Chapter 412: Impeachment

Dongfang Lan's matter, Yi Xingchen couldn't care about immersing himself in this emotion for a few days, and then there was enough for him to be busy.

A few days ago, Rénia seemed to be covered with a strange atmosphere of noise, and it continued for several days.

This is because, as if an appointment had been made, all of a sudden, several major news media such as the Reunion TV news channel, the Reunion evening newspaper, and the Reunion Economic Daily took the lead, together with some large and small newspapers and periodicals in various parts of Rénia, a total of no less than a dozen media, suddenly concentrated on reporting several relatively major economic crimes, embezzlement, and other similar crimes in Rénia! The concentrated reporting of the same type of cases suddenly seemed to lead the trend of the press, making the headlines in almost the entire livelihood of the people in Rénia the topic of economic crimes such as corruption and bribery.

This has not only become the most talked point among the public after dinner, but also makes the public inevitably feel that this kind of illegal and criminal behavior seems to be concentrated around them all at once.

The center of this kind of topic, under the discussion and dissemination of the people several times, gradually moved closer to the core and top of the government. Soon, driven by the deliberate exaggeration of the media, the people of Rénia naturally began to pay attention to the leaders of the national government, and therefore, some people began to think that not long ago, there were several media reports criticizing the administration of Rénian President Daniel. At that time, all kinds of criticisms were directed at President Daniel and his administration, and many of them pointed out that President Daniel was not honest in government.

Criticizing President Daniel is tantamount to criticizing the entire DPRK government. So, at that time. It was a sensation. So. There has been a frenzy of media coverage these days. Once again, it brings out the topic of the day.

At this moment, the people of Rénia, after thinking about it, seemed to have discovered a great political stain and seen a huge corrupt element. Then, from nowhere, the people gradually began to question the president.

A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen. Subsequently. Before the convening of the parliamentary session, the Rénian evening newspaper unleashed another bombshell and threw out a particularly big news item with ironclad evidence: The president's relatives are suspected of embezzlement and embezzlement of state property, and the president's relatives have committed criminal crimes and have not been properly punished

The political chaos of the past has reappeared all of a sudden, and this time, the spearhead of everything is once again pointed at President Daniel.

However, the difference is that President Daniel this time. It's not easy to be left alone.

After the news report, there was a real strong reaction from the people. And not just a few complaints after dinner.

First of all, the young college students were outraged. First, more than a dozen college students marched on the streets as student representatives, demanding that the government thoroughly investigate the corruption and crimes related to the president and safeguard the duties and integrity of the national government.

Second, people from all walks of life have also followed various channels to arouse public opinion, and they have strongly urged President Daniel to conform to public opinion and personally face the public as soon as possible to explain all reports.

Wave after wave of opposition rushed towards the presidential palace of Rénia like a tsunami, as if it was about to smash the presidential palace to pieces, until all the rewards and punishments were implemented, and until all the responsibilities that should be undertaken were clearly understood.

This time, it's definitely different from the last time.

In fact, under the instruction of Yi Xingchen, the Xinghua Think Tank used a large amount of money to use all the black materials provided by Vice President Russell, and conducted an intensive search and covert tracking of President Daniel and his personal connections according to the movements of all the relevant personnel and all the events involved.

After some action, Xinghua Think Tank really obtained a lot of evidence of under-the-table transactions, and thus uncovered a lot of actions about President Daniel, but it has never been known, so as to carefully concoct a news serial drama for President Daniel.

However, in addition to those media outlets that deliberately leaked these secrets by the Xinghua Think Tank, some media outlets that were dissatisfied with the ruling party also cooperated to a high degree at this time, and many television stations also set up some special interview programs for this purpose, inviting some highly individual politicians to discuss some of the policies and policies of some countries in Rénia, and also intentionally or unintentionally expounding on some of the actions of the top government leaders in power, which is virtually tantamount to adding salt and vinegar to this drama.

The upsurge of discussion continues.

Soon, it was the day of the council.

The Parliament Hall of Rénia is a two-storey building that is not tall, but it covers a large area.

