2024, which began with terrorism and ended with martial law and impeachment... 'extreme conflict'

[Anchor]
The past 2024 year of politics is summed up with the phrase "unprecedented."

Politicians, who have been shocked by political terrorism since the beginning of January, ended with an unprecedented emergency martial law in December, and reporter Jeong In-yong looked back.

Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party, who visited Busan for the New Year in early January last year, was attacked with a weapon in the neck.

It was an incident in which a man in his 60s committed terrorism on the grounds that his political beliefs were different, and his life could have been threatened.

[Lee Jae-myung/Democratic Party leader (January October last year): I hope this war-like politics, which we hate and kill, will disappear with this incident]

In the April general election, which will elect the 22nd National Assembly member, the power of the ruling party barely crossed the constitutional amendment line with 108 seats, and the opposition Democratic Party won a big victory with a single majority.

Cho Kuk, former leader of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party, who caused a stir by sweeping 12 seats with proportional representation alone,
Lee Joon-seok, a member of the Reform New Party who founded the
New Party and entered Yeouido after four steps, also received considerable attention.

Amid the opposition's landslide victory, President Yoon Suk Yeol remained the only government to run state affairs throughout his term in the National Assembly in a "little opposition" since the 1987 presidential election amendment.

[Lee Kwan-seop, then presidential chief of staff (April 11th last year): humbly accepting the will of the people shown in the general election, he said he would do his best to reform the state administration and stabilize the economy and people's livelihoods.]

Since the opening of the 22nd National Assembly, the situation of Yeosoya University has led to an infinite number of votes: "The passage of the opposition party's single bill and the exercise of the president's right to demand reconsideration."

In the meantime, Han Dong-hoon, then chairman of the emergency committee, who resigned due to the defeat in the general election, took the party back to power with more than 60% support, criticizing the president and his wife,
Representative Lee Jae-myung,
won a second term as representative of the party in 24 years since former President Kim Dae Jung and sat down as the head of the ruling and opposition parties again for talks, but cooperation was not easy.

Conflicts continued in the second half of the year, and the first ever impeachment of the auditor led by the opposition party was reported to the National Assembly plenary session.

And in just one day, President Yoon's declaration of emergency martial law occurred, which shocked the world beyond our political circles.

It has been 45 years since the death of former President Park Chung-hee in 1979, and the situation of 2,500 military and police officers being deployed to the National Assembly of the National Assembly of the People's Assembly along with helicopters was broadcast live.

[Won-Sik Woo / Speaker of the National Assembly (December 4th last year): Out of 190 people present, 190 are in favor of the resolution to lift emergency martial law, declaring that the resolution has been passed]President Yoon, who also claimed that it was a warning measure against the

large opposition party, is now in a position to be arrested following the impeachment.

On top of that, Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, who is in charge of resolving the impeachment situation, was also on hold for the appointment of three constitutional judges recommended by the National Assembly, but the impeachment bill was passed.

There was even an unprecedented incident of acting as an agent.

[Han Deok-soo / Prime Minister (Dec. 27 last year): Although my duties will be suspended, I believe the South Korean government will work solidly.]

Currently, Acting President Choi Sang-mok, the deputy prime minister for economy, is playing four roles per person, including the role of the head of the company's headquarters due to the Jeju Air plane disaster.

In 2024, the political world was evaluated as a series of unprecedented scenes.
