When Acting President Choi Sang-mok, Deputy Prime Minister for Economy and Minister of Strategy and Finance announced the appointment of two candidates (Jeong Gye-seon and Cho Han-chang) recommended by the ruling and opposition parties to the Constitutional Court at a Cabinet meeting on the afternoon of the 31st, some State Council members and State Council attendees asked at a meeting after the Cabinet meeting, “Why?” It was confirmed that there was strong opposition, asking, “Are you making this decision without any consultation?” and “Is it fair for the National Assembly that carried out the impeachment prosecution to appoint a judge?” Acting Director Choi said, “As acting director, I also think there is an aspect of overstepping authority. He is said to have replied, “I am prepared to resign.”
When the closed session began after Acting President Choi announced the appointment of a Constitutional Court judge in his opening remarks, some State Council attendees continued to raise issues. The opinion that the decision was too sudden was raised, mainly by politicians and non-bureaucrats, as well as State Council members and attendees, at a time when Prime Minister Han, Acting President Choi’s predecessor, was impeached four days ago after refusing to appoint a Constitutional Court judge, citing the need for agreement between the ruling and opposition parties.
One State Council member asked Acting Director Choi, “Have the ruling and opposition parties really reached an agreement on the appointment of a Constitutional Court judge?” and another member of the State Council directly submitted his resignation to Acting Director Choi, saying, “If things continue this way, I will quit as well.” Another attendee asked, “Can Acting President Choi make a decision that no other Prime Minister could make?”
He said, “Prime Minister Han may come back after winning the impeachment trial.”
