South Korea’s acting leader to veto opposition-sponsored bills
South Korea’s acting leader said on Thursday he would veto a spate of contentious bills sponsored by the main opposition party, deepening political strife in the wake of parliament’s impeachment of president Yoon Suk Yeol.
The ruling and opposition parties have been bickering over how much authority prime minister Han Duck-soo, the country’s second-in-command, has assumed since the opposition-controlled National Assembly last Saturday voted to suspend Mr Yoon’s presidential powers over his short-lived December martial law.
