People Power Party lawmaker Cho Kyung-tae, who voted in favor of President Yoon Seok-yeol’s impeachment motion, said on the 5th, “It is truly shocking that there are still prominent figures who are not sure whether martial law is unconstitutional or illegal.” Regarding the decision of the National Assembly impeachment prosecution team, composed of opposition party members, to exclude ‘criminal treason under the criminal law’ from the grounds for impeaching the president, Rep. Cho expressed his intention to virtually accept it, saying, “Constitutional content and criminal content must be distinguished.”
.
Regarding the party’s argument that the impeachment bill excluding the ‘crime of treason’ is invalid and must be re-approved, Rep. Cho said, “Wouldn’t it be reasonable to impeach the unconstitutional emergency martial law (just for that alone)?” and “The constitutional law judged by the Constitutional Court “The content and the criminal law related to treason should be separated, and I think it is for the benefit of the people that the impeachment situation caused by this emergency martial law is resolved as soon as possible,” he said.
The People Power Party’s leadership and senior lawmakers plan to visit the Constitutional Court in protest after the emergency committee meeting on the 6th and demand that the impeachment article should not be amended. Regarding this, Representative Cho said, “Why do I have to go?” and “If I go, I should go to ask for an end to this issue (impeachment trial) quickly, and not as if I’m delaying it.”
