President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol's side publicly criticized the National Election Commission's statement that it was "impossible" for the National Election Commission's "impossible" to review the plan for Yoon-elect's side to put the 'examination and overhaul bill' to a referendum.
Chief of Staff Jang met with reporters in front of the Office of the Transmission Committee in Tongui-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 28th and said, "The National Election Commission is a consensus system. said.
Yesterday, Chief of Staff Chang criticized the Democratic Party's push for pushing ahead with the 'examination and overhaul bill' and said that after Yoon took office, he will hold a local election and a referendum in June at the same time to ask the people for their intentions and report it to Yoon-elect.
Then, the National Election Commission announced that it was impossible to hold a referendum because the list of voters could not be drawn up under the current regulations.
As the Constitutional Court ruled that Article 14 (1) of the Referendum Act, which restricts the participation of Koreans living abroad, was inconsistent with the Constitution, it is difficult to hold a referendum before the relevant laws are amended.
Regarding this, Chief of Staff Jang pointed out, "Did the National Election Commission come up with an agreement?
When asked about whether he had reported to Yoon-elect on the 'examination and complete referendum', he said, "I haven't done it yet."
He continued, "If the voter list problem is sorted out, it is not difficult to enact the (referral to the referendum law)," he said.
"Anyway, I think President [Moon Jae-in] will exercise his veto power on a bill that is unconstitutional and pushed by the majority, granting the privilege of investigation to lawmakers and public officials that the people do not want," he added.