At 8:30 a.m., Yi Xingchen, under the protection of Allen, Yan En and others, as well as accompanied by Tari, arrived safely at the door of the council hall.

At this time, other members of the council had already arrived from all directions, waiting for the convening of the council.

Because this is a high-level meeting of the state, the parliament prohibits non-members from entering, so as not to disrupt the order of the parliament, so Allen, Yan En and others can only stay outside the lobby and are not allowed to enter with Yi Xingchen.

In this regard, Yi Xingchen just laughed it off and didn't care at all. However, he did not linger at the door for long, and walked into the council hall alone, like the other councillors.

When Yi Xingchen walked into the spacious parliament hall, he found that at this time, about one-third of the seats in the council hall were already full.

Yi Xingchen probably looked around, but found that few of the councilors here were known to him. In fact, since becoming a councilor, Yi Xingchen has indeed rarely performed his duties as a councilor, and it is all Tari and other teams who are running on his behalf, so these people are unfamiliar to him, but it is inevitable.

Therefore, Yi Xingchen originally thought that he would come to sit with him today, and there should be nothing for him. Unexpectedly, not long after he sat down, several councillors came over and greeted him.

Yi Xingchen got up politely and communicated with them, only to know that these councilors were famous for several good deeds of Yi Xingchen, and asked Yi Xingchen if there were any new initiatives. There are also these parliamentarians who have no intersection of interests with Yi Xingchen, and at the same time, they are all very obvious non-party figures, and they want to win over Yi Xingchen.

Yi Xingchen had no ill will towards them. We are also happy to maintain a good relationship with everyone. He stood up and talked with them for a while about the development of Rénia.

After another moment. The Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Standing Members of the Parliament were all present.

Yi Xingchen and the parliamentarians separated and sat down in their respective positions.

Then, a person who surprised Yi Xingchen appeared.

Russell, as vice president, stood on the podium and presided over the parliament.

First, Russell began to roll call. On the parliamentary side, sure enough, to all the parliamentarians. Take a roll call. A few members of parliament who were not present arranged for someone to take leave.

After the roll call, Russell called the meeting to order.

The main topic of the conference was: the future development of Rénia...... in Russell's presentation, which involved the revision of national laws, the international positioning of Rénia, and an international law of the sea.

Yi Xingchen listened to it for a long time and felt bored.

These things don't seem to have anything to do with him.

While Yi Xingchen was bored, he became more and more vigilant. He really doubted it. Someone took advantage of the meeting to lure him back.

But. Yi Xingchen guessed that President Daniel would not make a move in the parliament hall. He left the council hall, and it was a good time to do it.

In the next two hours, Yi Xingchen kept listening to the speeches on the stage, raising his hand after speaking, and not raising his hand when he was in a bad mood......

Two hours later, the discussion was over, and Yi Xingchen thought it was almost over.

Unbeknownst to him, the Speaker spoke up and convened an emergency meeting.

"Fifteen members of parliament have just proposed to initiate the process of impeaching the president......"

There was an uproar in the parliament.

Yi Xingchen was also very surprised, his eyes found Russell, and found that Russell was also looking at him. Although Russell was expressionless, Yi Xingchen noticed that he was abnormal.

Obviously, he was aware of the impeachment of the president.

Perhaps, impeaching the president was the work of Russell's group.

Yi Xingchen finally understood Russell's plan.

Daniel used this council to lure Yi Xingchen back, and Russell and the others used this council to make Daniel stink in one fell swoop. The impeachment of this president, as long as it is initiated, regardless of whether President Daniel is guilty or not guilty, he is a suspect in front of the public, and he has lost the support of the people, and he will definitely not be able to participate in the next term.

Russell's next presidential election will greatly increase their chances of winning.

In short, Yi Xingchen is also a person who is being used.

However, even if Yi Xingchen knew that he was being used, he would not object. Because the resignation of President Daniel is good for him. Russell and they probably won't provoke Yi Xingchen too much, after all, Yi Xingchen is rich and has a certain channel of public opinion.

Of course, Yi Xingchen has always been wary of Russell. He didn't want to be taken advantage of, and he had to be kept in the dark. Otherwise, next time, you will definitely die an ugly death.

