"The Need for National Unity Must Be Included"

Kwon Seong-dong, floor leader of the People Power Party, said on the 25th regarding President Yoon Seok-yeol's final argument in the impeachment trial, "There should be a public apology or sincere feelings included for causing inconvenience to the people and political instability due to the declaration of martial law."


On the same day, Kwon responded this way when asked by reporters at the National Assembly about what content should be included in President Yoon's final argument. He added, "It should include the part that the country must not be divided but unified through the impeachment verdict."

He also stated, "As one of the politicians who helped create the Yoon Seok-yeol government, I plan to attend the final argument as an observer."


Regarding the Constitutional Court's ruling, he said, "Although various predictions are emerging before the meeting has even started, the right attitude is to wait and see."


Meanwhile, Kwon expressed regret about the bridge collapse accident that occurred in Cheonan, Chungnam, Gyeonggi Province, on the morning of the same day, saying, "It was an accident that should never have happened, resulting in many casualties," and "I feel sorry as a member of the government and ruling party."



Kwon urged, "Despite repeatedly urging Choi Sang-mok, acting president and Minister of Economy and Finance, to appoint the Minister of National Defense and the Minister of the Interior and Safety, the refusal is neglecting his role," and added, "I hope once again that he takes responsibility and appoints the two ministers quickly."
