On the 27th, CEO Lee visited forest fire victims' shelters in succession around Uiseong, Cheongsong, and Yeongyang in Gyeongsangbuk-do. Shortly after being acquitted by an appeals court on charges of violating the Public Official Election Act the previous day, he visited his hometown of Andong and traveled around North Gyeongsang Province for one night and two days. At the same time, floor leader Park stayed at the tent headquarters in Gwanghwamun, Seoul, and focused on the impeachment phase. On this day, floor leader Park said, "We have decided to share our roles," and added, "Representative Lee will strive to recover from the forest fires, and I will strive to suppress the forest fires of civil war."
In fact, Lee did not mention the impeachment trial in North Gyeongsang Province. The focus is on supplementary budget or support for damage recovery while touring the forest fire site. Representative Lee visited the site of the Gowoonsa Temple and promised that "the National Assembly will do its best not to worry about the budget for the affected areas."
The Democratic Party decided to push for an "extra budget for wildfires." Jin Sung-joon, chairman of the Democratic Party's policy committee, said, "The economy and people's livelihoods are difficult due to the martial law, and to make matters worse, the damage to life and property caused by forest fires is gradually increasing," adding, "We will push for an extra forest fire to take sufficient measures and prevent recurrence."
Representative Lee will also begin his right-click move on security. He will visit Daejeon National Cemetery on the 28th to mark the West Sea Protection Day. It is the first time that Lee will attend the West Sea Protection Day ceremony.
On the other hand, the floor leadership continued to press the Constitutional Court. Floor leader Park criticized, "The delay in the impeachment sentence is increasing public anxiety, social confusion, and economic damage," adding, "Shouldn't we at least reveal the reason for the delay in the sentence?"
National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik, a former member of the Democratic Party of Korea, also issued a statement on the same day, criticizing the Constitutional Court one by one. Chairman Woo said, "As the sentencing date is prolonged, confusion is deepening and the national capacity is exhausted," adding, "It is not a normal constitutional order that the majority of the people complain of anxiety and the community base continues to falter due to the division of public opinion."
