Prime Minister Han Deok-soo took over as acting president as the president of Yoon Suk Yeol was suspended due to the approval of the impeachment motion.

Han called on all ministries to give urgent orders and make thorough preparations to ensure that there is no public unrest and social chaos.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Lee Jong-gu!

Yes, it's in the Government Complex Seoul.

As soon as the impeachment bill was passed by the National Assembly, the acting system of Han Deok-soo began, right?

[Reporter]
That's right.

Under the Government Organization Act, Prime Minister Han Deok-soo will act as the acting president.

Prime Minister Han, who stayed at the prime minister's official residence, went to work at the Seoul Government Complex here when the impeachment motion was passed by the National Assembly.

I told reporters that I would do my best to manage the state administration in a stable manner.

He also urged all ministries to give emergency orders and prepare thoroughly to prevent public unrest and social chaos.

In particular, he stressed the possibility of North Korea's provocation, stressing the strengthening of the entire military's vigilance and thorough preparation for crisis situations.

In a little while, we will preside over an extraordinary State Council meeting, examine pending issues in each field, and discuss the direction of state administration after the transition to the acting president system.

Attention is focusing on the extent to which Prime Minister Han will play his role as an acting president in the future.

As there is no clear regulation on the scope of the agency's work in the law, the opinion that it will only be a passive exercise of authority is prevailing.

However, whether or not to exercise the veto is likely to be an issue in the political world.

Prime Minister Han has no choice but to pay close attention to whether he will veto controversial bills handled by the opposition party alone, such as the Kim Gun-hee Special Prosecutor Act.

Earlier, in a parliamentary response, Han said he would consider whether he had the right to veto if he took over as an acting president.

Another stumbling block is that Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, accused of rebellion, is a suspect.

If they are summoned by investigative authorities, they may lose power as acting presidents and undermine their role in stabilizing state affairs.

For this reason, the Democratic Party is also considering whether to pursue impeachment against Prime Minister Han.
