On the 13th, former lawmaker Na Gyeong-won submits a formal resignation from the position of vice chairman of the Low Birth Rate and Aging Society Committee. Attention is focused on the future response of the President’s office and the decision of former lawmaker Na to run for the party’s representative.
An official from a former lawmaker said that day, “I submit my resignation letter to the president’s office through my personal service.” The official position is that it has nothing to do with whether or not to run for the party representative, but within the power of the people, there is an analysis that the possibility of running for office has increased by submitting a resignation.
There are many observations that the decision to accept Na’s resignation will be made following President Yoon returns from an overseas trip on the 21st. From the 14th, President Yoon will go on a tour of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Switzerland for 8 days and 6 nights.
There is also a prospect that President Yoon may reject the resignation without accepting it. The day before, there was also a report in the presidential office saying, “President Yoon has no intention of accepting the appreciation of me or former lawmakers,” and expressed his intention that “President Yoon’s affection for me is still great.” There is also an analysis within the party that the presidential office is trying to block former lawmakers from running for party leadership.
Former lawmaker Na canceled all schedules the day before and discussed with her aides whether or not to run for party representative. It seems that he will make a decision regarding running for party leader in the next few days. The official position on the run is expected to be revealed following President Yoon returns from his tour.
