Choi Sang-mok, last-minute consideration of the right to reject the bilateral special prosecution law...a regular cabinet meeting today

Acting President and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Strategy and Finance Choi Sang-mok is considering the handling of the so-called bilateral special prosecution law in the midst of dealing with the plane disaster.

This is because the deadline for exercising the veto power, which is the right to request reconsideration of the general independent counsel law, the Kim Gun-hee independent counsel law, and the so-called bilateral special prosecution law, is approaching tomorrow.

The government plans to hold a regular cabinet meeting this afternoon (31st), but it has not yet decided whether to introduce the special prosecution law.

An official from the Cabinet Office said there is a possibility that the agenda will not be presented today and that an extraordinary Cabinet meeting will be held tomorrow, the deadline for exercising the right to demand reconsideration.

Acting President Choi has not made a clear stance on the bilateral special prosecution law, but officials believe it is likely to veto it, citing unconstitutional factors.

In this regard, the People's Power will hold a general meeting of lawmakers today (31st) to decide whether to propose the exercise of the right to veto the bilateral special prosecution law.

Park Hyung-soo, deputy floor leader, said on the show, "I intend to request the exercise of the right to veto," adding, "If the right to veto is exercised and the bilateral special prosecution law returns to the National Assembly, we are willing to negotiate with the opposition party by deleting the unconstitutional provisions."

In this regard, Park Sung-joon, deputy floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, appeared on the broadcast and urged the acceptance, saying, "I think Acting President Choi is well aware of history, the stream of public sentiment, and the challenges of the times."

In response to public criticism of the vacuum in state administration, the Democratic Party is likely to hold off on impeachment even if acting Choi vetoes the bilateral special prosecution law.

The key is whether acting Han Deok-soo will appoint three constitutional judges who refused to be appointed on the condition of an agreement between the ruling and opposition parties.
