President Lee: "Grateful to People Power Party for Budget Agreement... An Exemplary Act of Politics"
On Choo's Warrant Dismissal:
"It Is Inappropriate to Offer an Opinion"
President Lee Jaemyung expressed his gratitude to the People Power Party for agreeing to pass next year’s budget bill by the legal deadline the previous day, saying, "I appreciate the People Power Party for reaching an agreement on the passage of the bill."
On December 3, at the presidential office in Yongsan, President Lee made these remarks in response to questions about the future direction of state affairs after delivering a special national address marking the first anniversary of the "December 3 Martial Law" under the title "One Year of the Revolution of Light: Special Address to the Nation."
President Lee added, "Perhaps that is one aspect of politics," and continued, "Even when there are fierce battles, it is exemplary to see that necessary work is still carried out, and I am grateful for that."
Regarding the court’s decision to dismiss the arrest warrant for Choo Kyungho, a People Power Party lawmaker accused of obstructing the National Assembly’s vote to lift martial law during the state of emergency, President Lee responded, "I do not think it is appropriate for me to offer any particular opinion."
