Pressure on Noh, including the right to veto special prosecutors… Korea focuses on minimizing confusion in government affairs
Instead of resting on the first weekend, listen to opinions… Expectations for the launch of the ruling and opposition party consultative body
Acting President Han Deok-soo’s regime marked a week on the 21st. Acting President Han is making efforts in various ways to reduce the aftermath of the martial law situation and ensure stable administration of state affairs.
Acting President Han took over presidential authority after the impeachment bill against President Yoon Seok-yeol was passed in the National Assembly on the 14th and is focusing on minimizing confusion in state affairs.
Immediately after the impeachment bill was passed, he began to control the situation by giving emergency instructions to all ministries and public officials, saying, “The government must do its best,” and emphasizing related responses to the cabinet.
At 7:24 p.m. on the 14th, immediately after President Yoon’s duties were suspended, an extraordinary Cabinet meeting was convened and he said, “We will do our best to ensure stable state administration in strict accordance with the Constitution and laws so that the security of the country and the daily lives of the people are not shaken.” revealed.
In his subsequent address to the public, he explained that he would minimize the related repercussions, saying, “As the Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea, I am keenly aware of the heavy responsibility for the current situation facing our people and the entire process that led to it.”
Like previous acting presidents, Acting President Han focused on managing state affairs by working at the Seoul Government Complex instead of going to the President’s Office.
We are taking a multifaceted approach, including directly talking to U.S. President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba to resolve diplomatic concerns, and talking to the heads of the four major domestic groups to resolve economic concerns.
Efforts are also being made to cooperate with the National Assembly. On the 15th, he met with National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik and pledged cooperation, and also met and spoke on the phone with People Power Party acting leader and floor leader Kwon Seong-dong and Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung. A high-level party and government council meeting was also held on the 20th.
However, one acting authority has been receiving ‘impeachment’ warnings from the Democratic Party all week due to the request for recommendation of a permanent special prosecutor candidate and the issue of reconsideration (veto) related to the civil war and Kim Kun-hee’s special prosecution law.
The Prime Minister’s Office maintains that it will decide on the issues in accordance with the ‘Constitution and law’, but is feeling the burden of pressure to impeach an acting president and public backlash.
Acting President Han is known to have no official external schedule this weekend, but is known to be working at the embassy instead of resting.
In particular, it is said that they are listening to legal and political advice from all walks of life on issues causing conflict between the ruling and opposition parties, and looking at related materials.
It is known that he is delivering articles and columns on related matters to his staff with the intention of ‘keeping them in mind’.

Fortunately, there are speculations that the People Power Party will change its policy to participate in the consultative body and that it will be launched soon.
A government official said, “We hope that the ruling and opposition party consultative body will be launched as soon as possible.”
