[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the People Power Party, announced that he will discuss whether to propose an impeachment motion against Chief Justice Kim Myung-soo.

Floor leader Joo said at the party meeting held in the National Assembly Budget and Accounts Special Committee room immediately after the plenary session on the 1st, "The ruling party is said to submit a motion to impeach judges today," adding, "Our party intends to discuss today whether to propose an impeachment motion against Chief Justice Kim Myung-soo, who has been reported by all Supreme Court justices for flooding rulings favorable to the regime and illegally delaying rulings related to the April 15 fraudulent election."

He continued, "Chief Justice Kim Myung-soo cannot escape responsibility for damaging the independence and neutrality of the judiciary and allowing external political influence to permeate throughout the courts," and pointed out, "The abuse of personnel authority and political appointments at the Supreme Court have already surpassed the previous administration’s evils that this regime labeled as deep-rooted corruption."

He also claimed, "The ruling party is pushing for the impeachment of judges retiring at the end of February to shackle the judiciary," and added, "It seems they are bringing this up as a means to tame and intimidate the judiciary, even though they know there is absolutely no chance the Constitutional Court will accept the impeachment motion."

Floor leader Joo expressed his determination to open the party meeting by saying, "I have already been gathering various materials in preparation for Kim Myung-soo’s impeachment for several months," and "I will collect opinions from many lawmakers at today’s party meeting."
