The government held a Cabinet meeting and decided to propose to the president a request for reconsideration and the exercise of the so-called veto on the Kim Gun-hee independent counsel law.

If President Yoon Suk Yeol approves this, it will be the third veto of the Kim Special Prosecutor Act.

I'll connect you to a reporter for more information.

Reporter Park Hee-jae,

We are in the process of exercising our veto power on the Special Prosecutor's Office Act, so please tell us the relevant information first.

Yes, the government held a cabinet meeting presided over by Prime Minister Han Deok-soo at 10 a.m. today,

The opposition party voted on a bill calling for re-discussion of the National Assembly on Kim Gun-hee's independent counsel bill, which was handled exclusively at the plenary session of the National Assembly on the 14th.

If President Yoon Suk Yeol approves this, he will exercise his third veto only on the Special Prosecutor Act related to Kim.

Prime Minister Han Deok-soo said in a statement at the Cabinet meeting,

The opposition party criticized that it unilaterally passed the Kim Gun-hee Special Prosecutor Act without any consultation with the ruling party.

At the same time, the special prosecutor bill violated the constitutional principle of separation of powers and the principle of exceptionality of the special prosecutor system,
It pointed out that unconstitutionality is obvious because it could undermine the foundation of the
judicial system.

Because of this, he explained that he made two requests for reconsideration before, and was later rejected in both the National Assembly's re-decision and disposed of.

Prime Minister Han said he is very sorry and sorry that the opposition party has again passed the independent counsel bill, which has not been resolved unconstitutionality.

He also criticized the elements of the special prosecution bill passed this time, pointing out one by one.

This time, the right to recommend candidates for special prosecution was revised by the "Chief Justice of the Supreme Court",
If the candidate recommended by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
is deemed inappropriate, the opposition party may reject the right to veto the right to veto it indefinitely,
Only formal appearance of
three-party recommendation,

In effect, he said he made it possible for the opposition to control the recommendation of special counsel candidates.

Let's listen to the relevant information for a while.

[Han Deok-soo / Prime Minister: Due to the high level of unconstitutionality, we cannot help but ask why the opposition party wants to pass the independent counsel bill, which was abolished twice in the National Assembly.]

In this regard, Prime Minister Han Deok-soo turned to the opposition party,
Knowing that the government's right to demand reconsideration is inevitable for the independent counsel bill that conflicts with the
Constitution,

Rather, if the intention is to encourage this and put pressure on the state affairs, the government and the National Assembly protested that it was not the right thing to do to the people that they would work together to live a difficult life.

He also emphasized the legitimacy of the exercise of the right to demand reconsideration, saying that the right to demand reconsideration is almost the only means for the president to check the abuse of the legislature's authority.

Earlier, President Yoon said at a press conference on the 7th that the investigation into Kim had already been carried out sufficiently, but the prosecution had not even been able to prosecute him,

Nevertheless, he expressed his intention to exercise his third veto, saying that it is a constitutional idea to appoint an independent counsel against the president and the ruling party.
