President Yoon Seok-yeol will give a speech for the administration to explain the first main budget of the new government at the plenary session of the National Assembly at 10 am today.

Considering the confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties, there was also talk of Prime Minister Han Deok-soo reading the speech, but the final decision was made by President Yoon himself.

In her written briefing, Kim Eun-hye, chief public relations officer, said, "The president will fulfill the responsibilities given by the Constitution and the National Assembly Act to protect the lives of the people in the severe economic and security situation."

Earlier, President Yoon said, "The constitution guarantees the president's right to speak at the National Assembly," and drew a line that there were no additional conditions.

parties, but as I remember, I do not seem to have heard of it in our constitutional history.]

He held a high-level strategy meeting attended by the leadership and decided not to attend the address on the city administration.

The specific refusal method will be decided at the general meeting of the House of Representatives this morning, but instead of entering the main meeting hall, a plan to hold a picket demonstration at the entrance is being considered.

The political situation is sharply strained as a card to reject a municipal administration speech, which has never been done since 2013, when the president directly gave a speech at the National Assembly, came out.
