President Yoon Exercises Veto on 'Private First Class Chae Special Prosecutor Act' - 15th Veto Since Inauguration

 

President Yoon Suk-yeol has exercised his veto power on the 'Private First Class Chae Special Prosecutor Act,' which was passed by the National Assembly. This marks the 15th time President Yoon has used his veto power since taking office.

The Presidential Office announced that President Yoon approved the request for reconsideration of the 'Private First Class Chae Special Prosecutor Act,' which was decided in today's Cabinet meeting. A spokesperson from the Presidential Office stated, "The special prosecutor act pushed unilaterally by the opposition must now be withdrawn." This decision comes after the police investigation results released yesterday clarified the substantial truth and accountability. The Presidential Office emphasized, "Exploiting the tragic death of a marine, who died in the line of duty, for political purposes should no longer continue."

Earlier today, the government held a Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, where they approved the request for reconsideration of the 'Private First Class Chae Special Prosecutor Act.' During the meeting, it was stated that "the opposition has once again pushed through a law unilaterally, further aggravating its unconstitutionality," highlighting the need for the reconsideration request.

The 'Private First Class Chae Special Prosecutor Act' aims to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the death of Marine Private First Class Chae. However, the ruling party and the Presidential Office believe that the act could be politically exploited, leading to the decision to exercise the veto.

This veto marks the first time President Yoon has exercised his veto power in the 22nd National Assembly, setting a significant precedent for future relations between the presidency and the legislature. Following the presidential veto, the National Assembly can re-pass the bill, which requires a majority vote from more than half of the assembly members. Therefore, a fierce debate between the ruling and opposition parties is expected.

President Yoon's veto of the 'Private First Class Chae Special Prosecutor Act' demonstrates his firm stance, and the tension between the ruling and opposition parties is likely to continue. In this politically charged atmosphere, it is crucial to seek political agreements and compromises that can earn the trust of the public.

Public reactions to President Yoon's veto are expected to be mixed. Some may support the President's decision, while others may side with the National Assembly. What is important is that such political decisions lead to the realization of the nation's well-being and justice.
