South Korea’s presidential aides offer to resign amid political crisis

A national official, who declined to be identified due to political perceptions, claimed that the assistants had frequently stated their intention to move down in response to Yoon’s botched attempt to declare martial law on December 3.

Since Choi took over as acting president, the official claimed that the older secretaries have assisted him. The aides are required to report to Choi and attend sessions when needed, according to two other officers, but they do not participate in daily state functions.

The assistants ‘ most recent offer came a moment after Choi’s wonder assent to fill two of Yoon’s prosecution hearing’s two vacancies on the Constitutional Court.

Eight judges are currently on the nine-member judge, up from eight in full. At least six courts must agree before any decision in the Yoon event can be made.

Yoon’s decision People Power Party criticised Choi’s choice as “dogmatic” and lacking enough sessions.

Following the prosecution of former prime minister Han Duck-soo, who had been in office since December 14 when Yoon was removed from power, Finance Minister Choi took over the position of acting leader on Friday.

Yoon is facing charges of leading an uprising, and a Seoul district judge approved his arrest on Tuesday, the first for a relaxing leader.
