DP: "25 Manwon Special Measure Act" May Be Unconstitutional... Legislative Challenges Ahead

The People Power Party stated that the Democratic Party of Korea's special measure law to provide 250,000 won per citizen has "potential constitutional issues."

On the 12th, Senior Spokesperson Yoon Hee-seok emphasized this to reporters at the National Assembly, citing Article 66, Paragraph 4 of the Constitution, which states that "executive power belongs to the government headed by the president."

Since the government's administrative power to draft the budget is stipulated by the Constitution, providing subsidies in the form of 'dispositive laws' that have executive force without going through administrative procedures, as the Democratic Party proposes through a special law, is considered unconstitutional.

He said, "The public will clearly recognize the potential constitutional issues," and predicted, "Even if the Democratic Party passes the law in the National Assembly with a majority of seats, it will be difficult to finalize the legislation."
