” Real COLOURS”
The Constitutional Court’s texture will determine whether to support the court’s decision to remove Yoon from power.
Three judges are now lacking in the courtroom. Even though it can continue with its six chair users, Yoon may be reinstated by a single dissention.
The opposition wants Han to review three more nominations for the nine-member bench, which he has thus far refused, effectively causing a stalemate on both sides.
Han’s unwillingness to fully appoint the three judges “revealed his real colors”, said Democrat Party lawmaker Jo Seoung-lae.
Jo claimed that the group may seek to oust Han to “restore constitutional purchase and stabilize state matters” and that the refusal “is a primary concern to the Constitution and the law.”
Han has stated that he would only approve of the judges ‘ appointments if the opposition’s ruling People’s Party ( PPP ) and his ruling party reach an agreement on the nominees.
According to Han,” the constant rule embedded in our constitution and laws is to stop from exercising considerable special presidential powers, including the appointment of legal institutions.”
” A compromise between the ruling and opposition parties in the National Assembly, representing the people, must first be reached”, added the 75-year-old job politician.
Amid the increasingly protracted political crisis, the South Korean won plummeted to KRW1480.2 ( US$ 1 ) on Friday morning, marking its lowest level in nearly 16 years.
After the declaration of martial law, the won first fell to a two-year small against the dollar as investors who were already concerned about Asia’s third-largest economy shunned the currency.
