Regarding the ruling, Mayor Hong said, "If it is rejected, it will cause chaos, and if it is upheld, it will lead to political civil war." On the 18th, Mayor Hong appeared on his YouTube channel and announced the results of the impeachment proceedings against President Yoon.
In response to a question about the outcome of the bill and the possibility of early presidential elections, he said, "No one knows whether the impeachment will be approved or dismissed," as cited above.
Regarding President Yoon's plan to resolve the political situation if the impeachment is dismissed, he said, "Special measures will have to be taken.
President Yoon is probably working out a plan for what to do if he returns to power." However, he said that if he were to come up with a plan to amend the constitution, "the ruling and opposition parties would have to agree on it.
Is it possible for the ruling and opposition parties to reach an agreement at this point in time?” Mayor Hong responded to the question of who bears greater responsibility for the current national turmoil, saying that since the Yoon administration took office, the opposition parties have been the driving force behind the implementation of the plan.
Referring to the 29 impeachments imposed on him, he said, "This is a political outrage by a 192-seat opposition coalition. However, I believe this issue must be resolved politically by the president."
In response to a question asking, "Didn't the president not try to meet with the opposition party at all?", he replied, "That's what they call prosecutor politics," and added, "He was elected by the people as president straight away from being the prosecutor general.
"If a prosecutor (by nature of his job) finds evidence against someone, can he send them to jail?" he said. Regarding the outcome of the impeachment trial, he said, "Before the president is released, he will be found 100% guilty."
But after he was released, the atmosphere changed considerably." He continued, "The Supreme Court makes decisions purely based on legal principles, but the Constitutional Court is essentially political.
"It is an institution where political issues are given more importance than legal principles," he said.
