The presidential office has recently refrained from commenting on political issues.

However, as the impeachment of the first-ever Board of Audit and Inspection head was pursued, it made what seemed to be a determined criticism.

[Jeong Hye-jeon/Spokesperson for the Presidential Office: "The Democratic Party's indiscriminate push for impeachment is a political act that violates the constitutional order."]

The presidential office emphasized that the damage from the impeachment of the Board of Audit and Inspection head would ultimately fall on the people.

It stated that investigations into national disgrace incidents from the previous administration, such as statistical manipulation and the leak of THAAD information, would be paralyzed.

The repeated impeachments of prosecutors were also defined as 'bullet-shielding' impeachments aimed at obstructing investigations and trials related to the opposition, such as the Daejang-dong and Baekhyeon-dong cases and the money envelope distribution incident.

The presidential office criticized the opposition for inducing the president's right to request reconsideration regarding the forcible processing of bills, including the Grain Management Act.

In particular, it evaluated the National Assembly law amendment that abolishes the automatic referral system for budget proposals as an unconstitutional law that ignores the budget processing deadline set by the constitution.

[Jeong Hye-jeon/Spokesperson for the Presidential Office: "The opposition must immediately stop its actions that are destroying state affairs through unprecedented legislative rampage and the excessive use of impeachment, while completely ignoring the people's livelihood."]

In this regard, the presidential office reiterated its stance of not compromising with unconstitutional and illegal laws and hinted at President Yoon Suk Yeol's exercise of the right to request reconsideration.
