Ahn Cheol-soo, chairman of the Presidential Transition Committee, held a general meeting of the transition committee on the morning of the 4th and discussed ways to support the industry.
Chairman Ahn said at the meeting that it was necessary to find a way to temporarily freeze electricity and gas rates.
[Chairman Ahn Cheol-soo/Chairman of the transition for the presidency: We need to find other ways to temporarily freeze public charges such as electricity and gas rates, or to take measures such as minimizing the increase.] With the
cabinet appointment expected to accelerate, Chairman Ahn said, " It is neither a stepping stone to the Blue House nor a shortcut to the Cabinet," he said.
Starting with the nomination of Prime Minister Han Deok-soo yesterday, the elected side began the full-scale cabinet appointment process.
"We will try to announce the entire new government cabinet within the next week," said Eun-hye Kim, spokeswoman for Yoon Seok-yeol's side.
Spokesperson Kim added, "The new government will seek to complete the work of ministries by giving the ministers responsibility and authority."
Spokesperson Kim said, "President-elect Yoon will attend the meeting to discuss ways to efficiently reflect the promises in the new government's policy tasks," he said.
