National Assembly Admits Constitutional Judges' Hearing Report by Ma Eun-hyuk, Jeong Gye-seon, and Cho Han-chang

The National Assembly's Special Committee on Personnel Hearings adopted the confirmation hearing report of Ma Eun-hyuk, Jeong Gye-seon, and Cho Han-chang, the candidates for the Constitutional Court, alone by the opposition party.

All three candidates were recommended by the National Assembly, while Ma Eun-hyuk and Jung Chi-seon were recommended by the Democratic Party of Korea, and Cho Han-chang were recommended by the People's Power.

The Democratic Party of Korea plans to process the appointment of these three candidates at the plenary session of the National Assembly scheduled for the day after tomorrow (26th).

The People's Power has been absent from all of the two-day confirmation hearings since yesterday, claiming that Acting President Han Deok-soo has no authority to appoint a constitutional judge.
