“If the prosecutor general is not impeached, it is difficult to gain momentum for institutional reform.”
The aftershocks continued in the Democratic Party until the 27th as Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Doo-gwan claimed to impeach Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol.
Rep. Kim said on the 26th that “impeachment of the prosecutor general, which is the pinnacle of the anti-reform alliance, is a prerequisite for institutional reform.” “Since pursuing impeachment does not mean that institutional reform cannot be performed, impeachment will proceed as impeachment and institutional reform. “You can keep pushing it separately.” On the 25th, Rep. Kim fired up the theory of impeachment, saying, “Impeach Yoon Seok-yeol, Kim Du-gwan will take the lead.”
On the 25th, Rep. Hwang Unha, a former policeman, said, “If (President Yoon) continues to shake the government while engaging in de facto political acts, it cannot be seen if the confusion of state affairs and the division of national opinion accelerate.” It may be inevitable to wait for the decision.”
The proposal for impeachment of the prosecutor general is decided by the motion of more than a third of the members of the National Assembly and a majority vote. As soon as the National Assembly passes, the prosecutor general is suspended. However, in order for the Constitutional Court to finally pass the impeachment bill, more than six (two-thirds) of the Constitutional Judges are required to attend. In the passport, public opposition came out, saying, “You should not provide the excuse of headwind” (Spokesman Heo Young) or “It is difficult (to be cited) in the Constitutional Court” (former lawmaker Lee Seok-hyun). In particular, on the 25th, when President Moon attempted to take action on the 25th, “I apologize as a person in charge of human resources for causing inconvenience and confusion to the people,” the impeachment theory emerged, a feeling of embarrassment was also detected.

“If the impeachment proposal is proposed, the Democratic Party will be a sandwich in the face of the opposition’s offensive and demands for impeachment,” said a pro-munity-oriented lawmaker. “In the conflict between President Yoon and the ruling party, it is only possible to meet the by-election in April next year. Should be avoided.” A re-elected lawmaker who tends to be close to prosecution said, “The impeachment of President Yoon is not realistic and profitable.” He argued, “Now we need to pressurize Mr. Yun through revision of the Criminal Procedure Act or improvement of the system to eliminate the prosecution’s convenience of prosecution.”
Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, who returned to work following the citation of the administrative court’s request for suspension of the enforcement of the disciplinary action of the prosecutor general (last 24), is on his way to the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office in Seocho-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 25th. yunhap news
Democratic Party lawmaker Lee Sang-min, a non-mainstream leader, said in a call with the JoongAng Ilbo that “if the corona pushed for the impeachment of President Yun in a serious situation, we would face criticism that it threw people’s lives”. The Ministry of Justice demanded a two-month suspension of discipline, but there were also concerns that the Constitution would be convinced if the National Assembly pushed for the strongest discipline of impeachment.
In the group chat room where 174 members of the Democratic Party gathered, from the 25th, several articles of lawmakers expressing disapproval to the opinion of Congressman Kim have been posted. A re-elected member of the Democratic Party said, “There were a lot of intense reactions right after the court’s disciplinary suspension (last 24th), but as time passed, there were many articles saying that it was impossible to pursue impeachment.”
Leadership “Because of apologizing even to the President…”
Democratic Party spokesman Shin Young-dae said in a comment on the day, “We will steadily reform for fair law enforcement through mutual checks and balances of power institutions through the prompt launch of the Airborne Division (High-Level Office for Crime Investigation) and institutional reform through legislation.” The impeachment of President Yun was not mentioned.
On the 25th, a national petition for the Blue House national petition to promote the impeachment of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol came up. As of the 27th, 65,000 people agreed. Blue House website capture
Democratic Party chief spokesman Choi In-ho said, “The impeachment promotion is the personal opinion of some lawmakers.” “The leadership decided to focus on the institutional promotion of prosecution reform.” The third line of lawmakers who belong to the leadership said, “It is not the nature of reform of the prosecution, but it is not appropriate to come up with impeachment,” and “the leadership will refrain from public debate on the move of President Yun.”
