general assembly of Democratic Party lawmakers prepared to discuss the impeachment of Minister Lee Sang-min.



Unlike the recent General Assembly, which only lasted around 30 minutes, it lasted for over two and a half hours.



This is because as many as 17 lawmakers, who usually spared their words, applied for free speech.



Floor leader Park Hong-geun emphasized that the impeachment motion should be adopted as a party argument, but



[Park Hong-geun/Democratic Party floor leader: We must judge only the responsibility of the state and politics for the life and safety of the people.

We will gather the party's consensus on the censure of Minister Lee Sang-min through today's general assembly.]



While sympathizing with the need for impeachment, there were concerns that it could face a backlash if dismissed by the Constitutional Court.



There were also complaints about the national report meeting to be held tomorrow.



People have to take care of people's livelihoods, such as skyrocketing heating costs, but there are also concerns that if you are immersed in off-site struggles, you may be trapped in a bulletproof frame, and there are also complaints that it is practically difficult to fulfill the party's instructions to allocate the number of attendees to fill the seats.



There were also voices that the party leadership should improve the communication method in the direction of collecting opinions with sufficient time rather than one-sided notification.



Representative Lee Jae-myeong kept his seat until the end of the general meeting and watched the situation where the voices within the party, which had been quiet under the slogan of'Unity', erupted.



The Democratic Party plans to propose an impeachment bill as a party argument after further process of collecting opinions within the party.



In addition, they agreed to persuade and promote the opposition parties such as the Justice Party so that the 'Kim Kun-hee Special Prosecution Act' could be put on a fast track.
