Acting President Choi especially emphasized, “I hope that bills related to people’s livelihood, such as the Restriction of Special Taxation Act, the Special Semiconductor Act, and the Electricity Act, pending in the National Assembly, will be passed quickly.” “This is a national crisis,” he said. “The ruling and opposition parties must work together to overcome political uncertainty and difficulties in people’s livelihoods, and to effectively respond to the inauguration of the new U.S. government, which is only a week away.”
Regarding the discussion on the Special Prosecutor Act, Acting President Choi said, “I ask that the ruling and opposition parties come together to prepare a bill that does not have unconstitutional elements.” Also, regarding the execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon Seok-yeol, who is currently in a standoff, he said, “Under no circumstances should there be any injury to citizens or any untoward incident due to physical conflict,” and “We are requesting this to the relevant agencies several times.”
In response to this, emergency committee chairman Kwon Young-se responded, “Although the political situation continues to be chaotic, the government and the ruling party must not be negligent in carrying out their assigned responsibilities at all. What is more important than anything is that the national administration is stabilized and the people’s livelihood and economy are restored.”
