A resolution urging the impeachment of lawmaker Lee Jin-sook has finally passed a plenary session of the National Assembly. The host stated, "The resolution urging impeachment passed the plenary session of the National Assembly today."
This impeachment resolution does not have immediate legal effect. However, it is interpreted as having a strong political warning.
Four lawmakers belonging to the People Power Party participated in the vote on this impeachment resolution. The host mentioned, "First of all, four people from the People Power Party also participated in the vote."
The People Power Party lawmakers who participated in the vote are Cho Kyung-tae, Kim Ye-ji, Woo Jae-joon, and Han Ji-ah, all of whom are classified as being associated with Han Dong-hoon. It is presumed that at least two of them cast affirmative votes for the resolution.
The possibility that lawmaker Han Ji-ah cast an affirmative vote on this impeachment resolution has been raised. The host stated, "It seems that lawmaker Han Ji-ah cast an affirmative vote."
This presumption is based on the fact that lawmaker Han Ji-ah has often expressed a desire for lawmaker Lee Jin-sook's expulsion.
It has been pointed out that the People Power Party's continued protection of lawmaker Lee Jin-sook could act as a risk to the entire party. The host commented, "Ultimately, if this happens, the People Power Party will increasingly become isolated as an extreme right-wing party."
Concerns are growing that if the People Power Party continues to protect lawmaker Lee Jin-sook, the party's image as an extreme right-wing party will be reinforced, leading to political isolation.
Separately from the push to impeach lawmaker Lee Jin-sook, a bill to suspend the qualification of National Assembly members is being discussed. The hosts explained the situation, saying, "They are also currently pursuing a bill that can suspend qualifications for one year."
If this bill passes, lawmaker Lee Jin-sook will be unable to perform her duties as a National Assembly member for one year, and the hosts believe this measure would be a significant blow.
A review is being conducted on the disadvantages that could arise during the period of a National Assembly member's qualification suspension. The host said, "It's possible there could be disadvantages regarding how salary is paid during the qualification suspension period, and whether they can buy bread with a corporate card, if they even have one. These are things that could be restricted."
Key disadvantages mentioned include the possibility of restrictions on salary payment and limits on activities as a National Assembly member, such as corporate card usage.
