In addition, the Democratic Party is reorganizing Daeo ahead of the impeachment proceedings of Judge Im Seong-geun, a judge involved in the judicial Nongdan. On the 1st, just before the initiative, consensus was expressed with successive comments of support.
In an article posted on Facebook that day, Rep. Kim Seong-hwan (Seoul, No Won-byeong) told about the situation surrounding the discussion on impeachment of judges at the two legislative assembly meetings held last week. He said, “There was no member of the opposition,” he said, “but there was a concern that the time was too late or that confusion would result in a time when people should concentrate on livelihoods.” Nevertheless, he added, “The majority of lawmakers broadened their sympathy with Lee Tan-hee’s sincere and persuasive proposal.”
Rep. Kim said, “Rep. Lee Tan-hee, who led this issue, had a temporary leave for health reasons immediately after becoming the 21st member of the National Assembly. If there was no space for him, the impeachment of the judge would have been promoted earlier.” “I am fortunate that the National Assembly does not abandon the duties of a judge who has violated the Constitution even now, and takes its own role,” he said. I think there should be more,” he concluded.
Supreme Commissioner Shin Dong-geun also remarked at the Democratic Party’s Supreme Council on the 1st, “The impeachment of a judge will be another big milestone in the history of democracy.” He said on Facebook the day before that he would support the impeachment prosecution of Judge Seong-geun Im. Said.
Chief Commissioner Shin pointed out, “Some people say that pursuing the impeachment proceedings for Deputy Judge Im Seong-geun is to tame judges, and it is against the separation of powers, but independence without checks and balance will make sanctuary.” He said, “In the field of impeachment of the President, claiming that the impeachment of a judge violates the separation of powers reveals only ignorance of the Constitution,” he said. “As a result, it is an anti-constitutional claim that sanctifies judges.”

Law spokesman Kim Han-gyu confessed in a Facebook post on the same day that “In fact, there are difficulties in the impeachment process for Judge Im Seong-geun.” He said, “If you do not apply for re-appointment that extends the term of a judge for 10 years, you cannot prevent retirement even if the impeachment proceeding is resolved,” he said. “Due to the’gap’ in the law, the Constitutional Court There is a high possibility of dismissing it, and that can give the impression that the regime is doing something wrong.”
However, legal counsel Kim said, “Even so, it is necessary to record a historical record so that the court itself violates the independence of the judiciary is an issue of the court’s own infringement on the independence of the judiciary It was a decision”. “Even if you decide to dismiss it, you can judge that the act in question is a’significant unconstitutional act’,” he said. “I hope that the constitution will do its part.”
House leader Kim Tae-nyeon, who was concerned about the worsening relations between the ruling and opposition parties ahead of the National Assembly in February, also decided to try to impeach the judge. Kwon Hyeok-ki, chief secretary of the House Representative, told reporters after the Supreme Council, “On the morning of the 1st, Kim signed an impeachment prosecution proposed by Rep. Lee Tan-hee.” “I signed it.”
Rep. Lee Tan-hee currently has more than 150 votes. He is scheduled to propose a prosecution for impeachment of Judge Seong-geun Lim at 4 pm on the same day after completing practical work such as finalizing the proposal.
