People's Power Kwon Young-se called on Acting President Choi Sang-mok to quickly appoint the currently vacant ministers of the Ministry of National Defense and Public Administration and Security.

Chairman Kwon met with Acting President Choi at the National Assembly and said that security and safety are the foundation of state affairs, but the damage will inevitably go to the people due to the prolonged vacuum.

Regarding the Democratic Party's argument for creating an extra budget, he said he was not convinced why only the reduction plan was passed unilaterally last year, but explained that the timing and scale could be discussed when the National Council of Governments is launched.

However, the government basically focuses on early budget execution, pointing out that if about 40% of this year's budget is executed early in the first quarter, it will be more than 100 trillion won more than usual, which is more than the 20 trillion extra budget that the Democratic Party of Korea says.

At the same time, he said he was concerned about a conflict between the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the president ahead of the second execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon and asked the agency to refrain from excessive action.

In addition, it also emphasized the rapid processing of bills such as the Special Act on the Semiconductor Industry, the National Key Power Network Expansion Act, the Special Act on High-Level Protection Units, and the Restriction of Maritime Wind Power and Special Taxation Act.
