Presidential Office: "Many Professional Organizations Involved in Nursing Act"
Decision to Be Made After Gathering Opinions

The Presidential Office stated on the 1st that regarding President Yoon Seok-yeol's exercise of the right to request reconsideration (veto) on the Nursing Act bill, "We will make a decision after sufficiently deliberating through gathering opinions from professional organizations and consultations between the ruling party and the government."

A key official from the Presidential Office told reporters at the Yongsan Presidential Office on the same day, "There are quite a lot of related professional organizations involved in the Nursing Act bill," and made the remark.

When a reporter asked whether the opposition's forceful passage would be the criterion for deciding on the veto, the official said, "We start the review under such general principles, but we will also consider the particularities of each bill."

Regarding a media report that a cabinet reshuffle might take place at the end of this month, the official dismissed it, saying, "President Yoon already made a clear stance at the Cabinet meeting on the 18th of last month."

At that Cabinet meeting, President Yoon urged, concerning reports about a cabinet reshuffle, "Cabinet members should keep their focus and work with all their might for the people so as not to be shaken by such reports," emphasizing not to be swayed.
