The reason for the impeachment of President Yoon Seok-yeol is that he violated the National Security Law, and he accused Representative Lee. On the 9th, Rep. Lee held a press conference in front of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office and said, "'President Yoon has called North Korea an enemy.'
Citing the fact that Lee "has been confronted with a criminal offense" as a reason for impeachment is a clear violation of the National Security Act, they said, adding, "Representative Lee will be charged with violating the National Security Act."
Rep. Lee said, "The impeachment bill, which was supposed to be voted on on the 7th of this month, states that 'under the guise of value diplomacy, geopolitical balance has been ignored.
The reason cited for the impeachment was that he had viewed North Korea, China, and Russia as enemies.
"In May of last year, he said, 'We should impeach Yoon Seok-yeol and send him to prison for 100 years,' and he has mentioned the impeachment of President Yoon more than 70 times until April of this year.
Rep. Lee said, "Representative Lee accepted North Korea's impeachment demands at face value and pushed for impeachment on the grounds that 'President Yoon viewed North Korea as an enemy,' which is a violation of Article 7 of the National Security Act.
"This is a violation of the National Security Law," he said, "and we will file criminal charges against Lee for violating the National Security Law." He continued, "The impeachment proceedings are being brought in order to avoid the legal risk for Lee himself.
"It's a coup," he said, adding, "Impeaching a president elected by the people in order to avoid legal risks for himself and to carry out orders from North Korea is in itself a civil war."