A congressman took the stage to tell the story of President Daniel's wrongdoings and presented some evidence. According to the Constitution of Rénia, no government department can investigate a president while he is in office. Only when the parliament initiates the impeachment process can the relevant authorities intervene in the investigation, and then the justices of the Supreme Court will hear the case. The justices, in accordance with the law, determine whether the president is guilty or not. Once the presidency is found guilty, the parliament removes the president from office under the chairmanship of the speaker and declares the vice president to preside over the state for an interim period until a new presidential election begins.

Yi Xingchen watched the respective performances of the parliamentarians of Rénia with the mentality of watching the play. In the lobby, some people were scolding and questioning angrily from time to time, indicating that the congressmen on the stage were talking nonsense. Others are in agreement, saying that everyone is equal before the law. The entire council hall is like a wet market. If it weren't for the special loudspeaker on the podium, Yi Xingchen might not have heard the above accusations.

The biggest complaint against President Daniel is economic crime. Fifteen members of parliament have reason to suspect that President Daniel has arranged for his relatives to illegally intervene in several state projects to make huge profits.

The whole complaint speech took another full hour.

Then, Yi Xingchen thought that the meeting was coming to an end.

Unexpectedly, the speaker of the parliament announced that he had sent someone to invite President Daniel to the parliament to personally argue for him. If President Daniel's argument is not accepted by the majority of the lawmakers, and a majority of the lawmakers vote in favor of opening impeachment proceedings, President Daniel will be in trouble. In fact, Yi Xingchen believes that President Daniel is already in trouble.

The development of things is no longer a struggle between Yi Xingchen and Daniel, but a struggle in the political aspect of a country.

Yi Xingchen didn't speak, still sitting quietly in the lobby, watching everyone's performance, waiting for Daniel's arrival.

President Daniel did not keep the lawmakers present waiting. Such a big matter, the parliamentarians in the lobby, will not fail to inform President Daniel.

After the parliamentarians finished their complaints on the stage, the parliamentarians discussed for another half hour, and President Daniel arrived at the meeting.

"I am innocent!" President Daniel denied all charges against him.

But can you explain your role in these things? A lawmaker stood up and questioned President Daniel.

"The people involved in this are indeed my relatives, but their actions have nothing to do with me, and whether their actions are illegal or not requires a court conviction. President Daniel said.

"Speaker and members of Parliament, I think President Daniel's problem is very serious, even serious enough to affect the credibility of the government. His news circulated throughout the country and was reprinted abroad. In the minds of the people, our president is a corrupt man. That's something I can't tolerate! Nobody wants their elected president to be a selfish president. Only a clear investigation can clear all suspicions. So, I propose that the presidential impeachment process should be initiated. Of course, even if there is no impeachment, the integrity department will investigate the relevant incidents. The same is to change the president's innocence. ”

Some lawmakers are secretly changing their concepts, trying to persuade parliament to agree to impeachment in the name of restoring the president's innocence.

President Daniel was not fooled, and he said: "If I am innocent, why do I have to initiate impeachment." Moreover, none of these accusations are substantiated. Once the impeachment is initiated, won't it send the wrong signal to the people that I am suspicious?!"

"Yes! The president is right!"

"The dignity of the president is the dignity of the country, and we cannot afford to lose face. ”

Some of the pro-Daniel parliamentarians shouted.

Yi Xingchen smiled coldly, Daniel said that he was innocent, but he didn't believe it at all. If he is innocent, no matter what, he will not seal the factory at will, and even send a warship to arrange a killer to kill him.

Yi Xingchen wanted to speak out and choked Daniel a few words. But he can see clearly that the protagonist in the lobby today is not him, but Russell and the forces behind him.

Yi Xingchen continued to observe, and he looked at President Daniel.

President Daniel also saw Yi Xingchen, and his face was full of anger. The situation that caused him today is inseparable from Yi Xingchen's several struggles. However, he really didn't expect that a Chinese immigrant would collude with local forces and launch an attack on him.

Yi Xingchen smiled at President Daniel, and his anger was extremely comfortable. (To be continued......)
