The ruling party's trend toward 'impeachment of the president' is clearly different from that of eight years ago.

Recently, the people's power even responded to the breakaway lawmaker by saying "traitor," and for some reason, reporter Lim Sung-jae organized it.

On the 14th, at least 12 out of 108 ruling party lawmakers appear to have left the party without following the "anti-impeachment" party line in the vote on the impeachment motion.

After the impeachment bill was passed, the ruling party poured out sharp remarks to breakaway lawmakers, meaning "traitors."

In the group chat room of lawmakers, an article was posted to remove the deputy from the party.

[Yoo Young-ha / People's Power Congressman (Channel A YouTube 'Political Signal' on the 19th): I was enraged by the feeling that many people were stabbed in the back. I don't think it's human courtesy apart from anything else.]


The criticism against the pro-impeachment group has spread, which is said to be quite different from the impeachment of former President Park Geun Hye eight years ago.

At that time, heavy presidential candidates such as Kim Moo-sung, Kim ∀, and Nam Kyung-pil came to the fore in favor of impeachment,

It is pointed out that not only were senior members of the party rare this time, but most of the first-term lawmakers or proportional representatives voted in favor of impeachment.

In particular, the fact that the party leader, who vowed to continue his duties, stepped down due to his pro-impeachment stance, some analysts say that it is a measure of the magnitude of the opposition to impeachment.

[Han Dong-hoon / Former leader of the People's Power (16th): He steps down as party leader. Due to the resignation of the supreme council members, the supreme council collapsed, making it impossible to carry out its normal duties as the party leader anymore.]

The general opinion is that the opposite trend from eight years ago has become remarkable, as well as some kind of learning effect, and that it has more than three years left until the next general election.

As those who have actively engaged in impeachment in the past have been shunned by their core supporters under the label of "traitor," it seems that they should take a different path this time.

[Yoon Sang-hyun / People's Power (Rep. 14th): As a member of the National Assembly who shared the same rice with the president, it is the least loyalty to find out the truth about basic facts]

However, there are many concerns within the party that this trend has turned a blind eye to the public sentiment of the general public.It is pointed out that it is difficult to regain power if it is branded as

The martial law advocacy party', which will eventually be evaluated in the 2026 local elections and the presidential election that may not yet be when.
