In the midst of martial law declared for the first time in 45 years, the National Assembly fulfilled its constitutional duty and protected democracy. The '12.3 martial law' planned by the president would have shaken the foundation of democracy if it had not been for the National Assembly's swift and decisive response. In this process, the Office of the Speaker of the National Assembly played an important role as the center of the legislative branch that transcended the ruling and opposition parties. Speaker Woo Won-sik coordinated the passage of the bill demanding the lifting of martial law, secured procedural legitimacy, and led the National Assembly's response. He made efficient and systematic decisions based on the opinions of his staff and aides, and contributed to maintaining the public's trust even under pressure from the martial law army. Even after martial law was lifted, the National Assembly did not let its guard down, prepared for the possibility of a second martial law, and reassured the public. Newstapa recorded the breathtaking moments of the National Assembly Speaker's Office protecting democracy after martial law was lifted. ※The National Assembly Secretary General who appears at around 1:41 in the video is Secretary General Jeong Myeong-ho.
