Approved within 3 hours after adoption of the previous hearing report

President Moon Jae-in approved the appointment of Justice Minister Park Bum-gye on the 27th. The term of office begins on the 28th.

Blue House spokesman Kang Min-seok said in a text message sent to reporters in the afternoon that afternoon, “President Moon approved the appointment of Minister Park at around 5:30 pm.”

The National Assembly Legislative Judiciary Committee adopted the progress report on the personnel hearing of candidate Park alone at around 2:25 pm on the same day. The Power of the People’s Judiciary, who showed that candidate Park was ineligible, did not attend the general meeting of the Judiciary Committee. The Power of the People Judiciary has opposed the appointment, pointing out the suspicion of candidate Park’s assault of a high school student and allegations of aiding in the local election nomination donation case. President Moon approved the proposal three hours after the hearing report was adopted by the National Assembly.

This is the 27th case in which President Moon enforced appointment of ministerial personnel without opposition party consent.
