[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Bae Jun-young, spokesperson for the People Power Party, stated on the 4th regarding the passage of the judge impeachment motion, "We have seen the true face of mob politics," and added, "Today's judge impeachment has no practical benefit."

In a commentary on the day, Spokesperson Bae said, "This is purely a punitive impeachment as an example," and "The ruling party lawmakers threw themselves into the quagmire of impeachment due to the incitement by Democratic Party lawmaker Lee Tan-hee, who did not even know that the judge subject to impeachment would finish his term in February."

He continued, "If it were not for the complicity and assistance of Chief Justice Kim Myung-soo, today's result would not have occurred," and emphasized, "There are still a series of trials that will determine the fate of this administration, including former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk's alleged admission fraud, suspicions of economic manipulation of Wolseong Unit 1, the Blue House's interference in the Ulsan mayoral election, and Governor Kim Kyung-soo's alleged manipulation of Druking comments," calling it "an impeachment for the regime."

He said, "Article 65 of the Constitution regulates the subjects, procedures, and effects of impeachment. According to Article 130, Paragraph 1 of the National Assembly Act rooted in the Constitution, when an impeachment motion is proposed, the Speaker reports it at the first plenary session convened after the proposal, and the plenary session may refer it to the Legislation and Judiciary Committee for investigation by resolution," adding, "The Democratic Party and its second faction forcibly nullified even these legal procedures by majority power and carried out an excessive impeachment."

Spokesperson Bae stated, "The true targets the people want to impeach are not the 'frontline judges' but those 'who have made the lives of the people difficult,'" and concluded, "Now history, the people, and the Democratic Party will be impeached."
