Three candidates for the Constitutional Court "Impeachment Trial, Fast Sentencing" vs "Faithfully Hearing"

Among the three candidates to fill the vacancy of the Constitutional Court, Ma Eun-hyuk and Chung Gye-sun, recommended by the Democratic Party, said unnecessary delays in the hearing of the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol could add to social confusion and that it is desirable to sentence them as soon as possible.

On the other hand, candidate Cho Han-chang, recommended by the People's Power, was somewhat cautious, saying that the constitutional trial should not be unreasonably delayed, but that the parties should fully guarantee procedural rights and require a faithful hearing.

The three candidates expressed their views in a written response submitted to the office of Kim Han-kyu of the Democratic Party, who was appointed as the opposition secretary of the National Assembly's special committee on personnel hearings.

Candidates responded to the effect that it is largely up to the Constitutional Court to decide at its discretion whether the trial process can be stopped if the criminal trial proceeds for reasons such as the impeachment trial.
