Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol. yunhap news
– Lee Seok-hyun, a former member of the Democratic Party, who served as vice-chairman of the National Assembly said on the 26th that “there are the ruling party leaders claiming the impeachment of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, but it may not be a good strategy.”
Lee said on Facebook this afternoon, saying, “In the case of the National Assembly, the request for impeachment of the President is resolved with 151 seats, which is the majority of the National Assembly, so the current seats are sufficient, but the Constitutional Court is difficult.”
On the 24th, when Yoon returned to work due to the court’s decision, some of the passports raised an allegation that’the National Assembly should prepare for impeachment’. Since then, it has been analyzed that the proposal for impeachment against President Yun, both inside and outside the political sphere, will not be accepted by the Constitutional Court even if it passes the National Assembly.
Rep. Lee agreed with this point and pointed out, “It is difficult to agree with more than 6 members to attend 7 or more of the 9 judges in the Constitution.”
He said, “Impeachment is a procedure for dismissing a high-ranking official, and the fact that the disciplinary committee of Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae gave two months of suspension without dismissal or dismissal is a major obstacle to the decision of impeachment. The reason for impeachment will end with the expiration of the term of office.”
He also advised, “It is now the National Assembly’s job to be separated from the prosecution’s authority and electing a conscious airlift chief rather than impeachment with a loud voice. .
Democratic Party spokesman Huh Young said on Facebook that day, “impeachment has the potential to lead to the dismissal of the constitution,” and “we must control our emotions.”
Spokesman Huh said, “We must not provide the excuse for headwinds. The legal justification must be thoroughly laid.” “Let’s completely separate the investigation and prosecution, and openly appoint prosecutors and judges. Let’s strengthen the jury system and clarify the separation of powers more.”
