The police are also paying attention to the Cabinet meeting held just before the declaration of the emergency martial law, where President Yoon gave Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Choi Sang-mok a one-page document on A4 paper, which was secured. The content is intended to cut the operating expenses of the National Assembly, but it seems to contradict the president's claim that he had no intention of dissolving the National Assembly.

◇ Lim Joo-hye That's right. Choi Sang-mok, the Minister of Strategy and Finance of the National Assembly, also received this document from President Yoon Suk Yeol in an urgent question on this part. Although it was recognized to the extent that it was intended to secure finances in relation to emergency martial law, the National Assembly immediately decided to lift the emergency martial law, so it was immediately abandoned. I once said that I ignored this part and that I didn't recognize it properly. It is said that the specific document has also been submitted. Now, according to reports, cut the National Assembly's operating expenses for now on the document that President Yoon Suk Yeol handed to the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs. I heard that there was something like this. Make an operational budget for the emergency martial legislature. It is said that this was included, but in the end, the budget must be approved by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, and it is suspected that it was an attempt to take control of the National Assembly by blocking funds for such expenses.

In fact, depending on the existence of such documents, as well as how and how the contents are specifically written, no matter how emergency martial law is declared, according to the Constitution, this can serve as a basis for paralyzing the work of the National Assembly because we do not have the right to prevent the operation of the National Assembly or its free decisions under emergency martial law.

◆ Anchor
These are completely different from what President Yoon said in his public statement on the 12th. Let's watch the related video.

Listening to it in person, I think it doesn't make sense. How did you like it?

◇ Cha Jin-ah
As Deputy Prime Minister Choi Sang-mok, there was no economic situation at the time, so anyone can predict what he thought he had to do, the liquidity of financial funds, and the plunge in the value of the won due to the issuance of emergency regulations, so he probably remembered what he had to do and the liquidity of financial funds were important. I think the rest of them ignored it because they thought this was ridiculous, as they claimed. If the contents of this note are true, as lawyer Lim said earlier, it can be linked to the intention of disabling the function of the National Assembly, so it can be an important clue to prove the purpose of the national constitution in the crime of rebellion. So I think this is one of the most important physical evidence.

◆ Anchor
Then, do you think the A4 paper 1 document can have a great influence on the investigation into the rebellion or the Constitutional Court's judgment?

◇ Cha Jin-ah
I think it can have a big impact. So, just like a short surprise show, martial law is declared as a shock therapy to inform and warn the public about the problems of the National Assembly. It is said that martial law was declared with this intention, but I think the National Assembly's budget was also intended to respond by eliminating operating expenses and preventing activities in response to a large cut in the administration's budget. This itself is linked to the purpose of the National Constitution in Article 87 of the Criminal Act, which instructs to block the National Assembly and, if connected, tries to prevent the functioning of the National Assembly and makes it impossible to exercise the National Assembly's power. So this seems to be a very important evidence in establishing the crime of rebellion.
