, ‘[Reported by Han Gwang-beom, Edaily] The Democratic Party has decided to pass a special prosecution law to investigate the December 3 martial law situation at the National Assembly plenary session on the 12th. The DP plans to conduct this in parallel with the already proposed permanent special investigation law and general special prosecution. Additionally, they will handle the impeachment bill against Justice Minister Park Sung-jae and Police Commissioner Jo Ji-ho on the same day.’,
,
, ‘Kang Yoo-jung, the floor spokesperson of the DP, briefed reporters at the National Assembly on the afternoon of the 8th, announcing the results of the parliamentary general meeting. According to Kang, the DP plans to propose the insurrection special investigation on the 9th and handle it at the plenary session on the 12th. Prior to this, the already proposed permanent special investigation on insurrection allegations will be resolved at the session on the 10th.’,
,
, ‘The DP plans to vote on the impeachment proposal against Justice Minister Park, who participated in a cabinet meeting discussing the martial law declaration, and Police Commissioner Jo, who ordered the blockade of the National Assembly during martial law, on the 12th. Both officials have expressed at the Assembly that they do not agree with accusations of insurrection.’,
,
, ‘Given the DP holds the majority in the Assembly, impeachment is almost certain unless they resign before the vote. Kang said, “We plan to report the impeachment bill against Justice Minister Park Sung-jae and Police Commissioner Jo Ji-ho related to the insurrection leader on the 10th and process it on the 12th.”’,
,
, ‘Initially, the DP also intended to impeach former Minister of the Interior and Safety, Lee Sang-min, who had appeared in the Security and Public Administration Committee and appeared to defend President Yoon Suk-yeol’s martial law declaration. However, his immediate resignation acceptance made this impossible. They are also considering an impeachment bill against Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, although they will decide after further investigation into his specific role in the martial law declaration process.’,
,
, ‘The DP will also pursue a parliamentary investigation related to the martial law situation. However, specific plans for this investigation have not been decided. Furthermore, they plan to aggressively question the administration through government inquiries and committee issue inquiries from the special session starting on the 11th regarding the martial law situation.’,
,
, ‘During the general assembly, there was a deluge of criticism against the People Power Party for not expelling President Yoon yet. Lawmakers voiced strong demands for immediate expulsion, questioning whether the party is still protecting the insurrection leader, calling it a manifestation of an unconstitutional and illegal party.’,
