On the 14th, the power of the people and the government decided to officially propose the exercise of the president’s right to request reconsideration (veto) for the enactment of the Nursing Act, which passed the plenary session of the National Assembly alone by the opposition party. Following the Grain Management Act last month, this is the second procedure for President Yoon Seok-yeol to exercise his right to veto.
Kang Min-guk, chief spokesman for People’s Power, said in a briefing at the National Assembly after a high-ranking party-government meeting at the Prime Minister’s Office in Samcheong-dong, Seoul that day, “The government and the party are concerned that the Nursing Act is a legislative monopoly that puts the people’s lives hostage, and the damage will be left to the people. “We decided to propose to the president a request for reconsideration of the nursing bill, which was unilaterally passed by the opposition party last month,” he said. The council was attended by Kim Ki-hyeon and floor leader Yoon Jae-ok from the ruling party, Prime Minister Han Deok-soo and Deputy Prime Minister and Strategy and Finance Minister Choo Kyung-ho from the government, and Chief of Staff Kim Dae-gi and Lee Kwan-seop, chief of state affairs and planning, from the Presidential Office.
The ruling party and the government have cited negative impact on public health due to undermining trust and cooperation among health care workers, collapse of the foundation of the medical system if only nursing is enacted as a separate law without social consensus on the medical law system, and discrimination against nursing assistants in their educational background as reasons for the need to exercise the president’s veto power. heard. The ruling party and the government announced that they would build a care system that fits the domestic reality and implement the comprehensive measures to support nursing personnel announced last month.
The ruling party, the government, and the presidential office agreed on the necessity of exercising the presidential veto. Representative Kim said, “I am concerned that the motivation to form an external front will be very great because the Democratic Party is caught up in the perfect corruption scandal internally.” there is. The’Yellow Envelope Act’ (which the opposition is promoting) and the Broadcasting Act will also be factors that amplify the conflict.” Prime Minister Han said, “I am concerned that bills that burden future generations or cause social conflict are being pushed forward without sufficient discussion or consensus.” Director Kim criticized, “It is undesirable behavior for the interests of one side to be reflected by force while the positions of the stakeholders are not fully converged.”
The Nursing Act is a separate separation of nursing-related regulations from the current Medical Act. It contains contents such as clarification of the scope of work of nurses and improvement of treatment. The opposition parties, including the Democratic Party of Korea, passed the bill on the 27th of last month, with the ruling party exiting the plenary session of the National Assembly. On the 16th, it is expected that the case of exercising the right to veto the Nursing Act will be deliberated and decided at a cabinet meeting presided over by President Yoon.
The power of the people is a policy that the leadership in the house will continue consultations with the Democratic Party separately from the president’s exercise of the right to veto. “In a situation where (the Democratic Party) abuses its legislative power for political reasons, the government and the party will do their best to come up with the best agreement until the end,” said Wonnae Yoon.
The prospects are bleak. Earlier, on the 11th, the People’s Power presented a proposal to amend four provisions of the Nursing Act, but the Democratic Party and the Korean Nursing Association are in a position to not accept it. In the name of the policy committee, the Democratic Party said, “The government and the ruling party announced that they would voluntarily exercise the right to veto the pledges made to the people. It revealed the intention to ignore the legislative power of the government and continue the violence that rejects the will of the people.”
