Korea: “On hold until the ruling and opposition parties come to an agreement”… Announcement of emergency statement, outright rejection of demands
野, three judges handle the motion alone
“Korea admits to ‘acting in rebellion’… “Immediate impeachment”
Faced with unprecedented impeachment in just 12 days
Acting President Han Deok-soo said on the 26th, “Is it in line with our constitutional order for an acting president to make a political decision without political agreement between the ruling and opposition parties?” and added, “We will hold off on appointing a Constitutional Court judge until the ruling and opposition parties agree and submit a plan.” The Democratic Party of Korea rejected the Democratic Party of Korea’s demand to appoint judges as soon as the motion to appoint three judges of the Constitutional Court passed the plenary session of the National Assembly on this day.
The Democratic Party immediately objected, saying, “This is an official statement that they will not appoint a Constitutional Court judge,” and proposed a bill to impeach an acting authority, reported it to the plenary session, and decided to vote on it at the plenary session of the National Assembly on the 27th. The original schedule of reporting on the 27th and then voting on the impeachment bill until the 30th was brought forward. An unprecedented situation occurred in which an acting president was also subject to impeachment just 12 days after the impeachment of President Yoon Seok-yeol and the inauguration of the acting president system, which not only caused chaos in government affairs but also made it inevitable for a strong-on-rivalry standoff between the ruling and opposition parties over the quorum for the impeachment of the acting president. .
Acting President Han made an emergency, unscheduled address to the public around 1:40 p.m., just before the plenary session of the National Assembly. He said, “It is a consistent spirit contained in our Constitution and laws that the acting president refrain from exercising the president’s significant inherent authority, including appointments to constitutional bodies,” and added, “If this authority must be exercised unavoidably, an agreement between the ruling and opposition parties must first be reached in the National Assembly.” “It is a custom that has never been broken in our constitutional history.” He added, “I firmly believe that politicians from the ruling and opposition parties will and must show such leadership,” adding, “If the ruling and opposition parties agree and submit a plan, I will immediately appoint a Constitutional Court judge.” Park Chan-dae, floor leader of the Democratic Party, said immediately after an acting representative’s address to the public, “It was a speech that acknowledged that he was not an acting representative, but an ‘acting insurrection.’” He added, “The right to veto (bill), which is the most active exercise of power, was exercised, and the constitutional court, which was the most formal exercise of power, was exercised.” He criticized, “He made sophistry by refusing to appoint.” At the same time, he announced that he would immediately impeach Acting President Han, saying, “It has become clear that Acting President Han is a key player in the civil war.”
At the plenary session of the National Assembly 90 minutes after Representative Han’s statement, the opposition party passed a motion to appoint candidates for Constitutional Court judges Ma Eun-hyuk, political Gye-seon, and Jo Han-chang, with the People Power Party lawmakers, except for four pro-Han Dong-hoon members, absent. Afterwards, Speaker of the National Assembly Woo Won-sik criticized Acting Authority Han, saying, “These three judges were recommended by agreement between the ruling and opposition parties,” and added, “It is lame to use the agreement between the ruling and opposition parties as an excuse for appointments made according to the procedure.”
