Heo Eun-ah "Opposed Impeachment but... Lee Sang-min Must Take Political Responsibility"
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Heo Eun-ah, a Supreme Council member candidate from the 'Lee Jun-seok faction,' cast a dissenting vote against the impeachment motion for Minister of the Interior and Safety Lee Sang-min, but emphasized that this does not absolve the minister of political responsibility and called for him to be held accountable.
On the 8th, Heo announced through her social media (SNS), "I voted against the impeachment motion for Minister Lee."
She stated, "It is not because Minister Lee is not responsible for the Halloween tragedy. Nor is it solely to prevent the judicial risk 'muddying' of Representative Lee Jae-myung," adding, "Because the impeachment procedure, which requires violations of the constitution and laws, only considers legal aspects, it cannot hold Minister Lee politically accountable."
