Democratic Party Pushes Party Resolution for 'Impeachment of Lee Jin-sook'... Park Chan-dae Says "Final Judgment Approaches"

Opposition Likely to Vote on Lee Jin-sook Impeachment Tomorrow
'Nationwide 250,000 Won Support Fund Act' to Be Processed First

The Democratic Party of Korea reported the impeachment motion against Lee Jin-sook, Chairperson of the Korea Communications Commission, at the plenary session on the afternoon of the 1st, and announced that they would pass the '25,000 KRW Support Law for All Citizens' and the 'Yellow Envelope Act (Amendments to Articles 2 and 3 of the Labor Union Act)'. The vote on the impeachment motion against Chairperson Lee is planned to take place after passing the '25,000 KRW Support Law for All Citizens', which is expected to be processed the following day (the 2nd).

Park Chan-dae, Acting Leader of the Democratic Party, stated, "President Yoon Seok-yeol forcibly appointed Chairperson Lee, who is unfit for public office, and immediately after her appointment, she pushed through the appointment of directors for KBS and the Korea Broadcast Culture Promotion Foundation (the major shareholder of MBC) under an illegal 'dual leadership' system." He harshly criticized this as "a clear illegality and a blatant attempt to seize control of the broadcasting system, a violent act against democracy." He added, "I return to Chairperson Lee the writings she brought to the confirmation hearing," and said, "The final judgment is approaching for the collaborators."

At 1:20 p.m. that day, the Democratic Party will officially endorse the impeachment motion against Chairperson Lee as the party stance at a members' meeting. Immediately afterward, the motion will be submitted to the National Assembly Secretariat, and it will be reported at the plenary session at 2 p.m. After reporting the impeachment motion, unlimited debate on the '25,000 KRW Support Law for All Citizens' will begin, and the Democratic Party is expected to conclude the debate the following afternoon. After the law is passed the next afternoon, the vote on the impeachment motion against Chairperson Lee is anticipated.

Jin Sung-jun, Chairperson of the Policy Committee, described the '25,000 KRW Support Law for All Citizens' to be introduced that day as "an economic policy to revitalize local small businesses suffering from recession and to boost domestic consumption." He continued, "How long will the People Power Party continue to follow only Yoon's will rather than public sentiment?" and urged, "This time, I call on them to withdraw their unlimited debate and cooperate in passing this livelihood bill." Furthermore, he emphasized, "If the president continues to abuse the veto power, neglecting the people's livelihood and shaking the constitutional order of separation of powers established by the Constitution, the people will reject the president."
