 lawmakers need a vote in favor of the president's impeachment, but the 108-member single party, which collapsed even if only eight lawmakers left, felt more precarious than ever.
First of all, there is a public outcry that divides the party around the pro-Yoon-gye and senior party members, that is, not as good as impeachment.

The impeachment of the president is read as a sense of crisis that it is the loss of power, and even in the pro-Park faction, there are voices that go beyond prudence and support the claim of "no impeachment."
However, it is difficult to ignore the observation that the scale of the departure cannot be guaranteed considering the impact of the martial law incident, given that up to four people have left in the previous re-vote of the First Lady Kim's Special Counsel Act.
[Chun Ha-ram / Floor Leader of the New Reform Party: According to Lee Joon-seok, at least six ruling party lawmakers have confirmed their intention to approve the impeachment.]
Regardless of the factions, the loud voice of "no impeachment" is analyzed to be a kind of trauma in the ruling party, which originated from the case of former President Park Geun Hye.
However, along with the opposition's "impeachment offensive," which is gradually raising the level, some predict that it may not be easy to maintain a single confrontation stance depending on the trend of public opinion this week.
