Oh Se-hoon: "Lee Jae-myung, Acting as President Without Election? Paralyzing Cabinet Meetings Destroys Constitutional Order"

Criticism of Opposition's Push to Impeach Acting Prime Minister Han Deok-su

Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon criticized Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, saying, "Are you saying you cannot even wait for an early presidential election and intend to act as president without an election?"

On the 24th, Mayor Oh stated on Facebook, "Is Lee's true intention a 'state of anarchy' or a 'president without an election'?"

He pointed out, "In the Democratic Party, which is a 'Lee Jae-myung one-party system,' there is a careless claim that if five Cabinet members are impeached, the Cabinet meeting will be paralyzed and the bills passed by the Democratic Party will automatically come into effect," adding, "Paralyzing the Cabinet meeting is a constitutional destruction of a 'state of anarchy.'"

Earlier, Roh Jong-myeon, the Democratic Party floor spokesperson, appeared on Kim Eo-jun's YouTube channel the day before and stated that if Acting President Han Duck-soo does not promulgate the 'Special Investigation Act on Rebellion and Kim Keon-hee (Double Special Investigation Act)' passed by the Democratic Party, he would impeach not only Acting President Han but also the five ministers who supported the declaration of martial law. Park Chan-dae, the Democratic Party floor leader, also announced at the floor strategy meeting that he would initiate impeachment proceedings against Acting President Han.

Mayor Oh said, "The Cabinet meeting is a constitutional body under Article 88 of the Constitution, and the Constitution also stipulates that bills must go through Cabinet deliberation," adding, "Does the Democratic Party see the meaning of the people giving them a majority of seats as a command to create a state of anarchy beyond the normalization of reckless impeachment?"

He repeatedly emphasized, "Lee must answer."
