“What kind of aftermath did the impeachment of former President Roh Moo-hyun face?”
“Difficult problem causing rapid changes in the political situation”
“It is necessary to discuss the third-party special prosecutor bill by Han Dong-hoon”,
Democratic Party lawmaker Jung Sung-ho attending the National Assembly plenary session in May. ⓒNewsis, ‘[Daily Economic News = Kim Eun-ji Reporter] Democratic Party 5-term senior member and a ‘political ally’ of former leader Lee Jae-myung, lawmaker Jung Sung-ho expressed a ‘cautious view’ regarding the ongoing talk of President Yoon Suk-yeol’s impeachment in the opposition, stating that “Impeachment is not a matter for Democratic Party lawmakers or the National Assembly.” The overwhelming public opinion is interpreted as a concern for backlash or consolidation of the opposing camp unless it is supported by a significant portion of the public.’,
,
, ‘On the morning of the 1st, lawmaker Jung appeared on KBS Radio’s ‘Sudden Current Affairs’ and emphasized that “(Impeachment is) something that the people can do,” stating that “The president is not elected by the Democratic Party or the National Assembly. The people elected him.”‘,
,
, ‘He then pointed out that “(Impeachment) can only be done when there is a reason that many people believe ‘It is not appropriate for this person to continue as president and carry out the duties of the presidency’.” He raised the question of what kind of aftermath occurred after the joint impeachment of former President Roh Moo-hyun by the opposition parties, stressing that “It is not an easy problem,” and reiterated that “Impeachment of the president should be approached very carefully because it ultimately leads to rapid changes in the political situation.”‘,

, “On that day, lawmaker Jung also emphasized the need to accept the proposal of the ‘third-party special prosecutor bill’ by Han Dong-hoon related to the ‘Chae Sang-byeong Special Prosecutor.’,
,
, ‘Jung said, “When Han Dong-hoon previously mentioned the third-party special prosecutor bill, I took the position of ‘We should discuss it more actively’ and ‘It is possible to accept it’,” recalling that he received a lot of criticism within the party.’,
,
, ‘He then questioned, “Even though I was criticized, why can’t the National Assembly discuss it? Ultimately, the most important thing is that this is not just a tragic event, but something that should not happen,” he said.’,
,
, ‘He stressed, “In dealing with this issue, it is not strategic for both the ruling and opposition parties to assess the situation, but the most important thing is to clarify the truth. It is necessary for both sides to discuss this matter at the table.”‘,
,
, ‘However, regarding this matter, the camp of Lee Jae-myung, a Democratic Party presidential candidate, drew a line the previous day, stating, “We have not considered accepting the third-party recommendation for the ‘Chae Sang-byeong Special Prosecutor Bill.”‘](https://translate.google.com)
