Then, with reporter Geon-hwi Kim, who serves the National Assembly, let’s take a closer look at the situation after the dismissal motion was passed.
Reporter Kim, the presidential office did not respond, but should we continue to see President Yoon Seok-yeol’s veto as a fait accompli?
◀ Reporter ▶
Yes, didn’t President Seok-Yeol Yoon say words of encouragement to Minister Lee Sang-min several times?
As there are no signs of a change in airflow, the observation that it is only a matter of time is strong.
That’s the difference between rejecting the offer to dismiss immediately tomorrow or leaving a little leeway.

When the motion to dismiss Foreign Minister Park Jin was passed at the end of last September, didn’t the President’s office express its intention to reject it as soon as it was notified the next day?
◀ Reporter ▶
But this time, the variable is that the negotiations on next year’s budget have not been completed.
If you express your refusal immediately, the Democratic Party will immediately pursue impeachment prosecution, and the budget bill may be further twisted.
After the dismissal motion was passed, a high-profile party-government meeting was held today to discuss countermeasures.
An official from the presidential office said in a phone call with MBC, “The proposal has no obligation to express its position until when, and we will discuss it while watching.”
Rather than an immediate response, it seems that it could be in the form of meditation for several days.

ok On the other hand, the power of members of the people’s parliamentary inquiry resigned from their positions in opposition to the dismissal bill today.
So, was the ruling party in the lead in rejecting the government’s investigation?
◀ Reporter ▶
It seems hard to see that your collective resignation will necessarily lead to a denial or suspension of the government’s investigation.
Once the members resigned, I delegated what to do in the future to the hospital leaders.
Also, as I mentioned earlier, aren’t there discussions underway over next year’s budget?
In the end, from the ruling party’s point of view, participation in the government inquiry is likely to be used as negotiating leverage.
In addition, if the government’s own investigation fails, there will be concerns about work and critical public opinion, so it is burdensome to go all the way to a complete rejection.
However, it is inevitable that the investigation timetable will be disrupted.
As it was originally decided to hold hearings and field investigations immediately after the budget bill was processed, the actual activity period is inevitably shortened by the delay in the budget bill.

In the end, it seems that whether to agree on the budget bill will be the threshold or not, but nail down the deadline by the Speaker of the National Assembly, Kim Jin-pyo, by the 15th, right?
◀ Reporter ▶
Yes, the ruling and opposition parties are not narrowing their positions on the biggest issue, corporate tax cuts.
The ruling party wants to reduce the burden on companies by lowering the top tax rate, and the opposition is fighting to reduce the tax burden on small and medium-sized enterprises, not large corporations, in order to reduce corporate tax .
With the dismissal bill passed today, the opposition parties had a cooling off period while skipping discussions.
In the end, the government’s investigation into the 10.29 disaster and the subsequent measures to dismiss Minister Lee Sang-min are intricately intertwined in the budget bill, and the battle between the ruling and opposition parties is fierce
In the current situation, it seems difficult to guarantee processing on the 15th.
