Is the general meeting of the ruling party still going on?

[Reporter]
The general meeting of lawmakers, which began at 10 a.m., has been going on for nearly two hours.

As the atmosphere has changed due to the president's statement in a week, various opinions have been reported on the party's argument.

Ahead of the first round of voting, the ruling party decided to oppose the party's theory, or "no vote," and chose to "not participate" in the vote to prevent possible departure votes.

Regardless of the pros and cons within the party, it is highly likely that it will be decided by self-voting as voices have increased that at least voting should be done.

Representative Han Dong-hoon, who publicly proposed to make "pro-impeachment" a party platform, also attended the general assembly of lawmakers on the 12th.Representative

Han reiterated his existing position on his way to work this morning, so let's hear it for ourselves.

Rep. Ahn Cheol Soo reiterated his support for impeachment on social media this morning, saying he would follow the will of the people,

Rep. Kim Sang-wook has been holding a pro-impeachment protest in front of the National Assembly's main office for the second day.

On top of that, seven lawmakers, including Kim Ye-ji, Cho Kyung-tae, Kim Jae-seop, Jin Jong-oh, and Han Ji-ah, have openly joined the approval procession.

As it is an anonymous vote, it is observed that there are more lawmakers who will vote for their conviction once they enter the polling place.

Please also summarize the terms of the impeachment motion.

[Reporter]
In order for the impeachment bill to be passed, at least two-thirds of the registered lawmakers must approve it.

It requires the consent of more than 200 out of 300 members of the National Assembly.

The pan-night district has 192 seats, and 108 lawmakers belong to the ruling party, the People's Power.

When all opposition parties vote in favor, it is passed if more than eight people agree in the power of the people.

In the first round of voting last week, the impeachment bill was abolished because the ruling party's absence prevented the quorum from being established, but if the impeachment bill crosses the threshold of the National Assembly today, President Yoon's duties will be suspended immediately.

The Democratic Party also held a closed general meeting of lawmakers, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, unlike the ruling party, where fierce discussions come and go, it ended in 10 minutes.

It seems that they gathered together and had time to reorganize as they were about to vote on the impeachment bill.

The Democratic Party plans to hold another general meeting of lawmakers at 3:30 p.m., just before the vote.

The plan is to be nervous until the end of the vote and work hard to persuade even one more person.

After the morning assembly, I met with citizens who attended the assembly, and let's listen to the remarks.

When will the vote begin?

[Reporter]
The plenary session of the National Assembly for the vote will begin at 4 p.m.

The opposition initially announced a vote at 5 p.m.

However, the National Assembly speaker's office explained that it has advanced the time as it is a serious and serious issue nationally.

The impeachment bill was proposed by six opposition parties, including the Democratic Party.

As in the first round, the second impeachment bill stipulated "emergency martial law in violation of the Constitution and laws" as the reason for impeachment.

However, things that are not directly related to martial law, such as Kim Gun-hee's stock price manipulation or allegations of manipulation of public opinion in the presidential election, were excluded.

The additional reasons for impeachment include the situation in which martial law forces occupied the National Election Commission or attempted to arrest lawmakers.

There were also allegations that he tried to make room for politicians and journalists in the Seoul Eastern Detention Center.

Analysts say that the focus was on martial law, reflecting the confidence that impeachment will be possible with just martial law.
