Floor Leader Kwon denied reports that he had spoken with President Yoon Seok-yeol. He said, "I have not spoken with him. I cannot understand how such a report came out."

Regarding impeachment, he stated, "Before I became the floor leader, the party's official stance was decided to oppose impeachment, and to change that, procedures according to the party constitution and regulations are necessary."

Floor Leader Kwon said, "To change it, a general assembly of lawmakers must be held, and more than two-thirds must agree to change the party stance."

Discussions related to changing the impeachment stance are scheduled for 10 a.m. on the 14th, the day of the impeachment vote. Floor Leader Kwon said, "First, we will listen to the opinions of the lawmakers on whether to revise or change the opposition stance on impeachment, and also on whether to enter the plenary session to vote. We plan to hear the lawmakers' opinions on this as well."
