Kwon Sung-dong, floor leader of the People's Power Party, insisted that three vacant constitutional judges should not be appointed until the impeachment trial of Yoon Suk Yeol's president is over.

The Democratic Party of Korea said it was sophistry to save President Yoon and accused the people of still failing to come to their senses.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Na Hye-in!

So the people's power claim is that the impeachment trial should be conducted in a six-member system?

[Reporter]
First of all, floor leader Kwon Sung-dong said that the Constitution does not plan for six constitutional judges to hear the president's impeachment case and that there is a problem.

However, the Democratic Party is responsible for making the Constitutional Court a "six-member system," and the process of hearing a new judge is belatedly carried out. Handul Han Deok-soo, acting president, insisted that he should not exercise his right to appoint.

It is not right for the acting president to appoint a judge of the Constitutional Court, an independent agency, because the president's position is not empty now, but only his duties have been suspended.

At the time of former President Park Geun Hye's impeachment, the Democratic Party also criticized the appointment of Acting Constitutional Judge Hwang Kyo-ahn and argued that the judge was appointed after the Constitutional Court's decision to dismiss him was made, adding that the court should follow suit again this time.

In response, the Democratic Party refuted that the Constitutional Court, appointed by then Acting President Hwang Kyo-ahn in the face of former President Park Geun Hye's impeachment, was recommended by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

The Democratic Party of Korea opposed the appointment of a successor to the then-president of the Constitutional Court, which former President Park himself chose, arguing that all the vacant positions of the Constitutional Court are recommended by the National Assembly and should be appointed by the acting president.

to have President Yoon's impeachment trial heard in the "six-member system" was criticized as a trick aimed at the fact that a decision to dismiss him could not be made without unanimous consent.

"For fairness in the impeachment trial, it is desirable to conduct a nine-member hearing," he said, adding that if the people's power refuses, the opposition party alone will form a special committee for confirmation hearings tomorrow.

First of all, the floor leaders of the ruling and opposition parties decided to meet in the chairman's office presided over by National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik this afternoon.

It is the first meeting of floor leaders of the ruling and opposition parties since Kwon Sung-dong, floor leader of the People's Power, took office, and the issue of selecting constitutional judges is expected to be discussed naturally.

The special prosecution laws that passed the National Assembly led by the Democratic Party today will also be transferred to the government?

[Reporter]
Kang Yoo-jung, a spokesman for the Democratic Party of Korea, told reporters in the morning.

The so-called "insurrection independent counsel law" and the fourth Kim Gun-hee independent counsel law, which passed the plenary session of the National Assembly on the 12th, will be transferred to the government today.

At the same time, he warned Acting President Han Deok-soo that he should not exercise his veto power, including controversial bills such as the Grain Management Act.

Now, he has repeatedly called for the launch of the National Assembly and the opposition party, saying that the National Assembly and the opposition party should be accepted as one of the pillars of state administration.

However, they say that the power of the people can never be accepted.

The ruling party, which cannot recognize the declaration of emergency martial law as an act of rebellion, and is responsible for the government and state administration, emphasized that it is the power of the people.

Kim Sang-hoon, chairman of the policy committee, drew a line that the government and the ruling party will resolve pending state affairs, starting with a high-level party-government council on the 20th.

In a phone call with YTN, a senior member of the ruling party criticized Lee Jae-myung for acting like a leader because the president was impeached.

The People's Power should elect the emergency committee chairman after the resignation of former representative Han Dong-hoon, right?

How's it going?

[Reporter]
Inside the People's Power, senior members of the floor, including Kwon Young-se, Kim Ki-hyun, and Na Kyung-won, are mentioned as candidates.

A ruling party official told YTN on the phone that the party needs a quick fix at the moment, and it is not normal to find and persuade people outside.

In addition, some said that it is no longer possible to establish an outsider, or "Yong-byeong," as the leader of the party due to the impeachment of President Yoon and the resignation of former Chairman Han Dong-hoon.

Of course, the close circle strongly criticizes this trend.

In an SBS radio interview, Cho Kyung-tae criticized the pro-Yoon-gye for thinking only about their safety as they should start with the public's condemnation of martial law and impeachment.

The Democratic Party also pointed out that the ruling party returned to the "road pro-yoon party" without any remorse.

Cho Seung-rae, a senior spokesman, said, "Can we call the power of the people a normal party now?" and criticized it as a party that still protects the president.
